valentine's_day di luce My loss will be secured that Friday. I cry just thinking about the re-union. You'll hug him. You'll kiss him. And you'll be together again. And our parting will be complete. Stupid me. I was going to take you to Disneyland for Valentine's Day. Stupid me. 030205 ... Insat Just another day to remember how much you lost by loving someone so hard. Yet another date to add to the calendar of reflections. 030206 ... sed another hallmark holiday. celebrate. buy candy. consume. only your sweat and blood can grease the gears of the corporate machine. flowers wilt. 030206 ... MDogMA hey at least i get a day off at school 030206 ... sprhrgrl who gets a day off from school for _valentine's_day_? that is rather crazy. but valentine's day bought me a trip to see my lover the weekend after. so i'm not whining. 030206 ... je5icafletcher i like every day. and every day i tell ryan, i love you. everyday i show him what he means to me. but on this day, i get good stuff. and that's cool with me. i always did hate it at school though when those parents send their 9 year old kids hundred dollar bouquets just so they think someone gives a shit. 030206 ... andrew why should I expect much? damnit. I hate you so much right now. I can't stand you. I don't mean any of this. but I just don't like you right now. 030206 ... no reason ferris_wheel_day !spread the word! 030206 ... sprhrgrl no reason, enslerite? 030208 ... rhin i don't want to talk about it. 030209 ... jane yay jane has a valentine 030212 ... girl_jane yay both janes have a valentine 030212 ... jane we have the same valentine?? hand him over 030212 ... jane just kidding have fun 030212 ... :-* I think that if your lover needs the excuse of a special day to treat you like they love you... they can't be much of a lover. 030213 ... valentine that is an overrated idea 030214 ... no reason i don't think i'd like valentine's day even if i had a valentine. i'd feel sorry for the people who didn't. i really, really don't like the idea of a holiday that people can be excluded from. 030214 ... rhin http://www.rhin.150m.com/Valentine.htm 030214 ... megan it's sweet, innocent and fun to me. he makes me feel like a princess, i just don't know how to thank him. it kinda sucks though this year, there's supposedly a big blizzard coming today(v-day), so my mom wouldnt let me hang out with him today. but there's the rest of the weekend of course :) 030214 ... p2 anti-terrorism valentine's day tips http://slate.msn.com/id/2078502/ 030214 ... minnesota_chris no one's knocked upon my door, for a thousand years or more 030214 ... jane right when i read that my doorbell rang my ex boyfriend dropped off a rose and some chocolate and the money he owed me and sped off he knows i don't like to get presents so he tricked me into getting one he knows me pretty well 030214 ... DavesHeroinGirl So pleasantly surprised... thank you for proving me somewhat wrong. 030214 ... angelA dont cry about hallmark. cry because you cant appreciate what you don't have; if you had someone, the day would seem colorful. love is everything wonderful in the world. a day set aside in order to recognize that is precious. stop bitching. i dont have a valentine either, but I do know alot of the world is happy on 2 14..that itself means so much. 030216 ... Aimee okay.... first off, the rest of the world really doesn't care if you're happy one day, much less any day out of the year... you're on your own there. second, yes valentine's day, in the last century has turned into a disgraceful "halmark" holiday, that no one really likes... as it puts pressure on guys to find the "perfect gift" and women are scared that, despite the fact that it's utterly blatent that valentine's day is approaching, their significant other will forget. But in saying "quit bitching" you yourself are doing just that; bitching. Plus mass amounts of people won't listen to you in this instance... or hell any instance.. I mean, look at any world leader, who the hell listens to them? People are going to feel the way they feel, and they shouldn't be mad to feel bad about that. I understand your frustration, but it's just one of those things you've just got to accept and deal with, cause it's never going to go away.... 030216 ... Carne de Metal Everybody knows that you love me baby, everybody knows that you really do, everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two. Everybody knows you've been discrete, but there were soooooo many people you just had to meet without your clothes... 030217 ... angie thank you for the best valentine's day that i have ever had : ) 030217 ... jane why would someone agree to be someone else's valentine if they didn't intend on following through? 030217 ... ecyrb I found someone, and yet I'm alone and sad. I tried to do the right thing. I never know what that is when it changes every day. But i do feel true joy with her. I dont want it to stop. 030218 ... rhin what the fuck?! 030219 ... TalviFatin Valentines Day and my birthday are my least favorite days of the entire year. Mainly because they're filled with much disappointment. I can only remember one valentines day that was awesome..and thats befcause my mother bought us children balloons and a sucker. For my birthday: There are no happy occassions. 030314 ... Tobias A.F. Valentine's day is overrated! 030512 ... Rotten77 i luv candy hearts! that's what the whole day's about if u ask me. i never have a boyfriend, and it doesn't really bother me, i just LUV the hearts! 