Will you be my Valentine? =)

[dramasnot6]

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE! Here's a place to share plans, thoughts on the day in general, and....possibly reveal who your Valentine is?
Or maybe you think today is a marketing scam of big industries producing fake flowers and cheesy greeting cards? Feel free to share your thoughts and beliefs!

[Nick Rubashov]

I have a rough draft due for my Madame Bovary research paper, as well as 2 test and a European history project. I plan to resist the urge of stabbing somebody and try to forget my troubles.

:D ahh...love is in the air!

Here be a worthy valentines image!

[Basil]

This is the best valentine I ever received--I'll share it with you all:

The message inside reads:

Through love, through friendship,
A heart lives more than one life.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody :)

[thevintagepiper]

My daddy is my valentine :)

I love the old story of St. Valentine. The day is far too commercialized now and puts stress on single people, like even girls my age. It's so silly and sad.

I'm purposefully single and proud of it.

But you could say I have a valentine....mayyyybe...

[Madhuri]

Our entire team has got an off today, my boss is so cool....:cool: :D :D

[Pensive]

Plans? Telivision. Studies. Maths book is going to be (at least ought to be) my Valentine today. :D

[Virgil]

My lovely wife is my valentine. :ladysman: And a special velentine kiss to my mom.

Plans. None tonight. I'll take my wife out to dinner on the weekend, and I got her tickets to see My Fair Lady. But that isn't until March 9th.

[Madhuri]

Have a nice time, Virgil :D

[Niamh]

My boyfriend Anthony is of to Cork to work on an amx system so i have a date with my ego, some popcorn and a soppy chick flick or most haunted.

Happy Valentines day everybody!xxx

[mir]

We have a snow day today, so i'm stuck inside the house, except for when i have to go out and shovel the driveway . . . oh well. Happy Valentine's day anyways!! :D

[TEND]

I just got back from work.....I had to wrap so many flowers.....*shudder*. I've been meaning to ask a girl from my work out for a while, but she wasn't there today so.....no valentine for me. I'm gonna eat up, have a shower and than watch 'Once Upon a Time in the West,' very romantic.....:D at least in my eyes.

[grace86]

Plans...today it was work and class. I didn't even get to tell my sweetie Happy Valentine's. But we are going out this weekend (tonight?! yeah sure...it's crazy out there). We will probably go to dinner at this steakhouse I've never been to, and to a movie.

Tonight, relaxing with the sweetie watching a movie at his house and chowing on junk food.

Happy Valentine's everyone. I love you all!

[Tenacious]

Indeed it is a marketing scam just like christmas or any other holiday that requires poople to buy crap, used for comercialism and the economy... that depressing junk out of the way, Happy Valentines. Mine is a 19 year old girl named Sofia who resides in Slovakia, we're getting married in 4 years after we've each been granted our degrees. As for my plans which i carried out already of which entailed me writing her a poem and creating a pretty rad photo of us with all sorts of neat effects like a blazing yellow sun cascading between our faces as we kiss.

[Virgil]

Yes, many people think that, but marketing "scams" only work because people want to spend money on it. What's more important than spending a few dollars, or whatever you can afford, on showing the people you love how special they are?

[SleepyWitch]

over here it's exclusively commercial, imho, because it never was anything else. Valentine's day is not originally a German holiday and only got copied and pasted from U.S. culture a couple of years ago (just like Halloween).

how long has it been around in the US? what was it like before it got commercialized?
what about the UK? (hm, i'll go check in wiki coz one of you is gonna quote it at me anyway :) )

[kilted exile]

I'm far more interested in the Valentine's day massacre myself.....

[Petrarch's Love]

I'm far more interested in the Valentine's day massacre myself.....

:lol: Hey, good point, Kilted. I should have been eating at the pizza place across the street from the St. Valentine's day massacre last night. What's the point of living in Chicago if you don't get to properly celebrate mob killings on Valentine's Day?:p

[Niamh]

Its gone comercial over here but its accepted as it is. I think people used to celebrate St valentines day over here by visiting his relic in white friars church. I walked by it yesterday and didnt even realise he was in there! opps! suppose it would be a better way to celebrate his feast day!

