It used to be you gave Valentine's to people you liked.
Well, Fathers' Day came about to balance out Mothers' Day, right? I'm just waiting for Singleton/Yay!Me Day. (Where the appropriate gift to give comes from Blowfish.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I suspect it's the one Plei was referring to
That's the one.
I found it again after I'd posted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never gotten a romantic Valentine's anything, but I am in possession of some sweet platonic ones. I think the day used to irritate me, but now I barely notice it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Crap. I just realized that I forgot to send out my Lincoln's Birthday cards.
Oh well. I'll just have to be sure to not forget to send the Shark Week cards....

If I only had a brain...
Not to mention the Tax Day cards.

I like Valentine's Day just fine. I've had numerous excellent ones (including the one where I lost my virginity - which may account for my fondness). And even the worst one, turned out okay in the end. (Reader, I married her.)

Another vote for Sexy Singleton's Day... I lost it New Years....actually Auld Lang Syne still...no, I can't go ahead with that. You'll believe me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
amych, that is just insane. (1) When exactly was the vote that determined it was men's sole responsibility to plan Valentine's Day festivities? I missed it. (2) Are people who aren't specifically celebrating Valentine's Day early supposed to avoid eating out for the entire weekend beforehand? Perhaps they should remain indoors with windows shuttered so as to avoid spoiling the mood of the holiday week?
