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.
Sometimes there is those that rub it in when V-day is around especially when their siginificant other goes full out. I can think of one friend right now who will most likely go on about their wonderful/beautiful/gorgeous fiance and what he has bought her or what they did.

As for me maybe I'm just embarrassed when it cames to romantic things. Though I think my boyfriend is getting serious. For my birthday he spoilt me.

So I'm wondering what he has planned for tomorrow. I heard we are going to a resturant which has excellent woodfired pizza and he was organising another spa day. So will see.

Uh but getting back on topic, I hate rubbing in what I get or what has happened as I think that is a private thing between my boyfriend and I and not for the world to share. Good example sexy lingere pics that my cousin got for her husband she shared them on Facebook. Yuck.

Mare I agree it too should be Happy Singles Day biggrin Self love is more important then being in a relationship ;)
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.
Believe it or not, I was just about to start a thread about this very thing! I could waffle on for ages about why I hate it, but all you who hate it too probably think the same as me. Any of my already disgustingly braggy mates who post more than they usually do are going to be permanently status-hidden on Facefudge and resolutely ignored.






I wish all of them would end up with their own appendages stapled to their faces with a bag of spanners shoved up their bums. It is at the point where I hate it so much that if any miracle actually did occur and somebody liked me enough to give me a Valentine, I would end up throwing it back in his face screaming and crying about how he didn't know me at all

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.
You're not dumb, you're sane. It's a piece of shit holiday.

Is it ironic that Valentines Day and venereal disease have the same initials?

I'm getting a spanking and chocolates for Valentines Day.

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'.

+1 on all counts of this post. It will always be a black-hole on my calendar.

You're smooth!

I thought Tetsuya's was a 3 Star restaurant, however you're right, even that didn't make the cut.

The last time I went there I was disappointed actually. Around $500 for the 2 of us, and there were so many waiters milling around, you couldn't relax. Luckily the expense account picked up the tab. It was better when it was in Rozelle, before he became a worldwide phenomenon.
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
When I have to listen to the droning of the office chatter go on and on about what they are doing this particular VD (I do like that, hehehe!!) I simply shrug my shoulders whenever anyone is stupid enough to try to engage me in promoting yet another Hallmark holiday and retort by saying something like:

"If you're happy being told once a year that you are loved then good for you. I, on the other hand, do not like to be told when to tell my loved one she is loved and prefer to show my other half that she is loved EVERY day!"


If they do not get that hint, then I have some rather juicy, expletive filled anecdotes to show them just where to stick their overpriced candies and cards.
"Whoa, lady, I only speak two languages, English and bad English." - Korben Dallas, from The Fifth Element

"If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience?" - George Bernard Shaw
I think when someone is in a relationship, they can't help but be absolutely ecstatic that they aren't single. Personally, I am alright with Valentine's Day, but I hate it when people get in my face about it. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being single! smile

Just more freedom to enjoy.
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.

When I was in second grade everyone had to give one to each student so no one was left out. You could write on them if you wanted. You know, for your true love/loves!


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Veni, vidi, vici" Julius Caesar 47 BC
Blimey you're all a miserable bunch! It dates back to the early Christian martyrs, and is a celebration of romantic love.

Oh, hang on, let me check if there's some truth behind all this negativity...opps, even Wikipedia agrees the commercialisation of it stinks...

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is a holiday observed on February 14 honoring one or more early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. It was first established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD.

Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards, netting Hallmark millions of dollars in the process.


Oh well, I'm going out for dinner tonight regardless, I like breaking up the week so I don't have to cook, one way or another
