I had a filling done.
Do I win? :P
But honestly, Singles Awareness Day is all I'll get - My 19th time being single on this day (yes, I am 18, but still I count those young days as days too :P)

Well, so far I've had a pretty good Valentine's day, and I am in my late thirties and don't have a "special someone" right now. I bought some miniature boxes of chocolates to give to some of my close friends. I decided to also surprise the lady who lives across the hall from me and leave a small box of chocolates for her, as I know she also doesn't have a "special someone" and I know she is lonely since she lives alone and doesn't get out much. A friend of mine left some chocolates in a basket in front of my door and it was nice to start my morning off with a little surprise. I agree with the original poster that it doesn't have to be a day of misery if you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. You can spend some time with friends or just use it as an excuse to indulge in chocolate or other goodies if you have a sweet tooth.

O.K. I confess I was a little bummed out this morning when I saw a news segment about husbands getting cooking lessons to make dinner for their wives. But it passed. One time I was in a relationship and the guy conveniently decided to break it off two weeks before Valentine's day! :roll: . So I know how hard it can be on Valentine's day if you already are nursing a broken heart. So I'm sending out hugs to those with broken hearts :) . And if you don't like hugs, then I'm sending out some good thoughts that your broken heart will heal. :) .

The best day is the day after valentines day when all of the rich dark chocolaty treats are marked way down in price. No love on Valentines day? Have some delicious chocolates, happy day after Valentines me!. :wink:

Valentines day has always been historically a really crappy day for me. I was always bullied alot, by both men and women, because I never had a partner. The men were the more direct ones (often ranging from making fun of me to outright attacking me), while the women were more subtle (ranging from ignoring me completely to fake flirting)...

So yeah, I've always hated valentines day...

At least here, in a college that has practically no women, I don't get bullied about it anymore...

I made no plans and don't celebrate this holiday unless I have a girlfriend or a girl I am seeing that I really like. I might get lucky this year though, there are a few girls whom are throwing themselves at me via txt messages since I woke up..... one wants to meet up during my lunch break and I dont think shes intending to get anything to eat.

Well, I've had a great day. Me and my boss had a nice rant about neither of us getting any action, then I had my hair cut by a mental women. Now I've decided to dye it red because I'm a bit bored and I think it might be fun.

I've never really understood the point of Valentines Day. I mean, why would you need a particular day of the year to show your significant other, or anybody for that matter, that you care for them? Why not do that every day of the year instead?

I have a boyfriend, but we ignore Valentines Day. We think it's yucky.

It's warm and sunny here in Texas. My dog and I took a walk to the park. He waded in a stream. I'm avoiding school work. Good day so far.

I spent all day studying, then got into an argument with my NT boyfriend because I was tired from studying all day and cranky for not sticking to my usual food schedule. And he made the mistake to jokingly calling me "lazy".

I'm also under a lot of pressure because I'm behind in my studies (I'm graduating this semester with my Masters) because I've been sick. I finished my reading assignments for last week, but now need to focus on the two assignments I'm behind on and then work on next week's readings and assignments. On top of that, I think I'm PMS-ing and under pressure to find a job - which may or may not be in this state (which my boyfriend lives). Stress. Grr.

I'm definitly going tomorrow and getting some discounted chocolates.

My Valentine's Day was the same.

It Was C-R-A-P! :x

Today in Spanish, I received a card from a female student{sophomore, mind you} I am tutoring. I also received a card that was part of a class set. It had candy attached to it, but nothing was written on the inside, so my student wrote on the inside of it.

Also, I gave a card of my own to a very pretty girl{graduating junior} who was in Global Studies at the time. Her friends were talking to the teacher, so I asked him in a low whisper of voice tone where the girl was.

What I didn't know was that the girl was standing right behind me!
:oops: She thought I was scheduling a tutoring session for tomorrow, but while her group of friends were not looking, I snuck over to her unoccupied desk and placed her card, with candy attached, next to her jacket.

I still have another card to give to another girl.
She was supposed to be in Yoga for the afternoon,
but was absent.
I will try not to make a total ass of myself when I give the card to her tommorow.

After that, I will splurge on buying discounted chocolate.

The day's over now. Quite frankly, couldn't have come sooner. Sick of hearing everyone saying "I had a great day doing blahblahblah" and friends saying "I got a Valentine's card!". On the plus side, one of my mates isn't depressed anymore beens as he has a gf now. But yeah, otherwise, awful day, as per usual, thank god it's over, no more having to listen to people saying "I'm so in looooooovvvvvveeeeeeee!". Bleh.

I must say, even though sounding like a negative jerk, I don't know if it's the case for any of you guys, but it always seems to me the nice guys never get noticed. In this world, the majority of people are all about looks. Like "oh, he's fit" or "look at that hot bird". BLEH. When was it forgotten that personality was what was considered the most important thing, and looks came as an extra?
(An apology to anyone who is a nice person and does have someone, you're one of the lucky guys so ignore my rant here :P)
I mean seriously. The thing I do most is care about others (which may sound ironic after what I started this post with, but trust me, it's just the day that gets me moody). I put others first, and give them a helping hand whenever they need it. I have facial hair, one of about three or four guys in my 6th form that do (and no way am I cutting it off - it's what makes me me). So why is it that the abusive, horrid bloke who has a six-pack gets a lovely girl, whereas a guy like me who would put the universe before himself, facial hair and slight baggage have absolutely no one, at all, ever.

Seriously, this world confuses me. I don't know why I try to attempt to change it. One voice gets drowned in an ocean.