030513 ... User24 ok, right, don't know if it's the same thing, but; in england we have 'love hearts' with little messages on them, they used to be cool, meaningful stuff, such as - "hug me" "kiss me" "i love you" and so on. Now, I buy a roll of love hearts, and get confronted with messages like; "fax me" "email me" "www" I mean, wha? huh? wtf? 030613 ... ClairE But to think perchance to dream of that first_kiss in a thousand variations... [indecipherable], and we learn about each_other. We both drop blood. We've both had sleepovers. We intrigue each other, the two sisters. 990214 031027 ... somebody was the worst one ever 040610 ... no reason seems i will continue this tradition of always breaking up with people right before. yet another reason to celebrate ferris_wheel_day! 050109 ... ... a_point_in_time... 050214 ... somebody ... 050214 ... sad_bitch i hate it, it makes want to shit. true, i might be a little bitter due to the fact that i am indeed lonely, but that's not the real reason why i hate it so much. even if i happen to be in relationship - i hate this bullshit day. what a way to mock one our most wonderful emotions - to fabricate a stupid holiday where, by social standards - you're forced to spend money on stupid shit no one needs! for what??? so we can say "i love you" or "i care about you"... really we should be expressing these emotions all the time - through our actions rather than through a stupid box of candy or edible underwear. have the powers of consumerism overwhelmed our human emotions?? leavening us incapable of expressing our emotions when we really feel them?? FUCK! valentine - i really fucking hate you. fuck you cupid, fuck you little red and pink hearts, fuck the whole thing! aaagggrrrrr!! 050214 ... Syrope hahahaha, i get to watch the people i usually envy for being so independent and stable slooowly dissolve into emo panicky blobs while i gloat "my boyfriend loves me more than everyone in the world combine loves YOU!" i'm evil i didn't have a happy childhoodd. 050214 ... sad_bitch not a about love 050214 ... anne-girl a guy on the bus gave me a chocolate heart "made with love", he said, amusingly I said something mundane, and curled up in a ball and went to sleep 050214 ... jane valentine's day has always been horrible for me. it's always been horridly depressing. the raincloud follows all day. i expected something similar today. i awoke to the sound of the door buzzing. "u.p.s.," the guy said. i figured isabel was getting flowers from one of her many admirers, or sarah from her boyfriend, or maybe that package from my mom. as the guy walked up the stairs, he said, "somebody sent you flowers." "yeah right," i said. "they're never for me." but i looked at the name, and it was me! there it was! somebody had sent ME flowers! i was so excited, i could barely get the box open. it was a dozen red roses (which must've cost like $80) from an anonymous valentine. ah, valentine's day. perhaps you're not so bad after all. 050214 ... valentine day ... 050214 ... meh no 050214 ... eklektic on this valentines day, i dont' have a love to share it with. last year i went to Grand Rapids to visit austin at school and we had a good time, even though he had the flu. this year, i made a v-day card, a hemp bracelet and filled a bag full of candy for ben. because he's a nice boy. i'm also supposed to go over shane's because he's got some darvocet and tylenol-3 for me ... a v-day present for his mocha hippie. and everyone else has their someone. 050214 ... Zoe i think valentine's day is overrated. i've never had a valentine before and it was always a day when i'd get a little sad and then eat a lot of candy. this year i have an awesome guy, and we had a great time this weekend, but we always have a great time together. he spent money on me that he doesn't have, and i stressed about getting him something. it was fun, but not worth the stress. everyday with him is valentine's. 050214 ... anne-girl nurmle murmle murmle day of cynical unattached people whose only connection with teh red-day is a heart-shaped polar function... cardioid. r = 1-acos(theta) 060214 ... emmi when i was just learning english i spelt it like walentine's_day for some exercise thing. i still think that's kind of cool. 060214 ... epitome of incomprehensibility Bring on the cinnamon hearts. 060214 ... LS My mom always gets me a card with some mini candy bars. I like that. 060214 ... misstree a perfect day for a court appearance. and my life gets thrown against the wall again. maybe this time it'll stick. 060214 ... hencewhat Well who knew...i have a valentine....and a boyfriend?! The likelyhood of one alone is slim...i guess i just got lucky but in all seriousness it came out of fucking nowhere. literally within a week of chillin everyday it just seemed like something to go with and see what happens. I asked him last week if he wanted to be my valentine in the middle of one of his sentances he said yes and continued talking and that was the last thing that was mentioned about it. It was actually the cutest thing in the world last night...i could tell he was nervous n stuff but i thought that was just cus we were at my gay ass house or something but then he was like come here i gotta secret.....you look really pretty today...then a lil while later again with the secrets....he was like your eyes are beautiful...n then idk the next thing i know its like 12 and he had said he wanted to go around then but i could tell he was mega comfy n then he goes look what time it says....12:20...i