Valentine's Day

---

hehehe, how old are ya?? that really sweet of ya, bless ya lil cotton socks! hehehe

I'm 17. 18 in May. lol. I'm quite mature for my age. I think it's just the way I was raised.

not long to go then, then you can go to all the strip clubs you want!! next valentines day will be good for ya!!

hopefully I'll have a girl by then and I won't have to go to a strip club. But it's insurance I guess.

V-day should be renamed Hallmark Day. It's their fault this is such a big deal I swear it!!!!!!!

I wonder where valentines day come from anways?

There are a couple of legends that I've heard. One was that St. Valentine was a priest who served during the reign of Emporer Claudius III. The emporer decided that single men made better soldiers than married men and he outlawed marriage for young men. Legend has it that St. Valentine continued to marry young lovers in secret and when he was discovered it was ordered that he be put to death.Another Legend suggests that Valentine was imprisoned and fell in love with a young girl (some say it was his jailers daughter). It is said that before he died he wrote a letter to the girl and signed it, 'From Your Valentine', which is still used today.In any case, Valentine WAS a person but no one really knows anything about him except that he DID exist apparently. It's apparent though why some people consider him a very romantic figure. I'm afraid Valentine's past will forever be shrouded in mystery.

it's probably best left a mystery. It would be cool to be remembered as a romantic figure and become a legend. That guy had it made.

Two years ago, I got dumped 2 days before it and I was going to sleep with the guy on Valentine's Day. Rob (my bf) and I figured something out. He finished the projects he had to do so I'm going to see him. That is, if my mom will let me drive down there. Because Providence is a tough place to drive and I'm a new driver and all of that.I agree that Valentine's Day sucks. I've always been a hopeless romantic and alone on Valentine's Day except this year. And now I may not be able to see him. I know I'm very lucky to have him, we love each other very much. Our 8 month anniversary (yes, we do the month anniversaries, we're geeks) is on the 2 year anniversary that my ex chose drugs over me. So it's an especially emotional time for me. I just want to hold him and be held by him, Rob that is, not my ex (he's dead to me). I didn't believe I could be loved by anyone until Rob. I know I seem a bit too young to be "throwing that word around" but if you knew me personally, you wouldn't be thinking that. In fact, you should, I don't bite...hard. I'm just shy.

yeah, probably. it all so comercialised!

I got to see him. Kay, I'm done.
