I definately think that people should celebrate special days in their relationships, but ones that are special to them for a unique reason, not because someone else said that day was special. To celebrate it (and the long weekend) I'm going camping with a bunch of my roommates and friends (many of whom are ditching their girlfriends-not very happy about it-for it, and a girl who's ditching her boyfriend-who's thrilled about it) for the weekend. And just a nice little sign of how feel about the day...we'll be spending it in Death Valley. Take that, sappy Hallmark cards! : )
Originally Posted By MissCandice Yeah, to me it's a Hallmark holiday. I am happily single, so I don't begrudge anyone their schmoopy luv time but like others have said: it should be celebrated year round, not just on 2-14.

So...tomorrow will be at home-cooked steak dinner and some movies at home with our ailing DD16. Funny. I got her and DH presents (modest, yet thoughtful) from disneyshopping.com for V-Day. I dunno. Life's so short....every day can be V-Day. Don't need a significant other, even. Just give a smile to someone. *sigh* Gee, I'm getting old.....I've got to stop the mushiness. Sorry to mess with your groove here, guys. Carry on. xoxo (STiL love y'all anyway. Can't stop me! " )

Originally Posted By WorldDisney LOL, thanks for including me Deb . Yeah, I this is the 4th straight year I had to live through this holiday alone. I was HOPING to have someone this year, but didnt quite work out. But this holiday seems to make single people feel worse about themselves then better. Is already V day here in Australia and I'm actually watching a show here about single people trying to meet others. Pretty damn depressing lol. Oh well, 6 more hours to go and in about 4 hours I plan to be veeeery drunk lol.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Oh and not to begrudge anyone whose into it either, dont get me wrong!! Yeah, V day has always been waaaay too commerical (and I use to live in Korea where, believe it or not, they had a romantic theme for EVERY freaking 14th of the month all year, sigh.) and its just so in-you-face you cant avoid it. At least being single on this day means you save some cash in these troubled times .
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Where do you live dshyates? Its funny, I'm not gay, but I lived in some of the gay friendliest cities in the world (not counting Korea lol). Currently living in Sydney Australia, one of the most open in the world. If you lived here, your odds would be better, but who am I kidding, I cant even find any straight girls here lol.
