It stinks like poopy.
Please share your pain.
A little early for this, aren’t you?
Like, about two months?
What brought this on?
Don’t hate it. Just indifferent.
Hey, why be normal?
It just popped into my head.
I friggin HATE Valentine’s day!
I hate how you get candy, flowers, and stuffed animals. And everyone’s so happy and mushy, and everyone’s in love.
I shutter to think about it.
Actually, I don’t like or dislike it. I once had a boyfriend break up with me on V-day. That kind of sucked.
I’m currently busy disliking Christmas (it gets a long lead time). I won’t get around to disliking Valentine’s Day until early February.

Yeah…keep those pro-VD-types from watching you though the windows.
Please, for the love of GAWD…can’t I despise one holiday at a time!!! :mad:
Don’t get me all depressed over the one til I’m over the other, eh?
What is so bad about celebrating romance and possibly love? I like all celebrations. Even those that I don’t “believe in.” Festivals are fun.
Eh, it only sucks if you are alone and not in love. Otherwise it’s a nice holiday for couples and families.
I just can’t stand President’s Day. I mean sheesh, we only have one president in office at a time and the rest are dead, dying or living in New York. Man it’s a horrible holiday and you don’t even get any gifts.
Valentine’s Day is great for blasting “Love Stinks” by the J. Geils Band followed by a heaping helping of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” all wrapped up with Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love.” Who-oah-o-oah!
Is that “Love Stinks” song the same as the “I Hate Everything About You” song by Whomever? If so…
What’re you doing in February, snooooooooooooooopy?
I’m not a real huge Valentine’s day fan, which is odd, because I’m really rather romantic, in a pragmatic sort of way.
Last year (read - 10 months ago) I was dating a fella and he took me out on Valentine’s day and had me pick out the most wonderful cute parakeet as a Valentine’s day gift. I got the bird home, set up in a cage, happy, etc. and then the SOB (the boyfriend, not the bird) dumped me 2 days later.
Great - so now I have this damn bird chirping your praises, reminding me of getting dumped 2 days after v-day. Bastard!
Oh well - I still have the bird, and he’s really wonderful - substantially better than the boyfriend was, but I still really don’t like Valentines day.
Add in “Love Hurts” by Nazareth-one of my favorite anti-love songs.
Hating is perhaps a little too strong. But I really dislike this “mandatory love day”. Especially since it’s actually only a bussiness thing. I never offer a gift, or even a card or do anything special on this day. I know some of my gf would have liked it, but there’s no way I will buy into this “you-must-prove-your-love-today-by-buying-our-stuff-or-else-you-are-an-uncaring-SOB-so-do-like-everybody-else-does” scam.
As far as I’m concerned, my feelings and the way and time I display them aren’t going to be dictated by the advertizing companies.
“Everything About You” is by Ugly Kid Joe.

Adding extra o’s to my name.
Clairobscur has expressed my feelings perfectly.
There was only one year in my whole life that I had a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day, but his strategy was to break up with me before every gift-giving holiday, so I’ve never gotten squat from a boyfriend.
Now I’m married, but my husband and I both feel the same way about Valentine’s Day. So we pretty much ignore it.
You could always choose a non-celebration of the “holiday.”
'Course, when it comes to making up “holidays,” I think we should take our cues from the Brazilians. That is a day I could celebrate all year 'round!
Y’all are forgetting, the most annoying, completely hideous, truly sickening holiday which is Sweetest Day!
And I am also tired of Christmas already. I am tired of eveything commercial about Christmas, i seriously do not want anything to do with it this year. I do not know if this was brought on by September 11th, or whatever the root cause is, but, I have had it. No shopping, no wrapping, NO DECORATIONS, no nothing!! Maybe I will just hand out cards with cash in them this year.
I prefer the day AFTER Valentine’s Day-candy is on sale.