[Serenata]

Alas, no valentine. But I love the history to this holdiay. Actually, I am posting the day after, but it is still my favorite holdiay because of the history.

One of my friends gave me a 1/2 pound chocolate bar. Yummy. I got roses today from another friend.

[jon1jt]

Valentine's Day is time to be extra-sweet. :) :) :)

[Lily Adams]

Aww, thank you, Miss Drame. You're always thinking of everyone during holidays. :)

Well I just went to school. But the highlight of my day was when I purchased Marie Antoinette on DVD. I was so happy! That movie is beautiful.

[Koa]

Yes, many people think that, but marketing "scams" only work because people want to spend money on it. What's more important than spending a few dollars, or whatever you can afford, on showing the people you love how special they are?

I disagree. Why should you do that when the calendar tells you so? I hate these fake celebrations that scream CONFORMISM. If I loved someone I wouldn't need the calendar to tell me to show it, and I know it's a very banal thing to say and I also know you (you Virgil or anyone else) will say that you show your love on any other day too and bla bla so why do it on this precise day as well? I don't let a calendar lead my life about celebrations. Especially when everybody else does so. Going out? Eek, all the world will be at restaurants, I wouldn't enjoy it. I'd go out the day before so that no sheep will be around. But human beings are sheep.
I celebrate what I want to when I want to. I'm not happier because the calendar tells me it's Christmas, I don't love anyone more because the calendar tells me so, nor I feel it's worth showing love because that day doesn't mean anything to me. Our anniversary, or a birthday might mean something because they are PERSONAL and remind me of something or someone and mean something to me.

That said, I managed to ignore it as happily as ever or even more. I went shopping and vaguely noticed hearts and related crap around. But it wasn't too hyped, so that you could ignore it if you wanted to. (even if the valentine cakes at the refectory shop did seem yummy).

Oh, btw, I was asked out :blush: By a guy I don't like and has already tried before but I explained him he wasn't my kind... he tried again, and in such a date I smelled the trick, so I refused. Haven't heard from him anymore. Oh well.

Koa, I think Jon said it best. It doesn't mean you don't show love on the other days of the year. But you know, I work, she works, we don't have children but many do, aging parent issues, house to clean, shopping, things that break down that need fixing. Life is complicated and it takes a special day to slow down and recognize something. We have mother's day here once a year. It doesn't mean I don't help or love my mother any less on the other days, but a day to set aside as honor is worthwhile.


I disagree. Why should you do that when the calendar tells you so? I hate these fake celebrations that scream CONFORMISM.
Hahaha. Listen, it's been a long while since I felt conformed. I guess that's something young people feel. I used to also, when i was your age, say I hated conformity. [Actually I used to tell people all the time that if you did the same thing every day you haven't lived a life, but only one day.] When you get to my age one doesn't do things out of conformity but because one wants to, whether it is common or not.

[Koa]

Perhaps, but why not decide that you and your wife's "valentine" is, I don't know, 5th April? And don't you have an anniversary? I'd suppose that would be the day to do the cheesy romantic things, because it has a meaning. It's so stupid, even more than christmas which at least used to be religious and maybe even still is for some people.

I just get all heated up because my bitterness gets fuel from this stupid thing and the horrifying sight that people still open threads about it and mention it and pay attention to it.

If I ever find someone, I wish he'll be alternative. That's why I'll never find anyone.

Well, we have our birthdays and our wedding anniversery. She probably would like I pick a day out of the blue like you say. Unfortunately I find that awkward. Men need a reason to be romantic.

You know I find that your attitude is more common than the other.

Oh sure you will. You just said that some guy had asked you out. I guess you didn't like him, but they'll be others.

