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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Word. And also Excel, but mostly Word, because I have bent Excel to my will, but Word continues to defy me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My windshield has three separate chips -- two with large cracks, one small chip. I can't buy a new windshield until I can no longer see through this one. I'm a chip magnet.

Dana may need a bit more than a couch, it seems. [Edit: Dana, I fought Word today, too! I was determined in showing that humans will beat the golem, and eventually the universe agreed that I suffered enough. I hope your victory will be both easier and sweeter]
There is a sort-of Jewish "love/couples" day (I bet it became more prominent the more people here heard about what's going on in the USA during Valentine's Day), but I think it's still not being made into such a big deal as some of the things that you describe (then again, we are always a few years behind the USA, so give us some time). I don't know enough about both cultures to determine which is more "wedding oriented", though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Frankenbuddha is knocking my favorite Paper Lace song. However, I think I will take the song's advice and keep my head low....

Sorry to hear about the windshield, Matt. That the kind of chip that won't pass inspection?
In and of itself it might, but my previous cracked windshield that I had to replace started as a chip that I had to leave unattended in an airport garage with time to spread. I'm not taking chances this time around.

I fought the Word and the Word won.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
