What do you use in place of the green olive in a chocolate martini? Chocolate kiss wouldn't go with the "theme" very well. Maybe one of those Rocher things? I'm sure I brutalized the spelling, don't happen to have an empty wrapper to look at...

Heh. Makes me glad I'm a hermit and just don't care what day it is. I like being single - and if I want flowers or candy, well, I'll go buy them, then.  It sucks how there can be pressure to do or be something for certain days, though. Like you can slack off the rest of the time as long as you pony up for this one day. Bah, I say!  |

V-Day is annoying if you're coupled, too. Everyone is asking me what my plans for tonight are and then look at me all sympathetically when I say "Watch American Idol." I don't need pity because my boyfriend works 12 hours a day. It's the groups singing in Hollywood! Even if he was home, I'd be in front of the television with a box of Tagalongs and a glass of milk. Hey Brynne, if it makes you feel better...  |

If I promise to bring the Godiva liqueur, may I join...mmm white chocolate booze in hot cocoa...bring your own marshmellows.
I'll celebrate Valentine's Day when neither women nor men are brutalized by their partners. Until then, let's celebrate amity -- the love of friendship.
Happy VDay, everyone!

Well said, ElfPuddle! For those who like that sort of thing (naked and male), I drew a pin-up of one of my (written) characters for V-Day. Linky button is in my signature or my profile if you have sigs turned off. It's slightly more tangible than e-chocolate and booze.  |

UNhappy Valentine's Day, all?
(Though personally I can't see how any holiday inextricably linked with chocolate can be all bad...wait, that's all of them now, isn't it?)

Come on people - I've never heard such griping! Surely someone besides me has happy Valentines Day memories? Just like Christmas, it's a commercial money-making exercise, but even so, once in a while you can have a fantastic Valentines Day. Dinner, alcohol, chocolate, great sex. It's out there...and yes you can have that any day of the week, but the idea is just once a year, you can make a public fuss about it. I know that when you are in a relationship, the pressure to do something for someone you're not really 'feeling' right now can make the Day seem like a long chore instead of fun. The best Valentines I've had have been early on in relationships, when everything's still fresh and new. The worst have been in longterm relationships where I could cheerfully have said - Just. Don't. - to any and everything, as in "No I don't want a poxy card" "And don't call me because I'm working late." and the classic "Is this the best you can do?" I guess it's true what they say, familiarity does breed contempt! |

meh, I am pretty much indifferent to it myself, I just don't like that it makes otherwise happy and well-loved people feel less so because someone neglected to buy them something on Feb. 14.
We do the present buying and overly-nice thing to each other if and when the mood strikes us regardless of occasion, having an official holiday tell us to do so makes us less inclined. If we do exchange gifts, there is a rule that it must be something we don't expect others to be getting, usually something chore-related or downright gross, (but funny of course) whatever will be most shocking to the people who ask us what we got the next day.
I like to get chocolate, presents or flowers 'just because' not out of a feeling of obligation.

I just realised I've missed V-Day and I didn't even notice hehehe - it's 8am on 15th for me. I did get a present this year although I didn't think about it at the time - my cat Theo brought in a dead grasshopper for me. So you can keep your flowers, chockies 'n stuff 'cause my little boy protected my honour against a villainous insect and brought me the proof of its demise.  Happy belated Massacre Day. |

Can I join yall? Honestly. Seriously. I think I may vomit if I have to look at one more bouquet.
I HATE V-DAY! Man oh man. All of you need to learn how to make a holiday work for you. Don't depend on someone else to do it. I had a great Valentine's Day. Went shopping and bought clothes (for me). Had lunch with hubby and enjoyed steak and shrimp. Dropped by a shoe store after lunch and bought shoes (for me). Told husband I had a great day. He didn't do anything in the way of gifts, etc. Took care of it myself. Just think of yourself on holidays. Works great. Husband feels good too, he had a great lunch. And for JM I would say this; I have been to the building in Chicago/Cicero where the Valentine's Day Massacre took place. Walls in the building are brick and the massive amounts of bullet holes in the wall impressed the hell out of me. They call the place Tommy Gunn's. Fun place though, you would like it. |

For shame, raining on JM's favorite day like that. That's why he prefers good old Al's re-invention of Valentine's Day. Nothing says love like a bouquet of hot lead with a spray of bullets. A real heart stopper.

Happy Massacre Day! V-Day? Meh... Never been too big on it. Probably because I've been single for a decade and a half (read: my whole life). I did finally get a present today, though (along with half the girls in my highschool xD). But I did have a good time choosing my clothes today. Most people were wearing red, I wore black. |

I think you guys are over-reacting. The holiday is not such a big deal. I always feel that if you are not in a relationship, you are exempt- except from chocolates and teddybears. My mom sent me something, I am content.
Plus, I made a ton of money doing overtime work at a local florist. Why not support small businesses?

Valentine's Day - lol. Hubby asked me what I wanted and I told him take out the trash. End of holiday. Now he is playing WoW and I am Simmin'. What more could a girl ask for than a quiet hubby, McDonalds for the kids and the trash at the curb? Now St. Patrick's Day - THAT is another story cause it is my birthday |

I'd have to agree with Pescado on this, because -Surprize!- something terrible happened today (well this morning, without me knowing until I got home)... my rabbit can't move his back legs, and if he doesn't get better, we'll have to put him to sleep.
HAPPY FRICKEN' MASSACRE DAY!
