So am I the only one who loves Valentine's Day? My good friend of 8 years who I like alot sent me something and I should find out in a few days and I am getting her Lost Season 4, 2 dozen red roses, and professional pictures of me :D

I already got my present! It's a hello kitty charm bracelet.
I got him a subscription to Game Informer Magazine. YAY ME.

To be honest I can take it or leave it. I would probably like it a bit more if I were not single. That said I am content with being single. I said this in the other thread but on Valentine's Day some friends are putting together a gathering of us at this bar that night. Basically a party and some music and drinks. Nothing fancy but it should be good times.

I'm not single and I could take Valentine's Day or leave it. I usually get a homemade card and that's good enough for me. Seems like the kids at my school have more fun with it than adults do anyway.

My plan on Valentine's Day is to go see He's Just Not That Into You with my single friends and then have a **** guys party...which basically involves them getting drunk while I try to have as much fun while sober and we dance to music about how guys are *******s. I guess that's your answer. Oh so bitter. So very, very bitter. I don't trust the plans to necessarily pan through, though, because my friends are pretty untrustworthy when it comes to plans.

No offense to any guys who AREN'T *******s, btw. I understand they're not all. :) We just need to have our pathetic fun. :lol:

I'm all about candy!

I'm all about candy!

I'll buy you roses :D

I'll buy you roses :D

Umm, You do know FSU is a guy, right? :confused: ;)

I have never been in a realationship yet but I really like Valentine's day. Just think, when it finally happens, the wait will only make it that much sweeter. Besides, pink, white and red were always some of my fav. colors!!!

I hate Valentines Day

My family has someone to kiss...and I have to use Self Serve.:(

wow Valentines already?? I haven't even started to go shopping for my boyfrend I will probley just get him candy's and all, and a Valentines Day Card, HE LOVES CANDY, so I am just gonna get him a bunch of that so he can be hyper off of it lol.

It's just another day to me. I'm single and just fine with it, but I do enjoy buying the candy the day after and getting it real cheap. :D

Valentines Day has never been a big deal for me. Although in elementary school I loved the parties. I loved getting valentines but I never got one from my one true love.............. Timmy It was SO heart breaking:(

Worst holiday ever. :(

Worst holiday ever. :(

No it isn't, Thanksgiving, New Year's and St. Patrick's Day is the worst holiday ever!

it was always pretty much my dream to get an adorable and romantic valentine's gift from a guy i liked. it happened last year and the year before from someone i'll always love even though we already broke up, so i'm not bitter anymore. the candy sales are great too.

No it isn't, Thanksgiving, New Year's and St. Patrick's Day is the worst holiday ever!
New Year's I can understand, but why don't you like Thanksgiving and St. Patty's? :confused:

St. Patrick's Day is the worst holiday ever!
:mad:

why don't you like Thanksgiving

Must be on a diet.

If so, I think Thanksgiving is the one day you're allowed to cheat. :lol:

Well with Chandler, it was the day he was told his parents were splitting up "just as he had taken a mouthful of squash"

That would put you off your stuffing for sure! ;)

I guess so

New Year's I can understand, but why don't you like Thanksgiving and St. Patty's? :confused:

St Patrick's Day is a boring pointless holiday, I mean wear green and don't get pitched? Dumb! Bleah, but Thanksgiving, I always get left out every single year on Thanksgiving, I have a big family and all my family are hearing and I am deaf, they don't know sign langauge and my twin brother doesn't talk to me either so I always feel left out but I am used to it but I always dread when the day comes :(

OK, I can understand now. Sorry things are so rough. :bighug:

I got a gift from my girlfriend today! She got me a sweet card, boxer shorts with kisses all over them, and a teddy bear with a shirt on the teddy bear that says "Be Mine" Awww! I love her! :D :eyes: :love: :loveya:

OK, I can understand now. Sorry things are so rough. :bighug:

Thank you so much for the hugs!

I'm really anixous on Tuesday when she gets 24 dozen red roses, I really hope she loves them! :crazy:

Thank you so much for the hugs!
Sure! I must admit I've never really gotten St. Patty's myself. I'm not Irish, Catholic, and I don't drink alcohol. So I'm out of the loop. :lol:

I dont dig St. Patty's Day either. I'm not catholic or Irish, but I do drink, and I dont need a holiday just for that.

St. Paddy's Day = Nobody Looks Good Dressed All In Green! ;)

Well for irish people, it feels great to have a holiday devoted to your heritage.

Sure! I must admit I've never really gotten St. Patty's myself. I'm not Irish, Catholic, and I don't drink alcohol. So I'm out of the loop. :lol:
Oh yeah, it's so lame.

Another one that is pointless? Labor Day!

The only ones I really like are the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Eve. The rest are blah.

Oh yeah, it's so lame.

No one in your family could be bothered to learn sign language? That's rude.

