bonus valentines points to those who "get" all 3


more points if you understand the title of the thread (which you all should) *shakes fist*

The last one made me lol.

I don't get the second one, but Kirby and Link I got. I miss playing the original Zelda. So good.

My bf refuses to celebrate Valentines Day on Valentines Day. However, I apparently have some sort of package being sent up and then I'm going home for Reading Week (the Canadian version of winter break) and we're going to the aquarium because they have a touch tank and otters.

Nothing says love like otters.

is it valentine's day already?

here it will be tommorow. o_O

i never celebrate it though;}

Here it's tomorrow too, but we might as well get a head start on the festivities?

i miss the lil cards we used to get in grade school. Maybe i should attach a paper bag with cut out doily hearts onto my lecture desk.

oh... good:} it's always hard for me to keep up with all those holidays and stuff. we have like at least one indepencence day in a month and it's always a few days before or after these comerce holidays. so i usually miss them;}

2 points for you!

you seem to have ignored the title question though =p


i put into google "love otters"


and this came up




that sounds about right if i was to take someone to see lovly otters this would happen!

My Dad's taking me out tomorrow to see Blue Man Group in London. So it's gonna be a good day for me

HAHAHAHA, omg, I love this topic's subtitle.

They're song lyrics.

I absolutely hate V-day...but I LOVE that subtitle.

For anyone wondering, the subtitle is from "Appendices," from the song February.

I think it's supposed to be a play on a lawyer yelling "Objection!" in a court room, but I might be wrong.

v-day has seirously got to be the stupidest holiday ever. i hate it with a passion.

Yup. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

i was looking for this song i heard on the radio to post. i think it was a spoof on Arrowsmiths "walk this way"... but it was called "I hate this day"... to bad i cant find it... it was quite ammusing

So I have to say, I really don't get people who are all "OMG VALENTINE'S DAY SUCKS!!!" and complain about it all the time. I really don't. In fact, I probably wouldn't have realised that today was Valentine's Day had it not been for everyone on my LJ flist going on about it sucking so much.

I think it's just silly, because going off about how much you hate Valentine's basically tattoos "BITTER" on your forehead. Honestly, think about it- you may say it's silly now and that you'll never like it, but if you were actually in a relationship, wouldn't you probably celebrate it anyway? You probably don't hate the holiday itself; you're complaining about the fact that you don't have anyone to be with.

And then there are those who will go on about how it's such a Hallmark holiday. Okay, yeah, it sort of is, and all the flowers and hearts and what-not is rather cheesy. But come on, we have holidays for EVERYTHING nowadays. I'm 99% sure that there's a National Jelly Bean Day. If there's a National Jelly Bean Day, why not a day to celebrate love, in all its shapes and forms? The only difference is that Hallmark probably makes more money off of Valentine's than it does Jelly Bean Day.

I mean, look at Mother's Day! Nobody complains about Mother's Day being a Hallmark holiday! And yet, same idea. You shouldn't need a single day in the year to stop and appreciate your mother, just like if you're in love, you shouldn't need a single day to stop and celebrate that. We just choose to have a particular day during the year to do so, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

So to those of you who are complaining about today: get over it and cut your kvetching. You're not the sole single person today, and you know what? There's nothing wrong with that, just as much as there's nothing wrong with being a couple and celebrating Valentine's Day. No, it's not fun feeling like everyone else is in love and you aren't, but you know what? Everyone else will be in love tomorrow, too; so why take out all your angst on today?


That being said, I wish I'd at least gotten some flowers or something.



PS: Valentine's Day is the holiday. V-Day, however, is celebrated on Valentine's Day, but it is a movement to stop violence against women, and it's rather important. You can find out more at this website (which has the word "vagina" plastered on it in big letters, haha).

Wanted to point that out. Yeah yeah, I know, people have probably been shortening "Valentine's Day" to "V-Day" for ages before this movement, but it's pretty important to me, so it irrationally bothers me when people talk about "V-Day" and don't mean this.

1 it really is a hallmark holliday
2 ive always said im bitter about it unless i did actully have someone
3 noone likes jelly beans

lies!.. i love me some jelly bellys... perhaps i'll ask them to be my valentine... they can fill my stomach with love...

1) The roots of Valentine's Day go back to the Middle Ages. People were sending Valentine's cards to each other in 19th century. Just because now a majority of cards and such a mass-produced, that makes it a horrible holiday? What the fuck about Christmas? How come nobody complains about Christmas being such a mass-market holiday, when in reality, that's really what it is now, even more so than Valentine's Day?

2) You and apparently everyone else I know.

3) Plenty of people like jelly beans, you just don't have any taste in candy.

I absolutely agree with everything Katy said. People need to stop thinking that hating Valentines day makes them sound cool.

Nope! I was in relationships for the past five years and I still stood by the fact Valentine's is a craptastic holiday. It was always along the lines of:

"Rose, candies, card? Yea, thanks (put in pile with rest of holiday stuff)."
"If you REALLY want to impress me, fill up my car with gas."
"You want to go out to dinner? That's great. I'll be here when you get back."