Nah, this spontaniety thing sounds good to me, it's a ready made excuse for forgetting ;)

[GimmyDiamond]

Sure Valentine's Day, like every other 'special' occasion is a cash cow, but like Virgil said what's so bad about spending a few dollars that you WANT to spend or whatever you can afford to show someone you care about them??? I don't think his wife or anyone's for that matter is thinking, "Oh great, stupid flowers!!!" Or that anyone's gonna read one of those hurt your teeth super sweet cards and say, "Oh man, are you pathetic, you LOVE me??? Hahaha!!!" I mean it's absurd. On, the flip side, it's easy to hate on it, that people even pay any attention to it, especially those who go the whole 9 yards, red shirts and everything, but I only find it easy because I'm as single as they come. When I do find someone worth it, I'm sure I'll find Valentine's Day worth it, and love and look forward to the one day a year I CAN GET AWAY WITH BEING CHEESY AND ROMANTIC! Heck I'm not even romantic or remotely sweet but I can get what the big deal is, so Koa, here's to you being swept off your feet come next year and being thrilled about Valentine's Day . . . :D Happy (belated- can I say that?) Valentine's Day:)
(Oh, what Chicago massacre are you guys talking about??? I love true crime stories . . . )

[Virgil]

(Oh, what Chicago massacre are you guys talking about??? I love true crime stories . . . )

Thanks Gimmy. St Valentines Day Massacre is a famous gang killing in 1929 by Al Capone. You can read about it here: http://www.mysterynet.com/vdaymassacre/

[GimmyDiamond]

Not a problem Virgil :D About the massacre, used the link and as it turns out I think I've heard of it before . . . or seen it somewhere . . . have you by any chance ever been to Niagara Falls??? You wouldn't happen to know if it's one of the displays they have at Niagara Falls at the Criminals Hall of Fame Wax Museum??? They had some pretty awesome stuff there, but I can't remember if that was one of them . . . hmmm . . . it's a long shot asking I know . . . anybody . . . ??? Or maybe I saw it on A&E some time ago or some channel like that . . .
Hey Petrarch Chicago must be pretty awesome, yes? no? What did you do for Valentine's Day since you weren't eating pizza and celebrating mob killings? :D

Yes, I've been to Niagara. I posted some pictures of it in the thread where we post pictures that we've taken. I do remember that wax museum, but I didn't go in. We didn't have time and we were there for the falls.

[Jean-Baptiste]

I did absolutely nothing Valentine'sy the other day. I went out to breakfast with my sweety, but we do that nearly everyday. The trouble is that I gave her a Valentine's card (that I made out of construction paper, by the way) last year, and she was sort of disgruntled. Not disgruntled that it was made of construction paper--she actually got quite a kick out of the card itself--but because we had agreed to steer clear of "romance" (for the time being, although that's sort of behind us now.) So this year, I wanted to show her how dear she is to me by totally ignoring that day. What do you think? Did I do a good thing? It's okay, everyone else already passes me off as a complete ninny. :goof:

I guess the proof is in the pudding as they say. How it went with her is all that counts. If it went well great, but my hunch is you're a ninny. :lol:

[thevintagepiper]

My friend Michelle asked me to be her Valentine so now I have a Valentine :p

It was a joke, of course, but my friends are so fun! I love them all to death.

My daddy took us daughters out to Starbucks on Valentine's day which was fun! Any excuse for good coffee....

But I still never got a "real" valentine...but that's ok at my stage. As my friend Nathan says, "Why give people roses? They don't taste that good." Just kidding, I adore roses.

[Petrarch's Love]

Hey Petrarch Chicago must be pretty awesome, yes? no? What did you do for Valentine's Day since you weren't eating pizza and celebrating mob killings?

Hi GD--Chicago is indeed awesome, though more than a little cold and snowy just now. :cold: :) My Valentine's Day was not so hot, given that my mom underwent major surgery that day. I pretty much sat home and graded some late student papers and waited to hear if she'd made it through OK. I'm making up for it tonight, though, since I'm going to the department's winter ball in my formal best, and I even managed to get a date so I won't have to be a wallflower. :) Hope you did something more special and fun on V-Day. :)

Regarding Valentine's Day generally, I never understand why people talk about it as a made up day with no history. February 14th was, according to Catholic tradition, the martyrdom of St. Valentine and is the official saint's day for both saints of that name (there are a couple saints named Valentine: one a priest and one a bishop and both from around the 3rd century). St. Valentine (both saints by that name are pretty much interchangeable) has long been the patron saint of lovers (as well as epileptics), and the tradition of exchanging valentines apparently comes out of an old legend that St. Valentine exchanged letters with a woman he fell in love with while in prison. Both the saint and the day were very popular and widely celebrated at least as far back as the middle ages when it was apparently a pretty popular holiday. Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls, for example, is a celebration of Valentine's Day, which in the middle ages was supposed to be the day when the birds first return to nest (sounds a bit dubious from a scientific ornithological standpoint if you ask me, but that's what they thought). There are references to Valentine's Day in Shakespeare and elsewhere throughout the Renaissance and onward. Written valentines were exchanged as far back as the 15th century, and the 18th and 19th centuries were particularly devoted to the exchange of increasingly fancy valentines. It's probably the Victorians we have most to blame for the fancy greeting cards. Hallmark may have come along, used the holiday to their own commercial advantage, and pumped up the number of chatchkas associated with it (in the same way that marshmallow santas and reindeer lawn decorations have burgeoned in the 20th century) but the greeting card companies hardly invented the holiday. I frankly have never understood the deep resentment toward the whole thing. I've been single most Valentine's days and I usually read a little Chaucer and like to think that people are doing nice loving things for each other. What's the harm? Ah well, there were probably single people in the middle ages complaining that St. Valentine's day was being given unfair advantage and detracting from the celebration of painful martyrdom on St. Sebastian's day. :lol:

[jon1jt]

valentine's day should be celebrated three times a year: once in february, june, and november. keeps couples on their toes, and extra-kissy is nice too. :) :) :)

[GimmyDiamond]

Well, Petrarch Winnipeg (Winter'peg) has it's fair share of cold weather too! It can be a nice sunny, clear minus 15 day . . . then it can get to minus 40 with the wind gusting up to 50 and 60km . . . but I love it!
When I read all that info on Valentine's it made me feel sooo lazy :) I've never even checked it out myself . . . I'm surprised at my lack of curiosity!!!
Hope your mom is doing okay . . . my mom has had some close calls too . . . not on holidays . . . but anyways . . . that's so awesome about the ball and the formal attire and everything . . . and hey super awesome because you won't be inspecting the wall the whole time . . . :D That's about all I do when I'm at anything like that . . . or I inspect the table cloth pattern!!! :lol:
As for my valentines day . . . well in the wee morning hours I got into a major fight with the one person I wanted to ask me to be their valentine . . . the one person who could've made ANY day valentines day if they asked me to be theirs (I KNOW, SUPER CORNY, BUT TRUE . . .) :bawling:
But someone inadvertantly 'saved' me from a night alone . . . it was their birthday and they invited me to share their evening with some other ladies (and my mom) from my church (one of whom is actually recently widowed at only 50 or so :( , so I was really happy for the opportunity to cheer her up) We went to dinner at our church's cafe then rented the Devil Wears Prada which I actually didn't end up completely hating (heard it was horrible) Not a fan of Anne Hathaway but Meryl Streep is wicked awesome as usual . . . I'm rambling . . . :D Hope tonight is super killer wicked awesome :)

My boyfriend Anthony is of to Cork to work on an amx system so i have a date with my ego, some popcorn and a soppy chick flick or most haunted.

Happy Valentines day everybody!xxx
I think I'd take MH over a chick flick any day! :)

Well, as I have nobody, I think I will just go about my daily routine. :) I actually have planned on it being a day of reading.

