Everyone seems to hate Valentine's day. I say we protest it and make Hallmark take it all back.

The coupled people seem to like it. I don't be begrudge them their day.

I wish they'd just be more closeted about it and enjoy their chocolate in private.

Hardly anyone has found their soulmate. They only come along very rarely -- some think they've found him or her, but in ten years, or one, or a few months' or weeks' time, when they split up, they'll have realised that they weren't soulmates.

Haha. Schadenfreude is the only true joy.

And don't go out and pretend you're having fun, just stay home and delve in your bitterness -- or watch a movie. Not on TV, it'll only be romantic stuff; watch something brutal and violent or something really sad (gives you an excuse to cry!) or something otherwise unromantic.

Schadenfreude is the only true joy.

I think you're my soulmate!!!

Yep Vday is the fakest holiday, secretly i laugh at everyone buying there love ones rings and chocolates and red roses and being all like "I LOVE YOU" or "Wanna get married?" Hand me a barf bag!. If you love someone you should tell them everyday.

All my friends will be out on dinner dates with there girlfriends and what not, I made a plan! I'm gonna be at home and watch Sex & The City re runs. Maybe i'll go to the gay guy who owns the movie store & be like "Hi i need to rent some really romantic movies that will make me cry"

My internets been really crappy all week must be everyone on eharmony clogging my bandwith trying to find there soulmates.

OH! and something really cute i learnt the othernight while watching sex and the city i think it was or some other show like it. they were all alone and bitter and the 1 girl said "Even in lonlyness we are all together".

Just remember that Valentine was this celibate priest who got beaten, stoned, and beheaded by the Roman emperor.

I like Valentine's day, even when I'm single, but I'm a hopless romantic. Valentine's gives me a reason to show it. *shrug* I'm an odd little cookie, though.

I'm so not even helping. *eyeroll* I say do the bitter thing, with friends, because misery loves company and at least there'll be love somewhere? Also, it can be fun... or not. You could just ignore the day entirely. It seems like what everyone around here that hates the holiday is planning to do. It could work... but I'm a fan of bitter. It can be fun to wallow in for a little while as long as you don't keep with it 24/7. A day a year isn't going to hurt anyone. I just choose my birthdays for mine.

Uhm...ouch.

Oh my! and I try so hard to avoid that

Vic, it sounds like you've got a pretty healthy and positive attitude going, and I know you might not be overly confident in my prophesying ability, but let me take a stab at it just to help allay your concern:

"I predict that in five years you'll be living happily every after with the love of your life."

Now go be happy!
