Valentine's Plans?

bpblu

I know some people despise this day with a passion (I used to before I actually fell in love with the right girl), but I wonder who is planning anything for Valentine's?

I'm just planning dinner and movie with my sweetheart. Plain and simple, but spending time with her is all I need (especially since she's currently an hour-and-45-minutes away ;_;).

Anybody else have special plans?
 
Fantasy cricket between England and the West Indies. YEAH!!

I am indifferent to some random day named after a random religious martyr that had no contrived romantic meaning until the middle ages.
 
Sit at home staring at the wall depressed that I'm too awkward, unconfident, and selfish to form a meaningful relationship...or just play video games. One of those too.

I'll spend some time staring at a wall depressed and some time playing video games.
Unless something fantastic happens in the next two weeks.

It's amusing trying to trivialize it by being pedantic but it obviously has modern connotations and customs, whether the meaning was originally inherent or otherwise.
 
What is this Valentine's day you speak of?

Where I come from, February 14th is Singles Awareness Day
 
I will probably use the day to NOT do anything for the girl I'm seeing and maybe use it as an excuse to extricate myself from the sham of a "relationship" we've been feebly building.
 
I'm going to treat my right hand to a nice, candlelit dinner, then maybe take a bath with some scented oils and give it some good old lovin.
 
My girlfriend and I agreed to just spend the day together instead of doing the whole gifts thing since we are both a little tight on money right now :/

should be good though
 
I'm going to get steaming drunk, go into a posh restaurant and tell the girl I had a one-night-stand with the guy the previous evening.. rinse and repeat. Hopefully much drama will ensue.
 
I won't do anything special, i never liked it to be honest. Probably i will talk to the girl i love with the day as an excuse hah

Rather, I find it extraneous for entirely separate reasons. That is, if I were in a relationship, I would not need a specific day to lavish affection upon my partner. Valentine's is an exercise in excess and vanity.

BTW, pedantic would be to point out that it was originally designed by the Catholic Church to coincide and compete with a Pagan festival on February 15th.
 
A good Greek restaurant and a little surprise.

(Don't tell her about the restaurant.)
 
Going to dinner, and buying her a new iPod. Pretty sure she's getting em an R4DS!

Granted, Valentine's Day will be our one year. I normally don't do that for a normal holiday. That's be like buying someone a new car for St. Patrick's day.
 
Nothing, sadly.

Being one who never gets outdoors, I'll just likely lurk on firebot while everyone else is away getting laid, bemoaning my lack of friends.
 
Well, if my boyfriend's available I'm sure we'll be going out somewhere... I'll be pretty sad if he is busy though, which tends to happen a lot with conflicting schedules and all, but the fact that I'll actually have someone on Valentine's Day for the first time ever is satisfaction in itself actually.
 
While McGraw brings up a good point about excess, I think there's nothing wrong with a little excess sometimes. So I plan on doing something excessively out-of-the-ordinary for my girlfriend. Don't know what yet.
 
well I'm on a school residential on the actual day so i won't actually be doing any card sending, but I expect i will recive a couple of cards on my return from some complete skank like usual.
 
Writing songs for my CD. I will probably write like three songs about how I am single and throwing myself into a project to suppress my feelings of disdain due to the fact that I am single and always have been.
