V-day

---

You think you hate ie... It's my Son Birthday.. The kid was born on Valentines Day.... I bet he hates it more than you!.

If you lot don't like valentines day, then just ignore it and treat it as another day, no one says it has to be all lovey dovey.......just choose not to recognise the day and get on with it.................its not a big deal!

Valentines day is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap

Well it worked.

Angel it is not like that. It is a big deal. Listen when you have never had a date for a single V-day it makes it such a terrible day. It really is bad when all of your friends are out on dates going to the movies and such and you cannot hang out or do shit.

I normally send this poem to people I know on V-Day if I know they'll be dateless (like me) just to make them laugh

Hearts and roses and kisses galore,
What the hell is all of that shit for?
People get mushy and start acting queer,
It is definitely the most annoying day of the year.
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass,
Before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's ass!
I'll spend the day so drunk that I just can't speak,
And wear only black for the rest of the week.
Guys act all sweet but it soon will fade,
For all they are doing is trying to get laid.
The arrow Cupid shot at me must not have hit,
Because I think love is a big crock of shit!
So here is my story, what else can I say?
Love bites my ass... Fuck Valentine's Day!

Jon, i do get that its a big deal to some people, but only because they let it be a big deal, it would be easy to ignore the day, plan to do something that night, either alone or with family, OR, throw a big valentines party and invite lots of people, that way everyones having a good time, and hey, you arn't the only one who is alone on valentines day, but it will get to you, ONLY, if you let it.

I wish I could. Family going out with the people they are with to celebrate. All of my buddies has gf's and they are going out. No one around me is single. I mean oh well, like you said who cares. Who cares that I would not want to be alone after 20+ years of being alone. I think your right Angel I should just not care and go on life as a troll under a bridge. for at least 17 years I ignored it, but it is not only the day that gets to me it is the time that people spend with each other. I guess you wouldn't understand seems too hard for you.

I guess you wouldn't understand seems too hard for you. hey, why would you say that, just cos im not joining in the self pity of "oh woe is me its nearly valentines day!" Yeah, i've never spent it alone, feeling low and really hating myself...............YEAH RIGHT.........how the hell would you know...............whatever, i was only trying to help, since i HAVE felt the same way you do...........i won't fucking bother next time.......

Angel I am saying that I serously doubt that you spent the first 21 years of your life dateless. It is just something that I had friends to spend it with before and this one just ahppens to be becoming one of the worst.

I agree.. I Love Valentines day!! Even though I don't have anybody I love seeing my parents being **In love** and seeing all my friends having fun.. I'm going out with my best friend on Valentines day!

well see if I had 1 person to spend it with it would make it better. Have fun you should.

Maybe if you stopped drowning yourself in self pity you wouldnt feel so bad!

It's kind of hard to ignore with advertisements everywhere and people talking about it. And on the actual day, it's really crappy when everyone's out doing something with someone else and you're not.

So do you cry because your friends go on dates any day of the year? Get used to it.. it happens every day!

Actually your only half right, it was invented to make money, the feeling like crap was just a offshoot that leads people to therapy and drug companys and then the loved ones can buy more cards to tell them happy get off suicide watch day, and get better soon, and congradulations on your release form the mental ward.

I agree.. I Love Valentines day!! Even though I don't have anybody I love seeing my parents being In love and seeing all my friends having fun.. I'm going out with my best friend on Valentines day! I do too steph, I love to see my friends being all soppy and lovey dovey, and I always send cards to friends and family, not just partners........always have.

Certainly you could find something to do……How about visiting a nursing home and sitting with someone before they die or visit the children’s burn ward, at a local trauma center where they really have problems and troubles…

I'm either gonna sit home and watch 'American Idol' or go to a coffee shop and read for class...basically what I would do if it were any other Tuesday night. I would go see a movie, but I'm afraid they'll be packed with all the lovebirds.

Pink I feel no self pity. I hate the day it sucks. If there is any day for an American to hate ti s V-day. I mean every 10 seconds there is and advertisment. And it just makes me think. Maybe you could stop jumping to conclusions and trying to make yourself look good to everyone. Not everyone has people to go out with or hang with.
