BF is going to Atlanta to cover some automotive event tomorrow, so I'll be hanging around with the dogs and watching TV on V-Day. We don't have an anniversary (due to the ENDLESS start-and-stop nature of the beginning of our relationship), so V-Day is our official "day," and I should be bummed, but I am kinda looking forward to lazing around in my jammies and watching various chick flicks I have Netflixed.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Compassionately intolerant
I made a big anti-Vday speech to the new Fella early on...sensing there might be some pressure to preform even though we are so new (and v.v. happy, by the by). When I finally exhaled from my screed about being a florist and seeing the dark, destructive underbelly of the corporate holiday, Fella paused and said,"Um. Okay. Heard all that. And I already made plans to take that night off."
Me: K. This'll be fun! t /schizo

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
bon bon and bob bob had their first date on V-Day. I was all no! Delay! Delay! Stress!
Which goes to show, I know little.
An ex told me he loved me on Valentine's Day once. I also remember my chiro being pointedly sweet. Other than that, nothing. I don't have an anti-V screed. Just an "Oh, that's how the other half live."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
our official "day,"
I keep trying to tell DH that it is nice haveing an official day to celebrate, but it is more important that we appreciate each other when we are together , than worring about a day. He is away this year for V-day, and our anniversary didn't get much attention, but I figure that just makes our eventual chosen time of celbration better.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
This year I got chocolate, so I'm good with Valentine's day.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've only ever had one really romantic Valentine's, a few that "sucked beyond the telling" and mostly it's a day, only. Still bracing for February bad luck, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My grandfather died on Valentine's day when I a little girl. Kinda put a damper on the holiday for a decade or so. But now I think of it as a day to make others smile.

Like most holidays for me, V-day is an excuse to cook a more-elaborate-than-usual dinner. (Unless (1) DH surprises me with something, in which case it's an excuse to go out or (2) I decide I'm too tired, in which case it's an excuse to order takeout. I'm easy that way.)

Vday has always been uneventful or sad-making for me. So far, there's no real plans this year, but I don't think it will be sad-making.
Also, I'm in the camp that Cheney shot a guy just to see if he could get away with it.