But I'm with you man...Thanksgiving is depressing. The food is good, but that's only 30 mins of the day.

Spring Break...that's a pretty awesome holiday. :lol:

Oh yeah, it's so lame.

Labor day is still better than St. Patrick's Day :p

Christmas is okay, but ever since I got older I don't like it nearly as much. :(

Spring Break...that's a pretty awesome holiday. :lol:

Oh yeah, mine's coming up in just over a month(March 13th-22nd). No idea what I'm doing yet, kind of broke. :(

Christmas is okay, but ever since I got older I don't like it nearly as much.

Just because you get older doesn't mean all holidays should automatically decrease in importance to you personally.

Well for irish people, it feels great to have a holiday devoted to your heritage.


Not all of us. I'm part Irish and if anything, my mother used to tell me NOT to wear green on that day. I think it's the old Scottish vs. Irish B.S.

Just be thankful that the Scots never made everyone wear tartan and eat Haggis on Robbie Burns Day! ;)


And yah DVDFreaker - not to sound judgemental, by why has no one in your family learned to sign? It's not that hard - I learned it as a child when I had a deaf friend. I find that incredibly cold. Have you mentioned this to your parents? I'm sure they'd do something if they realized how the lack of communication makes you had family holidays and gatherings. :(

Next Thanksgiving you can spend with me. We'll sign until our food goes cold! :)

i've got to love the fourth of july...it's my birthday and the perks are endless. i can't think of a better day to have been born on. no idea what my opinion would be if it weren't my birthday though.

I still have my heart on Christmas, even though last Christmas was ****ed-up. (Don't get me wrong, it was nice to be with the family last year, but since we didn't see any of my relatives outside my family and we only went to church, it was as dull as an old knife....Either that or I outgrew Christmas.)

It takes a hardened solo traveler not to wince at giddy twosomes reveling in the romance of travel—lovers smooching in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, giggling on a chairlift, or holding hands across an airplane aisle—especially on Valentine’s Day. Single and not in the mood for love this February 14th? No worries—it’s entirely possible to get around on the red-letter day without tripping over adoring couples.



Ignore the pair snogging on the train, groping in the plaza, and spoon-feeding each other over the rustic little table — and enjoy a great getaway for one!



Must-Avoid Spot: New England B&Bs.



Why: Because the postcard romance, wall hangings of hand-stitched lovebirds, and canoodling couples on every chintz-covered couch are all reminders you’re looking for love. Not even the chocolate-chip pancakes will help.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Groovy Southwestern spas known for their (cough, cough) group activities, like Ten Thousand Waves in Santa Fe, N.M. After a weekend spent hot tubbing and sleeping in an Airstream trailer (the most far-out of 13 suites), you’ll be feeling some good vibrations. For the best karma, bring single friends.



Must-Avoid Spot: Candlelit restaurants.



Why: It’s one thing to be out with your true love, her eyes aglow in the reflected light of a flickering flame, but quite another if you’re at a romantic restaurant with a roommate, friend, or sibling. Plus, those burning candles are a regrettable reminder that no one’s heart burns for you. Steer clear.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Nightclubs with flattering lighting. For excellent dancing, people-watching, and appearing in your best single light, head to Miami, renowned for its nightclubs with throngs of scantily clad singles. A prime example: the 40,000-square-foot Mansion, decorated to resemble the South Beach version of its name, with Roman arches, scarlet-hued couches, shiny celebrities, and cool lights — in this case, sleek laser ones that rhythmically light up the dance floor.



Must-Avoid Spot: Cozy ski lodges.



Why: Two words: cuddle trap. What with their hot crackling fireplaces, fuzzy wool blankets, and steamy cups of hot chocolate, these rustic abodes practically force guests to snuggle — and woe betide the lodger with no snow bunny of his own.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Chairlifts with cuties. Singlehood doesn’t make skiing off-limits. The trick? Hit slopes frequented by the unattached, like Jackson Hole, Wyo. In pursuit of the greater good, we tracked down where the hotties congregate: The Granary, a cozy Teton slope-side bar usually packed with sexy cowboys; the new, mountainside Four Seasons; and the smaller Rusty Parrot, with locally crafted furniture and a solicitous vibe. Shy and living on the East Coast? There’s Black Mountain, NH’s Chairlift Speed Dating event.



Must-Avoid Spot: Elegant chocolate shops.



Why: Chocolate on Valentine’s Day is practically an American institution—as wily wooers know. If you’re lovelorn and somehow stuck in a chocolate store, enjoy your own box of bittersweet bites. Ha!—you won’t have to share.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Casual coffee joints, where many singles give in to a different caffeine-induced vice and hang for entire afternoons, often immersed in books that offer a conversational opening (“How about that—I love Chuck Palahniuk, too!”). Even better are coffee shops-cum-bars; as the sun sets, you can take the relationship to the next level. A good example: Halycon, a lounge-y hangout in Austin, Texas, with an espresso machine, well-stocked bar, and cheery green couches.



