Raining_again Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 are we all single here...?? wait is that a silly question? Are you romancing someone this weekend/valentines? I think I'm just gonna sit and eat a box of chocolates, feel sorry for myself and contemplate my crappy life! Being single wins every day of the year except v.d!
Cube Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Valentines Day is the only day of the year where I'm glad I AM single. It's a complete farce.
Magnus Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 This will be the 26th consecutive year that I spend Valentine's Day alone. I'm going for the record! /FOREVER ALONE
Eenuh Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I've never really seen the point in Valentine's day. If you want to get each other gifts or do something nice, do it on some other day. It's more fun and more of a surprise that way. Plus Valentine's day is forever linked with my grandmother's death, so I feel like I shouldn't even celebrate it heh.
Raining_again Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 aw magnus, bless your cotton socks :P I'm on my 24th! yay! *sends hugs in Ine's direction* I do agree that its crap, completely. Just the one day where everyones all "coupley" and I feel like I'm missing out
The Peeps Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Never received anything for valentines day. I mostly try to ignore it. As usual there's no one in my life at the moment who I would consider getting anything for. That's not to say that I don't have my crushes or whatever, I just know it'd be a wasted venture. Maybe next year :p
Ellmeister Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 If i can recover from this heavy cold/flu enough, tomorrow I'm going to Loch Fyne with my girlfriend. She's coming back from home having just used her 'Mother and Daughter Spa Day' I got her for Christmas so she should be happy with my efforts! Also bought her some chocolates. Nothing special, but just a meal which we do pretty much once a month anyway. Going tomorrow because every restaurant is doing some ludicrously expensive "Valentines Menu." Just because they know people will pay it!
mcj metroid Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 hmmm I plan to get drunk like every other year/day. Not really ambitious but meh what can you do
Grazza Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 When I was young, Valentine's Day wasn't yet commercialised, and thus not a big thing (same goes for Halloween). It was just about sending someone a card. Nowadays people think they have to buy their partners loads of stuff every year! Score another one to the commercial forces.
Slaggis Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I shall be heading out with a bunch of my favourites, and also a guy I'm rather interested in. It was going to be a purely "single ladies" thing (:p), but I figured what the hell. I refuse to stay in and wallow in self pity, when there's a bottle of wine and a dance floor with my name on it.
Magnus Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 hmmm I plan to get drunk like every other year/day. If you get drunk every day, you may have a problem. But at least you're consistent.
S.C.G Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 The amount of tasteless crap I saw going through the tills at work today was ridiculous... heart-shaped everything just because and with a high price-tag slapped on it just because people will buy it, I even heard that some supermarkets are selling heart-shapped cucumbers I mean ffs lol. You can bet that the day after it'll all be sold-off for pennies too, that's the most laughable part :p commercialisation ftl...
Paj! Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I would probably go out and drown my non-sorrows but I have a tutorial on V.Day where I have to present filmed (and edited) work-in-progress sketches of my project...none of which I've done lolololol. So it'll be a late-night last-minute job I think. I might just stay up all night in the library because I can, and haven't done so yet.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I don't really pay much attention to it. I've sent Ine a card already, which she got with her birthday card. It doesn't seem that important compared to birthdays and other days. Plus, sometimes, it can seem quite tacky in the way that people go about things, with heart shaped stuff, doing the cliched thing of proposing on valentines day and...stuff.
Emerald Emblem Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Valentines day is just another day in my book, the book of a single male.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Valentines day is just another day in my book, the book of a single male. With you being an Arsenal fan, I can see why it would be difficult for you to find consenual and willing females.
Beast Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I find Valentine's Day to be bullcrap, though that could be because I am single and it's the only day where it's constantly reminded of this fact throughout the whole week, haha. Even if I was with someone, I'd find it to be complete crap anyway. I mean, basically, it's the one day of the year where you show your partner affection...shouldn't they be doing this anyway? However, that's my take on it, I don't spoil it for everybody else though and I keep it to myself, lmao. Valentine's Day used to be about sending cards to people who you liked and keeping it anonymous. Now it's turned into doing it if you're a couple or married. It's just another gimmick to buy and sell stuff to me. Having said this, back in the days when I wasn't single and my girlfriends actually cared about this day, the only thing I bought them, if I was dating, was a single rose and a card along with another present. I actually put the effort in with the rest and cooked them dinner (normally spaghetti bolognese with cheese and half a baguette or their favourite) and placed two candles on the table and then we'd watch a movie together after dinner and then other stuff. Can't go wrong really! unless one of their parents are in, then the mood just dies and yes, this has happened to me before...
Nolan Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Well right after work I'm going to school....It'll be so romantic "learning" with a bunch of other guys. Plus I'm just another lonely person.
Magnus Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 It'll be so romantic "learning" with a bunch of other guys. "If you know what I mean."
Nolan Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 "If you know what I mean." Well.....there is a bit more homoeroticism than I'm comfortable with on the best of days.
Hamishmash Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I'll send my boyfriend a text. Cos I'm a fucking Casanova, baby.
Ellmeister Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I'll send my boyfriend a text. Cos I'm a fucking Casanova, baby. I can imagine you avatar saying that post so easily. Perfect fit!
gaggle64 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Co-op are doing these amazing valentines day cupcakes that are like iced sex, so I'll be burying my sorrows with those instead of having any actual iced sex.