was like yeah ok, oh u gotta go home?...then he asks me if in a few weeks i was gunna tell him we couldnt hang out anymore cus i had a boyfriend. i was like um no i dont think so im 100% single by now i could tell he was getting to something but i wanted to play dumb cus i hate the awkwardness...eventually i was like i know its tuesday lmfao...happy valentines, valentine. n i gave him a kiss n a lil later he said he had something to tell me but that he thought it was stupid n he mentioned something about one of my dreams ? n eventually he just got so damn flustered and confusing i just didnt get what the hell he was going on about n he was like listen...i know its valentines day..i think its so fucking gay when people start going out on valentines day so if u wanna go out were sayin it was the 13th or the 15th...unless you really want it to be today..i was like oh ok...yeah but since u made such a big deal out of it, its the 14th so thats that...i have a boyfriend! 060214 ... mos dear valentine's day: YOU ARE NOT A FUCK BUT JUST A DIRTY, SILLY AND VERY STUPID SHIT 060214 ... camille o where is the moon i walk out into the cool eve clutching a bag full of tea light candles... through the courtyard, onto the lawn i walk towards a lake.. i sit by the bank watching ripples and one by one i light a candle for each and everyone of you here at blather draw the moon reflection of a thousand eyes.. happy valentines to que 060214 ... . you 060214 ... camille in the mad rush i saw a man panicked hair and eyeballs... I overheard him say, "oh god i forgot, and their out of roses. She's going to kill me. The man maybe in his mid 40's sweat on his brow just trying to get to the florist before they slam the door shut his face to say "sorry we're closed, Happy Valentine's Day" He thinks to himself...doesn't anybody work as late as i do anymore... he digs deep into his pocket but realizes he is probably short a few cents. He remembers he had to run to the grocery store after milk and tampons yesterday for his wife. he says, o god, then looks at his watch and says, "i should have been home already." (all of a sudden there is a quiet stillness in the room as change hit's the floor, there is a man standing in the middle of the universe surrounded by balloons, flowers, ceramic bears ribbon and music. In a blank stare he turns to the lady who is screaming at her child that will not stop touching things and.... he walks over and says.."Lady it's not worth it, not any of it!" He then turned and walked out the door past his car, past his life, past valentine's day muttering...every day should be valentine's day (just a writing-- a filiment of my imagination...why do women put men through so much???) 060214 ... camille oops filament-- fil·a·ment Pronunciation: 'fi-l&-m&nt Function: noun Etymology: Middle French, from Medieval Latin filamentum, from Late Latin filare to spin -- more at FILE : a single thread or a thin flexible threadlike object, process, or appendage: as a : a tenuous conductor (as of carbon or metal) made incandescent by the passage of an electric current; specifically : a cathode in the form of a metal wire in an electron tube b (1) : a thin and fine elongated constituent part of a gill (2) : an elongated thin series of cells attached one to another or a very long thin cylindrical single cell (as of some algae, fungi, or bacteria) c : the anther-bearing stalk of a stamen -- see FLOWER illustration 060214 ... smurfus rex I've decided not to believe in Valentine's Day. 060214 ... smurfus rex However, I must pause for this thought: "Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass." 060214 ... rosie palmeiro masturbation 060214 ... hbR^^UNW$)&%BIA#^V Chronicly single though I may be, this day bothers me not at all. I've never been a slave, yet I appreciate Lincoln's B-day all the same. I've never been a jew, but I appreciate VE-day. I've never been a Romeo, but I appreciate Valentine's Day. A perfect analogy? No, but it will suffice to illustrate my point. 060214 ... jane matt says that valentine's day is always so hard on all the men... oh the poor men. i can see why he thinks this - in the grocery store it was all men buying balloons flowers candy wine blah blah blah. a commercial on the radio said something like, flowers die, she'll be trying to work off any chocolates you give her, & honestly, have you ever heard of a woman being jealous of the size of another woman's teddy bear? what you need to get her is a diamond. that is such utter crap i don't even know where to begin. so yes, i can see what's pumped into everybody around valentine's day. i can see why men are pressured into trying to do something insane, & why women expect men to do this. because of all that, i have tried my hardest not to expect anything, & if i want a nice valentine's day, i'm going to have to make it myself. so i go to the grocery store & pick out a bottle of wine. it was more expensive than the red wine we usually buy just to get drunk & watch a movie. then i'm thinking maybe some strawberries, raspberries... maybe some cheese & crackers... soon i'm calling him asking, what are you doing tonight? what do you want for dinner? i'll make anything... i'll figure it out. he says, i dont know.. shrimp cocktail. so i go to the seafood counter where i've never been (at least unattended), & i say i need some shrimp. i try to get a good deal & as i'm waiting for them to package it up, this middle aged woman with big sunglasses comes up to me & asks me how i am