Must-Avoid Spot: Hotels with no televisions.



Why: Because chances are that anyplace advertising itself as being unplugged from the grid (no television, no Internet) will be full of travelers who are freed up to concentrate on life’s, er, simpler pleasures on Feb. 14.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Tricked-out temples of technology. In standard W hotel rooms, for instance, guests can watch movies on giant flat-screen TVs instead of staring at photos of an ex, surf the Internet rather than call an old girlfriend, and otherwise repress their heartbreak taking advantage of the hotel’s iPod docking stations, DVDs, CDs, and PCs. And what better place to geek out than Dallas, a modern city that’s warm in winter?



Must-Avoid Spot: Fancy flower shops.



Why: Well, because they’ll be crammed with people buying blooms for their sweethearts, obviously. But if you find yourself there, assemble a single-person’s bouquet with Adam’s needles — white blossoms with spiky stems — which apparently signify “a friend in need.” (That’s you, in need of a partner.)

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Places where flowers grow. A vase of blooms is nothing compared to a landscape dotted with them, especially in the case of Big Sur, a breathtaking stretch of terrain running alongside the Pacific. Inject some literary sex ed into your trek and stop by the Henry Miller Library, a memorial for the eponymous 20th-century Tropic of Cancer author, or celebrate celibacy piety at the Tassajara Buddhist Retreat, the oldest Zen monastery in the U.S.



Must-Avoid Spot: Secluded resorts.



Why: “Searching for paradise?” read the ad. Why, yes, thinks the singleton. “Experience privacy and vacation bliss on our sparkling white sands,” it continues. Sounds lovely, reflects the solo traveler. “All-inclusive luxury package includes romantic champagne breakfast for two.” You get the idea.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Crowded, diverse locales where the fun is all-inclusive, like Las Vegas. You get the appealing everything-is-taken-care-of features of a resort sans the sense of being trapped on an island of love. Crash a bachelor/ette party and whisk away the most attractive guest for lobster at David Burke Las Vegas. And, for glitz that evokes the glamour of rock-and-roll singles, book a room at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino—newly chic with a change of ownership.



Must-Avoid Spot: Waterfalls on tropical islands.



Why: Because a thundering waterfall is a Harlequin novel come to life. Call it His Secret Cascade: “There was something about this part of the tropics that made Jane’s pulse skip a beat ... but soon she realized that she was the only person at the waterfall without a man. The other couples were eyeing her strangely, and she vowed never to book a flight to a tropical island again.”

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Chilly party towns where you must cuddle to stay warm. Take Reykjavík, Iceland, where the nearby Blue Lagoon’s geothermal waters offer a steamy way to thaw an icy heart — i.e., meet attractive Nordic singles. Talk a good game over Reyka vodka in the cozy Kaffibarinn or while listening to a live band at the ever-popular Nasa, and perhaps you won’t snooze alone at 101 Hotel—hip yet cozy, and located in the thick of the action.



Must-Avoid Spot: Picturesque streets with horse-drawn carriages.



Why: At least in fiction and film, couples in carriages are always professing their love. That’s why ambling alone over cobblestoned streets on Valentine’s Day can only come to no good. If you hear a clip-clop, turn the corner.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Scenic cities with bikes — and we don’t mean bicycles built for two. Rent your own two wheels and ride freely, the wind in your hair, and explore every nook and cranny of heart-poundingly beautiful towns like San Diego or Amsterdam, the most bike-friendly town on the planet.



Must-Avoid Spot: Tall, iconic buildings.



Why: The scene: a skyscraper, a woman, and a man. The plot: thwarted love. The ending: the lovers meet at the top, of course, whether it’s King Kong and Fay Wray or Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, to be swept away by dramatic sunsets, sweeping views, and the feeling of being above all those single mortals.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Nowhere — there’s no place like home. Think of it as a chance to celebrate the fact that no one’s nagging you to clean up, redecorate, or, worst of all, change the channel. While other people are outside, perhaps forced to navigate icy sidewalks in high-heeled shoes, you’re relaxing on your couch watching your favorite movie. Even Cupid’s jealous. Too bad he has to work all day.

Just because you get older doesn't mean all holidays should automatically decrease in importance to you personally.
it's sometimes just part of growing up. most holidays have different meanings to me now than they did when i was a child. i don't get so excited anymore.

:clap I love it!! I have that day off so I think I'm just going to stay at home, watch some movies and play around on the 'puter. :D

You'll probably will again once you marry and have kids (if that happens).

I found I enjoyed it more again when I moved in with my ex since now I was the one making the big dinners and decorating my own place the way I wanted to. We never had kids, but the 12 Christimases I spent with him were the best of my life.

F&*$ing P$%@& ! :lol:
