for some reason i imagine derek sneaking girls throgh the window after his parents have gone to sleep.
i wonder what condom sales look like round this time of year. i wonder if its bigger than any other time of year.
the whole idea of the holiday is like ? to me. i don't know why... but it seems like much more fun to watch people being typical all night than going throught he motions of doing it yourself.
although i did buy something cool thats vdayish. at an art store i stopped by this weekend, i saw these things that look like tickets police write you. you can write people vday tickets. some are funny and some are nice. i just want to be able to say "you just got served" today.

Me and my wife don't do Valentine's day. Mainly because we're not Catholic and its a Catholic holiday.
The amount of people that jump on bandwagon's always flabberghasts me.

Well, yeah Easter and Christmas are out. I mean come on... most of the holiday's people celebrate are "Christianized" version's of old holiday's the pagan's would celebrate, with a twist by the Catholics.
I don't really believe in the Roman God Lupercus, so yeah... no VDay for me!

My friends and I used to call it SINGLE AWARENESS DAY. We'd go get drunk and whine to each other about being single.
Now we have this 'friends with benefits' thing going about.
I'm married...roses and a pajamagram for my wife...and I get a car detailing...which would be like taking a pig to get a pedicure.

I'm not lonely. I see my family all the time. Even extended family (well, except for those in Albequerque and whoever is still floating around in El Salvador).
But I'll never feel obligated like most people do around Christmas.

i'm no anti vday.
i don't let hallmark rule my life.
with that having been said, my friend will be making me dinner tonight, then we're going out for drinks. and i thank hallmark for making a day like vday otherwise my friend wouldn't be cooking for me.

i'm with grafholik, to me vday is quite lame.
if others want to go on dates and send/receive flowers however, then that's lovely. obligatory, contrived gifts are just not up my alley.

I have a girlfriend and I'm not doing anything for it :-) Hate it, and so does she.
Do you really feel special and unique on Valentines when you show up to whatever it is you do and everyone else is there for the same reason?
Obligatory love?

in a way, i think valentine's day has its purpose. what i hate is how corporations manipulate consumers and we feel we must spend money w/out really realizing why we spend money.
it's like buying christmas gifts for those people we don't give shit about, and that's not cool.like birthday, i feel vday is a special day when we should just stop and appreciate those we love (not just bf/gf, but family members/friends/pets). i'm just not for "i'll buy you gifts and take you out for dinner because you're going to whine if i don't".
therefore, i'm going to spend today with a friend that i love dearly - just like how i spend it any other major holidays, and hopefully every day of my life.
