Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am bothered by the huge plethora of couplecentric promotions, meals, and activities that surround the holiday.

Even in a couple, I'm bothered by all that crap. We've never done anything for Vday, but on Saturday, we decided to go out instead of having to cook after running a tournament all day... so we got to the restaurant in our grubby clothes, got told there was a 3-hour wait for a table (which we should've thought of), and then to make it a perfect moment, the hostess sort of pulled me aside and said, "you know, hon, he really should've done a better job of planning." Umm, hello? Entire universe not about stupid couple-behavior guilt?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(a) HMOG. (b) Feb 12 != Valentine's Day, anyway. (c) HMOG.

Fainting couches for everyone!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

then to make it a perfect moment, the hostess sort of pulled me aside and said, "you know, hon, he really should've done a better job of planning."

Oh for the love of god.

I'll take one of those chaise longues.

I've only once been actually dating someone on Valentine's, and in that case it had only been about a month and we each already had other plans for the evening.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Also, the song mentions that "a hundred cops are dead." The St. Valentines' Day Massacre was a hit against rival gang members.

After Googling

Huh. And it was only about 9 people. Years ago my sister told me that the song was about the St. V Day Massacre. But the song even mentions that it's Summer, so not much with February 14 and all (especially in Chicago).

Oh well, earwormed by association.

Sadly, my googling also brought out the fact that Paper Lace also did " Billy Don't be a Hero " which has now replaced TNCD with its insidiousness.

White-fonted for your earworm protection.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I had this post, but now I'm just looking out of the corner of my eye at Dana, all worried.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've had one date on Valentine's Day. It was our first date (pressure much?) and our last.

I've since renamed Valentine's Day "Tank Girl and Scotch" day in my personal calendar.
