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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

I LOVE Valentine's Day, even though I never have a valentine. I am so looking forward to handing out my Hello Kitty themed valentine's day bags on candy tomorrow!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Now *that* is what it's supposed to be all about.Yep.
Beej's New Fella sounds a lovely boy.
I have nofuture plans for dinner either tonight or tomorrow. I suppose the social construct won't really matter either way. Having days that mean something beyond the day is lovely but it isn't a mandate.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think he shot a man in Texas, just to watch him die.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey ita, email seems to have forsaken me.
Do you have any time to talk tonight? I need to expand your essay, and wanted your thoughts.

It usually involves making a mess and calling me to fix it. Romantic.
solution: Honey, you know what's romantic? Take out.
I've had an SO on VDay exactly once. He was very anti, but I was into it. It so happens that he was out of town, he sent me a card that said "I hate Valentine's Day, but I know that if I didn't do anything you'd be mad" which is true. And it seems like kind of an asshole thing to do, but since he often would show up with flowers for no particular reason, I couldn't get but so salty.