It was mostly about not wanting to see everyone in the world's PDA, but also it was about how serious everyone took it. Proposing and declaring their love one day out of the year. You and everyone else. Want to be impressive? Propose one week after, when she doesn't expect it. I am positive my eyerolling manner about V-day began with my Mom, dressing me in hearts from head to toe when I was young. Had I been able to talk, I am sure I would have requested black instead.

(no one will get this joke sadly)



i am aware of the roots of vanlentines, and everyone i know complains about crimbo being a clusterfuck of a holiday and is so very far away from celebrating the birth of chirst..



i dont need that to make me sound cool, im already as cold as ice =p



hearts from head to toe? blimy

Ahh, because if you complain about Christmas people bite your head off and call you a Scrooge and/or Anti-Christian and/or Anti-American. :-D Personally I can't stand Christmas but I'm not allowed to feel that way. I have to put up with 3 months of red and green everywhere and inescapable Christmas music because I'm part of a group that doesn't matter. :-) Really, it's all about numbers. If there were more people in the US that Didn't celebrate Christmas it would be okay to complain about it.

But I love the song. I've had it stuck in my head intermittently all day and I love Valentine's Day, so go fig.

Heeee, awesome. Agreed.

I know that there are some rational-minded people, you included, who wouldn't celebrate it either way. And I agree- something more spontaneous is definitely more romantic. I'm actually for the idea of everyone kind of doing their own special day in the year, instead of all on February 14th.

I was just making a general anti-angst post.

I guess I just don't understand why everyone resents it so much. Nobody's forcing you to participate or engage in celebrating it in any way, so why take everything so seriously and bitch when some people are just fine with it and actually enjoy doing things for each other. I mean, even if it's something like your mom sending you chocolates or a friend buying you lunch. I'm not defending it because I'm madly in love or anything (so not), but I take it as lightly as any other holiday.

indie rock valentines are the best...

Because I love Ze Frank:
http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2007/02/021407.html

P.S. those indierockcards are amazing.

If I get free stuff then a random stupid holiday sounds good to me.

Besides, c-c-c-cinnamon hearts (sorry... that was lame) are tasty.

Well no, you're not forced to take part in V-day, but I at least am forced to see everyone else smooching and whatnot all over the place, ew, I do not want to see that. I am forced to come up with some sort of answer to questions like "why don't you have a boyfriend yet?" and "why don't you have a Valentine?" and despite my efforts not to sound totally resentful when I answer them, I don't always achieve that. So... yeah.

i like candy

I got a Mamma package full of candy and warm socks and it made my day. My friends and I dug in and now I can stop chattering. I love Mamma presents.

I just like how warm everyone is. You don't have to be in a relationship to appreciate loving someone else.

There are a bunch of neighborhood kids who hang out in the Metro near where I live. They usually all congregate and mull around. Today was no different expect for the fact that some had flowers and stuffed animals and all were passing around candy. It just felt warmer.

Am I a little upset that my boyfriend doesn't celebrate Valentines Day? Maybe, but not for the typical "OH GOD I WANT A PRESENT" reason. I know he loves me and cares about me and I don't need gifts to know that, I just think the whole thing is so cute and ridiculous that to not acknowledge it seems to be a mild annoyance. I love the stupid Hallmark e-cards and those candy conversation hearts.

But really, I'll sit around with my friends and eat them and talk about poop and watch Sex and the City, so really, it's just a great excuse to eat too much sugar and be prosaic and lighthearted.

Not that this makes any sense because I AM ON SO MUCH SUGAR, but... yeah.

My two cents

hahahaha, yeah, i loved those cards. i remember going to the store the day b4 and buying the cards and sometimes candy...and then we would have a party. oh, how i do miss those days. high school sucks, a lot.

Happy Valentines Day from the guy with binoculars who watches you from across the street!

heheh tempe! i saw that on letterman too!

I dont know what letterman was talking about, shafers valentines song rocked!

tonetoile, that mama gift sounds soo great!

hahah ... DUDE I GOT GOOGED!

do tou want to know why I think that celebrating Valentine's day over here is pure stupidity?Because it's not OUR tradition!!As for halloween and so many other days that like 10 years ago no one over here had ever heard about and then suddently stores have started announcing these days and people just went with the flow

it's just too stupid because we are loosing our traditions to adopt others!

Googled? That sounds like innuendo on a Valentines' thread. Oh, Fel.

I got goobers. Mmmm, pb and jelly in one jar. I love shafer's songs! Dave's such a grouch.

bouns points are up for grabs again, no looking back in the thread for clues, OR YOU LOSE POINTS


so V-day is coming up again, its still a stupid day for stupid happy people...


sigh..

VG Cats, says Adam.

that wasnt the question!

it was what were they from, game wise

mad props for pandy!!
because of the word CLUSTERFUCK


oh yeah and im sick of little teeny boppers who talk in the hallways at school about their "new" boyfriends and how excited they are about valentines day, when everyone knows those girls can't keep a boyfriend for a week.
*cough* anyways.
i agree with anyone who says valentines day is too commercialized.
i don't however diss the whole holiday, cuz its a special day to spend with your significant other. even with the lame cliche gifts its still sweet
