What are you guys going to do today(or tomorrow, depends on your GMT)? :)
I'll be busy with a 3-4 hours long date with nightwalk, pizza and "relax" time. It's not like FREDding but, well, I'm sure it'd be nice anyway. :pimp:
If you're not engaged, you're advised that February 15th is your day("San Faustino", which should be "St. Little Faustus" in English, although I don't know if single Anglosaxons celebrate it). :nervous:
-
I'm going to be testing, as per usual, but the day after I'm going to see some of my family.
Along with eagerly anticipating the report that INFASA's last mission is finished. (hint, hint, wink, wink) ;)
-
Oh ****!
I'm meant to be in the city in 3 hours.........thanks for reminding me :pimp:
-
On Valentines Day I am devoting myself to studying and taking 3 different science tests. Voluntarily. If I do say so myself, I believe that this trumps studying Chemistry instead of going to homecoming.
-
Going to a dance tonight. Not doing much of anything on the actual day.

Happy Single's Awareness Day

Happy Single's Awareness Day
Ditto.
I'll be doing my usual Saturday whatever random tasks around the place or shopping by necessity and so forth. Will be doing my best to avoid all of the unpleasant reminders. Probably watch some sort of action movie with large explosions. Might be time to bust out The Rock or Die Hard :)
-
I did my shopping tonight, though i did toy with the idea of yelling "Where the hell are the Happy Christian Martyrs slain by Romans Day Cards?" in CVS while looking at the drivel spewed forth by Hallmark.

Main theme from The Rock is just as mournful as the Valentine's Reminder that I, like a lot of people, are single.
Probably going to bust some ass and get an arseload of school done.

Happy Forced Affection Day!

Hmm, spending time with my girlfriend, we have to finish a project we're building, and then we may go do some fishing. :D

Do what I did for homecoming, take her out to dinner, then to see the symphony.
Neither of us really wanted to go to the dance...so we went and saw Tchaikovsky 6 and some piano chick instead. We still got to dress up to boot.

I'm going to find a crowded restaurant, and reenact this (http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1429#comic).

/me checks the topic of this thread.
So what?

I'm going to live. Full stop.
I don't celebrate and observe Valentine's Day even though I acknowledge its presence.

Drinking ->

Musk Ox day for me again this year, so I slept in, spent the afternoon with my family (my brother had to tech support for my aunt and cousin), and now am going to watch a movie or summat.
-
For me it's any other weekend.
Internet, internet, internet, **** COURSEWORK TO DO ****************

all I have to say to this topic is **** YOU. that is all.

I'm going to indulge in my customary amusement over the comments of "Singles Awareness Day" and "Forced Affection Day", and ignore it. Valentines is for elementary school and getting candy.
Even assuming I do have to purchase affection, and I rather hope I don't, it's something that should be done much more frequently then a single day a year.

We're on the same boat. Yay. :D

Dudes, my opinion on Valentine's Day was not any different from yours, but...hell...it's a good chance to have a good time with a partner as you would during your/her/his birthday party. Since two parties per year aren't that much let the third "party" be Valentine's Day.
-
I love Valentine’s day. Did when I was single, do now even though my snugglebuddy is 900 miles away.
It's totally the candy. I guess we know where my heart really lies.

900 Miles away! ****, that's commitment.

Two and a half years now! Thank goodness for the internet.

In that case, you have the whole year to do it, yeah? It need not be February 14.
-
I went to two malls, ate Japanese mostly food, and then got lost on our way back to the dorm. I spent 11 hours of the day with Xun.
-

You missed the point.
Picking up a random day of the year is not the same.

Yeah, that whole 'hype' is gone if it's going to be a random calender day. And women love the hype.

No wonder.

went to he reserunt with my partener and then came home and played :lol:
-
been at work, had 12 shouting matches with customers (i work in tech support for a Cable provider here. Our call center covers the whole country, roughly 180k users of cable tv, internet and telephone. there is roughly 8 of us per shift. When **** hits the fan... the fan blows up...) regarding our switch from standard analog TV distribution to DVB-C... Whiners all of em.
Neways, afterwards, went to a friends place with my gf to play some d20, played it from 6PM till 10:30PM, then i took over DM-ing and we started to play the long awaited fantasy campaign, forgetting the d20 as it was tiresome, we played till 3AM when i basically fell out of the chair from tiredness.
also, i got myself a kick-ass laptop for $1k. turion x64 x2, 4GB ddr2 667, ati 3650 with dedicated 256 megs of ram for itself, 320 gigs HD. the bloody thing is a ****ing murderer.
aaaand... i'm missing my dear normal maps -.-

If I was single and/or a guy, people would believe me when I say I think Valentine's Day is stupid and irritating. -.-

I am not single, i'm a guy and i'd believe you. :pimp:

I've refrained from saying anything about it until today because in the days before Valentine's Day all I ever hear is "women want candy, flowers, and jewelry" and "if a woman says she doesn't want anything, she will be PISSED if you don't get her candy, flowers, and jewelry."
I think, personally, I'd be super happy with receiving flowers and candy any time. Especially candy. I love candy. Flowers are sweet, unless they are expensive or an "I'm sorry" present. I'd prefer wildflowers from my yard than frigging "I'm sorry" flowers.
But if I only got flowers/candy on V-Day, I'd think that whoever I was dating was uncreative and easily swayed by propaganda. And prefers to believe stupid stereotypes over knowing anything about me.
I hate clichés. A lot. >.<

Either you love your "partner" (and continiusly offer candys to her/him) or you don't. Days like "Valentine's" slowly kill the romance the way you explained :yes:
-
I tend to agree.

Relationships aren't a game. Some people can't quite wrap their minds around that.

I pity you.

I made my baby cookies, bought her a journal and chocolate, and went to visit her for the weekend in Ft. Collins, which is 100 miles away from where I live in Denver. We had so much fun, and I think we've made a breakthrough in our relationship :D I love my baby

Change "some" to "most" if you live in Singapore.

Umm, not really. I buy my girlfriend candy all the time, but as Mobius said it can be a day when you think up something special to get the person you care about. If you just buy stuff for someone on Valentines Day, you are a idiot.
-
Ya really. Valentines is a day to celebrate the person you're with, that by no means should be taken to mean it's the ONLY day. I like the idea of Valentines day, I don't understand how people don't, unless they're unhappy in whatever relationship / lack there-of they're in.

Well everywhere there are people like that. The people who slowly become desensitized to it and never find real satisfaction anymore in it.

Agreed. And i should write "candies" instead off candies. What i mean is that stereotypes like V - day tend to create obligations where there should be only pure sentiments, that's why i despise them.
-
The element of surprise is lost on such days, I think.
-
I purposely don't buy my wife flowers on Valentines day, though she loves them, because I will buy them randomly throughout the year. That way they are always a welcome surprise and not contrived! I buy her the obligatory card though, even if she forget's to get me one. I don't mind, I love her and know she loves me! ;)

Good to know that you're doing well in your family, Wobble. :nod:

The gooey romancey part of it doesn't bother me so much. What pisses me off is the way I'm supposed to act. Eurgh.

Well I hate those chicks that act weird/crazy/childish around Valentine's Day. As my friend quite nicely put it
"N00bs."