If I had someone, yes, I would expect something from him. Not anything big. I don't want flowers. They die. I don't want jewelry because he may not get what I like and I would have to wear it out of obligation. All I ever ask for is a card. I am more than happy to accept a cheesy heart box of candy. One can never go wrong with chocolate! ;) But I was with someone for awhile and I always had to say "What are you getting me for Valentine's?". You see, if everyone else is getting something, I want something, too. Besides, this person was never one to go out of his way, affection wise, on a normal day. So, you'd think he'd take advantage of this one day to "kiss up" to me! Anyway, all I ever asked for was a card, and maybe he would remember to get it before he came to see me! It takes someone like that to make me think that maybe I am much happier being alone.

As for it being commercial, that doesn't bother me too much. Christmas bothers me much more. The whole money, money, money aspect of Christmas is horrid (if you've worked in retail any length of time, you know exactly what I am talking about! - that made me far more aware of how greedy people were - I honestly can't be that way). Besides, I don't think it was ever meant to be a money-making day. No, that honor goes to Sweetest Day. That is a day that I never wanted receive anything on! It is truly a day for Hallmark! Another time that it was horrible working in retail! It is just ridiculous! I can't get over how crazy people go over that day!

Anyway...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, FOLKS!!! :D

[Bakiryu]

I plan to ignore this day. I've already done pretty good at forgetting it's existence. ah, commercialism and capitalism, and fake expectations. how sweet.

Lady Went, I posted that last year. Well, my wife is still my Valentine and my mother still deserves another kiss. :) But no play this year.

[Shalot]

Last year, my husband and I decided not to do Valentine's day last year and then he went and got me an Aveda gift certificate and I didn't get him anything. I would have felt bad, but he sort of forgot that we were going to get each other small things for Christmas. I don't know - I guess we've been together too long to do all that Valentine's day crap. This year we are on the same page at least. We didn't do anything. But I think we're going to do it this weekend. But I don't know. I don't really care. The whole idea of Valentine's day irritates me. We love each other no matter what day of the year it is and that is that.

I'll accept your review. I had two chances to see. A smaller production and the regular full-scale show. I had a lack of money at the time. Maybe someday I will get a chance to see it. There are other shows that are more important at the moment that I must see first, though. :)

Was too busy on Valentine's Day to post this ;)

In Finland Valentine's Day is called "ystävänpäivä", "friend's day". This year I didn't see any of my friends on February 14th and didn't get a single hug :(

Maybe next year's Valentine's Day will be better...

I didn't receive anything either :( *sniffle*
I'm sure I will cope.

Personally, I have never really taken any interest in this holiday whatsoever...
Every year I see people receiving small gifts and cards as romantic gestures for this one day.
In all honestly I believe it's one huge comercial farce where sales in card shops are boosted...
What are your thoughts on this?


Now then, it is all well and good to say you disaprove of valentine's day - but how many women could honestly say if they were in a relationship and their guy completely ignored Valentines day, made no mention of it no flowers, no card, no chocolates, no gift, no dinner would not be upset/annoyed/angry?


Me :)

Hmmm...

Hmmm...

:blush: Ahem.
Well... firstly, looking back at Kilted's quote, who ever said I was "in a relationship" anyway? Hm?
Regardless, I don't see Valentine's day as a big deal, in fact I find it rather pointless. My last post was admittedly contradictory of this but lets put that down to "being bored and posting random posts to random threads."
However, I must admit it would have been a pleasant surprise to receive something.
You should take a look at your old signature quote Dori ;)

I take a look at my old sig and see a man proudly saying that he contradicts himself, rather than making up excuses such as "being bored and posting random posts to random threads." A better excuse would have been (I always use this):


The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.

Well thank you Dori, for that excellent piece of advice :p
I shall bear that in mind, in the future.
I thought my excuse was rather sufficient... remember what I said to you about avoiding bordem at all costs? Hmm? :D

The Games subforum would be the proper place to mitigate one's boredom. :p
