I've never really cared.
It's two days after my birthday, so I've still been in the process of unwrapping gifts when it rolls around, and since I don't date, it's never really been a holiday I've cared about anyway.
Like helping my friends buy gifts for their significant others though, that's lots of fun.
"What says I love you?"
"This year? Dante's Inferno."

I think that Valentine's day is just a holiday that was created solely for the purpose of selling things.

Tis a load of bollox in my opinion. A sweet fabrication, great for couples, but it puts an undue amount of pressure on those who do not have someone to celebrate it with or who wish they did.

Me and my boyfriend got into an argument about it, I think it's lost all meaning but he thinks we should celebrate it because it's a day we show our love for him.
I always show my love for him! I won't love him any more or less on Sunday.
Meh. I think I'll get him a Stig money bank, it'll keep him quiet =P

For me, its just another day... albeit one that's more depressing than usual because this is the day that the rate of public displays of affection skyrocket.

Valentines day is just a scam by the people who sell candies and flowers.

I don't know how I feel about Valentine's Day. Every year I say that I'm not going to bother, I always try something, anyway, whether I'm single or not. My boyfriend and I had been talking about it a couple weeks ago, and it had been said that neither of us really cared. Part of me thinks we were both just afraid of giving the wrong answer. Anyway, we made some simple plans for the day: rent a couple movies, get a good bottle of rum, enjoy ourselves. I'd secretly added fondue and baking a lemon pie to that list (his favourite). I will admit, however, that I was slightly crushed when he informed me today that he works early on Monday morning (5:30). As much as I wanted to keep it small and not get excited/my hopes up, I did anyway, as I do every year. Part of me is wondering whether or not it's because I've never really been shown what it means to celebrate Valentine's Day properly, as I either haven't been in a relationship, or I was and it was on the rocks/my boyfriend was a loser/something came up, like work.

There are so many people who seem completely bent on making a big deal out of being "anti-Valentine's Day", and it's getting to be pretty annoying. I get it. You don't like it. Fine. My brother is an example of that--him and his girlfriend (who's probably secretly pissed and heartbroken that she's getting nothing) aren't doing anything, and they're making it very clear that they aren't, and that they don't care.

Woo! Way to be original, little brother. Also, the people who point out that there shouldn't have to be a particular day set aside for people to express love and whatnot are missing the point: people don't do it on a regular basis anymore. Whether they just suck at being in a relationship, or they're too damn busy, this is a second chance for all the deadbeats in the world to show that they still care, even if only in their spare time, on a designated day.

It's just a day. Whether you choose to partake in celebration or not, it's going to happen, people are going to make a big deal out of it, and you get the satisfaction of knowing that you got to be a miserable troll for the day, whether or get your point across or not [Note: not YOU the poster, but YOU the general, miserable public].

I usually hate Valentines day to the point that if I'm with a girl who makes a fuss on valentines day I dump them (i'm not kidding), why should a day be more important than the relationship in general.

But this year I've found the one, I'll be making a romantic candlelit dinner for my one true love...



My bets are that Sexual Harassment Panda will be proposing to Max Payne 2 as well.

Valentines day PWNS, to me it's better to celebrate love and cupid and all of that (even is it a hallmarkian child of capitalis exploitative celebration), than to celebrate war, depression and Xanax. In Fact this valentines day I'm not gonna take my meds!
All you need is love...

It's not a holiday I despise, but it's also not one I particularly welcome. Gifts are always nice though.

Valen-what?

I don't even know when it is going to fall this year.

I suppose I could answer that I greet it with a broad sense of indifference.

I care about it as much as I care about New Year's Eve.

Like any other day of the year.

Hmm I have never really taken any notice of it, I don't watch TV and I don't go outside.

So I guess I have no real opinion on it, I don't notice it and it doesn't notice me.
