I ******* HATE VALENTINES DAY

[JustLost]

I just think it's kind of sad that the basis for having a great country depends on it's citizens spending large amounts of cash on mp3 players and designer shower heads. I suppose it's necessary, but it's not exactly the Utopia our ancestors had in mind...and this is coming from someone that went to school for commercial art.

However, that's the way it is. Apparently capitalism is what all the cool kids are doin' these days, so I won't fight it. Maybe I'll go buy an ipod.

I can't say I care for it, but I'm not against it either. You don't need a special day to show someone you care for them.
And yeah, it's an over-commercialized day that's been made for the markets. But isn't every holiday!? Hehe. No holidays are really that special anymore, cause you can't go in a store without it being blasted in your face (ie/ Wal-Mart) haha.

It is what it is. I sometimes feel like letting my inner child loose and buying one of those cheep cut-out valentines books and sending them to people for the hell of it XDD But it would cost too much on the postage, I'd have to send them all express to get them there on time! Hahaha.

Even when I've had boyfriends I've asked them not to get or do anyhing for V Day. It's a load of marketing crap. It's also quite sexist, I mean where among the pink and fluffy BS are you gonna find a good guy present??

Well there's always chocalate..

I think you shouldn't have to get the guy a present. I surely have never expected one. Whenever I've taken a girl out I've always treated her and never gotten anything, but I was never upset about that cause I think that's the way it should be.

I just got to hear from a friend of mine that her valentine is spending thousands of dollars for the day with her
Does anyone really need to go to that extent? I don't know.. sigh. That much money could be used for so many other things that's beneficial. *shrugs*.. just how I feel.

Well, it makes him happy to make her happy, so why not? I would totally spoil my sweetie if I could(and if I really had one).

I think its a celebration for lovers. As I love many things and people, and feel that at least some of my friends honestly love me, I don't see any reason not to celebrate. I do hope that my relationship had a more honestly romantic bent, but there's that. And it never hurts to have another day to tell someone that you care for them and value them.

I think I'm going to do that now.

PS: Incidentally, I tried exactly that later today with a friend, just to prove that my deeds match my words

Me: "Actually, the real reason I'm talking to you is because I'm looking to see if I can get a kiss on the kiss from a pretty girl."
Her: "Um."
Me: *grin*
Her: "Um. Its not quite Valentine's Day, is it?"
Me: "Better sooner than later, right?"
Her: "Um. Bashful."
Me: "I'll see you tomorrow, then." *wink*

Mwuhahaha. So glad I had the courage to say that.

I not a huge fan of valentines day.. I mean, I think it's nice.. I just never have anyone to spend it with. I don't think it's solely a romantic thing, but, instead, a day to show anyone you love that you care... I don't think there needs to be a specific day to do this, but I do think the idea of valentines day is cute. I love flowers and chocolate as much as any other girl. True, it's become way too commercialised and what not but, chances are, If I say I don't like it, it's only because I'm bitter that I don't have a significant other. My dad gave me 12 red roses, though, which I thought was cute and it put a smile on my sad face.

ill spend time with you
I dont have anyone either, the plus side is I dont have to go out and buy a gift.

Thankfully V - Day is only one day, sucks seeing the city like it is but still its only for the one day.

Im just enjoying my V-Day gift, a latte and a biscuit....which i've just treated myself too

Guess i better get back to doing some work ... event tho theres nobody in today.. no staff or students..

Am with you. I hope there rich cos if not then that is silly. If you need to spend that much to prove your love then I would say there is a trust issue there somewhere.

Purely epic. You have nothing but my respect.

Ugh... oh well, at least it's all almost over now

My thanks. Unfortunately, she conveniently hid out all of today from me. Fortunately, I also had another girl(a cheerleader of all things) who said that she would give me a V-day kiss, and I did collect on her successfully

Update: I collected on both, including Miss Bashful.