going to "prepare" my shrimp. lady, i say, i'm gonna run it under cold water & dip it in cocktail sauce. but there's a good looking cookbook over there that might have the answer you're looking for. i check out & the total was more than i even want to think about. but i'm excited to make dinner, to have a quiet evening alone... i'm imagining candles lit, him kissing my neck while i'm cutting strawberries... some pot, some red wine... & maybe i'll get some tonight, right? a little effort never hurt anyone. well, i'm hurrying to get ready at my house so he can call me when he gets off work & we can meet at his house. my house doesn't have a table, & all the rambunctious roommates were at home. i'm doing the crossword on the couch when there's a knock on the door. oh shit, i think. it was him. he sat down in the corner chair & started to watch the movie my roommate had put on. great, i'm thinking, i've waited hours to eat & now i'm either going to have to wait more or just get in an argument about going right fucking now. so i wait. its two hours since he's gotten off work before we get into my car with all the food & drive to his place. on the way we stop off & pick up a movie, & i'm thinking, at least he's trying maybe. we get to his house & this is the night of all nights his roommates decide to play video games. so i prepare the food.. there's no candles or anything, & as we're eating he's talking about serial killers or something. i know he's never celebrated anything like this before but.. i dont know... i was still hoping i could get him to make out with me by the end of the night. so finally his roommates finish their gaming & i grab the strawberries & we sit down to watch the movie (saw II). i'm thinking, cool... scary movie... excuse for him to hold me tighter... etc. well it was rather anti climatic & by then we had finished the wine & smoked some pot, so he was tired & it was time to go to bed. "goodnight," he said.. & rolled over. at this point i'm thinking, alright, well there's always tomorrow morning. i mean nobody really wants to make out in the morning but maybe he'll want a hand job or something. we wake up, i've had some gnarly dreams & he kisses me& says well that was a lovely valentine's day dinner, thank you. that was it. miss jane got nothing. so i guess i know now how guys feel on valentine's day, only i'm hoping that someone out there got some for me. 060215 ... caresscoffee why do people like valentine's day? i've never liked it.. maybe it's just because i've never had anyone to celebrate with an' around valentines you seem to notice all the happy lovey dovey couples all hugging an' kissing.. i still notice a bit.. an' i have a fiance.. i didn't even see or hear from him on valentines an' the next day when i said "happy valentines" he said "what's that?".. 060217 ... ever dumbening thank you jeebus for internet porn. i've got a handful of valentines right here for ya. 100214 ... no reason i don't really like or dislike valentine's day, but i find that this year, i'm okay with couples publicly displaying their affection for each other on the day. if i like the couple and if their exchange is fun, i may even find it cute. things are what you make of them. if you make what you want of things, other things such as these aren't so significant. i don't know if that makes sense. in any case. happy valentine's_day and, of course, ferris_wheel_day, lovely blatherers. 140214 ... flowerock I don't like the colors that go with valentine's day, or the excess waste from all of the excess teddy bears and candy boxes and wrappers and cards... if it's about love and lovers and sweetness then why buy a bunch of crap, pollute the planet a little extra, show no love for those still struggling to find food and water not contaminated by the production of our "valentines" at the edge of their town in some other country... most holidays in the U.S are like this though. We just like to over consume to prove that we can, it means we're a good mate, right? we can afford candy and flowers and teddy bears and cards and THINGS we need more STUFF. 140214 ... flowerock awe man... it only posted the negative bit of what I wrote because of my copy pasting. I'm not all hate and anger, I swear! ^.^ The rest was something about how after I post this I'm going to make my love some coffee in the french press with cocoa powder and peppermint oil, maybe some maca. his phone alarm went off but he seems to still be sleeping... so I have time ; ) If you don't have a lover, find a friend or even a stranger and hug or have coffee or tea, talk, climb a tree, hug the tree, hug in the tree! snuggle a dog or a baby... celebrate love! and if all that is still just too much bullshit for your life then collect all the "valentine's day" trash and make it into a pinata full of dog shit (because there is rarely a shortage of assholes who leave it on the ground) and hoist it up somewhere for drunk valentiners to find and play with later when the bars let out ; ) 140214 ... flowerock http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/st-valentine-beheaded just in case you wondered. history channel reminds us. 140214 ... silentbob I am not bitter today. I am single by choice and I love myself very much. 140214 ... flowerock there's a band or a movie or something called "my bloody valentine", right? I laughed about this today because I had a bloody valentine, being that my uterus is shedding. hee he hee... I find it funny. 140214 what's it to you? who go blather from
