ChibiHorsewoman Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 [quote name='chibi-master']Th-thank you!!!:animecry: *clings to you like a wet beach towel* Well, Nerdsy, I was going to offer to help you with those posters, but as you can see, I now have a Valentine!:p But I nominate...Darren (the werewolf one) to be your Valentine of you want! And no, Darren, you get no say in this.[/QUOTE] [color=magenta][font=fiolex girls][size=7][b]U[/b][/font][/color][/size][color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]h you're welcome? Just don't expect anything except a polite e-card because I'm about to buy a new cell phone, so I'll be broke. I'm just glad I could help out. Nerdsy, I second the nomination of Darren. But I was thinking that maybe on Valentine's day all of us without dates (for whatever reason- and I feel I should be included since geography has left me single on V-day) We should have a single chat- just for the purpose of stuffing our face with expensive chocolate from cute heart shaped boxes. We can do it on AIM. Who's up for it? Okay before I close off I have to ask, why is Valentine's Day so romantic? It's a Saint's Feast day which means that the guy was probably killed in a rather gruesome fashion. Not exactly my idea of a romantic gesture. I guess if you were to combine the pagan festivals of this holiday it'd be okay. But do you really want to share your signifigant other with others? IMHO, I believe that the Japanese have it right when they celebrate White day and give out chocolate no actual romance involved.[/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hm... A Valentine's? IDK... I'm probably pretty emotionally abusive, but I don't mind Nerdsy. And yes, a chat should be fun CHW... Although, I seriously doubt I'll have any chocolates from heart shaped boxes to munch on. It will probably be more along the lines of a carmel apple (Assuming that my grandma has my new address and sends it on time because that's what she always gives me) and left-over pizza... But shoot, let's go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese- Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Valentine's day? pffffffffff......as if having a girlfriend isn't enough of a waste of time and money. Valentine's day is a marketing scam, there are people who literary go out for like 2 days during that period. In my opinion relationships are dumb, waste of time and money unless you're getting action, then you can't complain. I say this and yet, I've had 3 girlfriends just in 08. Sad.

If you want someone you can have a laugh with, spend time with, have a nice connection and waste money [i]because you want to[/i], or even just be with someone you really like, then you get a girlfriend/boyfriend. Relationships that don't even work out aren't even a waste of time. Gives you experience and a different perspective on things so you can eventually find the right someone.

As for Valentines day, if you care for someone, holiday or not you'd want to do something nice for them. Focusing on the commercial aspect ignores the more important one of whether or not you care for someone. Vicky already covered the other points I might have made so I'll not bother to repeat it. And chibi-master, do you really think your parents were hypocritical for caring enough about one another to eventually get married and have you? =P[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sangome Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 [SIZE="1"]I'm going to be hoarding myself up in my room and thanking God Almighty that Valentines Day falls on a Saturday this year. I do get stuff from my dad. But outside of that and the stuff boys were forced to give to me in grade school, I don't have anyone to celebrate it with [I tried the friends thing before...all it did was get me pegged bisexual. Nothing against them, but being called something you're not is never fun. Especially when I'm in a society that casually uses gay and the like as insults]. Not like any man in his right mind would get near me anyway. But to those that actually have people to celebrate it with or don't get pegged as something you're not, then I do sincerely wish you a good holiday. But for me, it's just another weekend.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horendithas Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 [COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Arial"]I'm engaged, so obviously I'll be doing something for Valentine's Day. I just don't know what yet. I can say that for those times when I was single, I just enjoyed a normal day doing whatever. I've never hated the day. Anyway... Now, for some humor for the thread cause it needs it. =P [CENTER][IMG]http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/2/1/128779919185419355.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 [FONT="Book Antiqua"][COLOR="Blue"] This is Valentine's Day number two with my boyfriend, and he's not into all the commercial gift buying of flowers or roses n such so knowing how he is and how I am I will possibly do the following. Buy my mom a book, just cause she loves to read and because its the easiest freaking gift in the world to buy along with a card that I will creatively add a piece of my own flare to because heck its jut entertaining to add something to silly to a semi-serious card. HEHE! SHE LOVES IT! She'll actually get this on the 12th of February ALONG WITH travel for two hours after I work 12 hours overnight to go and have some fun with my boyfriend and his friends or sleep part of the day away in his arms. I think I may buy him a Strawberry cheesecake. See how much he really likes it. Plus he will want a poem. GAH! Its been too long since I wrote one. There is absolutely no creativity flowing right now. This will take place on the 13th and 14th. AFTERWARDS I will drive two hours back home to tickle my daughter and maybe spend a little time in church (gotta pray for the sinning I did on Valentine's Day) and tickle the kid before going to sleep to spend another 12 hours working overnight. Happening on the 15th. SO from what it seems I have a plan for the whole few days surrounding this holiday. But what is it I expect in return, just a fun time no matter who I will be with.

