How come people won't be quiet about Valentine's Day? and how can i just get the people around me to stop talking about what they will be doing on Valentine's Day?
It's to rub it in the faces of single people, that they have a love in their life, or at least someone to go out with on Valentine's Day.
I'm being taken out to a 3 michelin star restaurant in the Sydney CBD, and then to a suite at the W Hotel for some cocktails and more...
(I wish!)
if it helps, i'm in a relationship and i hate VD (Valentine's day). it has some really ugly memories attached to it. Not only will i not be talking about it, but i'll be actively bitter and curl my nose up in disgust about the whole affair. in fact, please don't bombard me with VD notes or spam my wall about it or even remind me about it on tuesday, cause you're likely to get a response you're not expecting.
Oh, and i'm serious. this little rant is not just for amusement, i f'ing hate Feb 14th.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
It's a horrible day and I'm in relationships. It's should be "happy single awareness day". I say "love me everyday not just one day a year". I fn hate the 14th as well Sprite.
I hate VD too. Do you really need an excuse to shower your SO with gifts and love?? Its just another day...I'd probably have a different opinion if I owned a florist.
I'm stuck in classes all day tomorrow and there is this group that has all 3 classes with me. Three weeks ago they started talking about it, and I was irritated. Then the week after, one of them turned around and said why do people keep talking about Valentine's Day. Now In class I'm very quiet, but I really was going to say well why were you guys talking about it last week.
I'm probably a bit annoyed only because Valentine's Day this year was suppose to be when the person I was dating was suppose to moving closer, but stuff happened and everything fell apart. But it could also be because it would have been my real first date ever.
But I really do hate hearing about it. Always have for the past 3 years.
I hide whenever VD is near. I've been embarrassed too much in the past. Plus I agree with some of the comments I was reading on an article about V-day, if your relationship really matters then both of you should be telling each other how much they love you everyday, not just on the day that they're told to love you.
V-day is just a stupid waste of money and time. If you love someone then you shouldn't really need this stupid day to tell them, if you do then you really need to consider the state of your relationship.
Nuff said. I would lock myself in my room tomorrow but I have classes sadly. I hope the ones who routinely ask me out keep their hands to themselves this year.
Nicola, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm quite sure Sydney doesn't have a 3 star Michelin restaurant? He needs to fly you to Hong Kong so he can take you to 8 1/2 (which is 3 Star)!! Then you can stay at the Peninsula and you can have brunch with a helicopter ride over the Hong Kong harbor from the hotel's heliport.
I've never been that keen on Valentine's Day...single or not. It's commercialised nonsense.
That aside, I've always seen Valentine's Day as a day for people to confess their love/interest for another..... that big '?' in a card.
Anyway, the boy and I have settled on drinking just a little bit too much, eating just a little bit too much chocolate and having just the right amount of sex for our 'VD'.
Damn... I'm glad I read this before sending a happy VD to all my lady friends. Mrs P and I never celebrated it, chosing instead to celebrate Groundhog's Day in protest to Hallmark. I seriously thought we we're the only ones that felt that way. Just another thing to make feel like I belong here.
I Personally Fucking Hate Valentines day..... It's Like it was Made so that people in relationships could rub it in the single people's Face If You Truly Love Someone you wouldn't only Wait for Valentines you would show that person you love them everyday And Not Just on Valentines
Good one Knight.
I think it's for the kids more than adults at times. I remember having the little cards that everyone got in class and the little candies with cute sayings on them. Teenagers and teddy bears, sparkly cards and boxes shaped like a heart. Cute but not for me.
The big V Day is so juvenile and childish. I left the little card exchange thing back in the 5th grade. The day also reminds me of past loves and my subsequent fuckups - I'm trying to forget Dammit!!!.
The card companies could come up with a "Single and Lonely Day" or a "Single, Happy and Moving On Day". I'd send myself a card or two.
This reminds me of in highschool where people could buy a rose to give to the S.O to raise money for school.
There were a lot of girls who bought roses for themselves so they didn't feel left out.
Luckily I was to cynical enough to buy myself a rose.
