Not that i'm against february holiday - the month needs more of them, especially ones involving chocolate. Just not with the tormented St., pls.
Rename it Cupid's Day? And put up lots of posters of Jeremy Piven, of course.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Hrm, i like the poster idea, but not the idealizing an underdeveloped boy wearing diapers and shooting innocent passerbys. Even with arrows.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Piven's Cupid would agree. He hated the cartooning of his... job.

Fuck, I AM 32! When did I turn 32? SHIT, I got old and didn't realize it? That means I'll be 33 this year?? CRAP
I had much the same reaction to 31 last year. I expect this year to be even more WTF-worthy.
Ah, youth.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Great. I just tried to watch TV, and I've got no cable signal.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Make your own holiday. EVERY day can be "Because I Want Chocolate And Don't Want To Kowtow To Anyone Else's Idea Of What A Holiday Is And By The Way All The Holiday Symbols Are ASS And Did I Mention I Want Chocolate?" Day.
Hard to fit on a calendar, though. So, rock on. Go get yourself some chocolate today.
I *do* think a company trying to enforce their employee's participation in an holiday that is putatively about romance is a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen, but hey, live dangerously.
Other than that, I got no quarrel with V-Day. I like it. Underdeveloped boy wearing a diaper and shooting people, tortured saint, and all.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
The Other One has persuaded me to watch the rugby with her (by which I mean, I'm playing with social networking while she talks rubbish to which I do not respond). Ireland is losing to France. This is apparently a Bad Thing.
Examples of her wittering at the telly:
"They're fifteen behind. They're not coming back from that."
"O'Gara looks quite a lot like Prince William. No. Harry. No. William. No. I know which one I mean."
"Kick it. Kick it. Kick it. Kick it. Kick it. KILL HIM."
OK then.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I was watching that on BBCAmerica a little while ago!

Always Anti-fascist!
Cupid's Day, FTW. It's also much nastier, and more Buffista-friendly.(What is about Piven, that he can say things that either border on, or nowadays are, completely nasty and offensive, and it's so lovable?) This is going to sound unFriendly because I'm touched by the response, but please nobody else Friend me on Facebook till I figure out how it'll let me on. Thanks.(it's like terrorism...freedom vs. security...David Simon should write a miniseries.) Happy Cupid's Day, y'all.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Make your own holiday
Un-Birthdays are great. And there are so many of them!