Ravenstorture Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 [color=darkgreen][font=garamond]Woohoo! Any excuse to call in a load of favours, I say. I'm going to be lying in bed ordering my boyfriend around. I agree that there is a lot of commercial preying upon our traditions, and indeed one could argue that religion as a whole is a scam... But for me, it's another excuse to spend money and feel only slightly less guilty about it, and demand breakfast in bed and not feel guilty about it at all. My boyfriend is spoilt rotten, it's valentines day for him every day. Feb 14th is my turn. Relationships are definately a waste of time and money unless you're getting something out of them. 'Action' does indeed has its merits, but there are other things to be gained as well, as you will most probably discover one day, my friend Tallgeese. ;) [/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/FONT][/QUOTE] [color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]Yeah I'd've replied to this one as well, but as I've been divorced once and am engaged, but without the ring and the official asking, I don't know if I'm biased or not. I do believe that any relationship no matter if it ends in a spectacular array of craptastic or lasts til you're too old to remember where you are is not a waste. The bad ones are merely stepping stones. Which is why henceforth I will refer to my first marriage as a starter marriage. After all I did get a child out of the whole deal. And Tallgeese, maybe it just seems like a waste of time and money because you keep on serial dating and are afraid of commitment.[/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunfallE Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 [COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]And here I've kind of always liked the day. ^^ Whether I've been single or not. I do agree that it's overdramatized with the commercialism and such, but I still like the sentiment of doing something for a person you care about. I get the argument that one shouldn't need a day to be romantic or show you care, but if that's really true, why would you object to doing it on that day too? It's just one of many days to show you care in my opinion, even if that care is only to treat yourself. [/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiHorsewoman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 [color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]Eh I'm kinda Meh about Valentine's Day right now. I found good cards for two of my friends, but there isn't anything right (IE: anything that isn't going to give someone diabetes) for my boyfriend. I'm not mushy, sentimental and romantic. That's his job. Seriously, he cried when I told him I loved him. He's also an insane perfectionist which is why I never even got a card last year, what he drew didn't look right for him. Thank God this year I just asked for the Canadian quarters. However, I do love the whole chocolate and gifts. Plus Indi's post is filled with chocolate coverd win.[/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this post is equally qualified for the PDA thread. Uhm, that is all. Sorry I can't help you out, I never give V-Day gifts because I've never been with someone on the holiday. (Or ever, for that matter) :( But what me and my best friend did on Christmas was just go to dinner together since we both feel that we're getting too old to exchange gifts and it's really hard to buy for each other... But seeing that you're already doing that, and she's already gotten you something, I don't know. Jeez, I suck at this. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010DigitalBoy Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I don't have any V-day plans since, as I'm sure many of you aren't surprised to find, I still lack a 'love interest.' However, I'm actually not taking my bets off of a girl confessing to me this year. Some informants have told me that there are girls who have a crush on me (though I've yet to ask for the list) so maybe I'll be lucky. Or unlucky? Or a heart-breaker? I guess it's time to actually put my standards to the test! More seriously, I'm not even sure how I'd react to that. If a girl asked to go out with me I'd just ask "are you serious?" "are you sure?" and possibly "I kind of feel bad for you." What if she tries to kiss me? I'd definitely have to warn her about how long it's been since I last brushed my teeth! Luckily for me, I don't have any real crushes. There's 'that cute girl in my art class' but her personality is like a brick wall that all conversations ram into. Ideally, my valentines day would probably involve cuddling under a blanket and watching Hidamari Sketch (and maybe later on Hatsu Inu?!) but I can't say that doesn't describe my general ideal day. And that's no first date anyway, so it's auto-reserved for a later V-day. Oh, what a mess. Most likely, it'll just be me telling myself 'keep expectations low' but still being a little disappointed when no one asks me out. Will make sure not to schedule any depressing shows.
