Heh, no, it wasn't. Valentine's Day has been celebrated for centuries, long before Ye Olde Hallmarke. But it's okay to ignore it if you want to. It's not my favorite day either.
But like a lot of other holidays, the meaning has changed over the years.
Christmas used to be about religion, but now it's just about materialism.
I have class, so I will just go to class and study
You're probably also working, since you went onto one of my threads and said how you're so much better than me because you support yourself during college.
For this was on seynt Volantynys day Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make.
It hasn't been anything else in a long, long time. Do some people go overboard? Yes. But it's not a new holiday or a new meaning to an old holiday. It's a day for lovers.
It's been a day to celebrate romance and love for centuries. Wikipedia says:

What I meant was the way people celebrate the holiday has changed. In the year 1382, people didn't buy Hallmark cards and a box of chocolates. I doubt they made single people feel left out in 1382 either.
I will spend a couple of hours on QQ, video chatting with my future wife, I'll send her an electronic card but most important is we will spend some of it together, even if we are 8,600 miles apart.
I have a work on that day. I got no plans. but i don't wanna see couples and girls bringing bouquet of flowers and chocolates! whew!! It will just remind me of my Ex who dumped me a few weeks ago!
I wanna know how are you going to celebrate your valentines day? Since you guys are single? are you going to mall? clubbing? drink till you drop?
or are you gonna just stuck yourself in your room and sleep???!!! (that's what im planning to do! LOL)
I'll have to look at the calender to see what day it is on. If it during the week I have to work and don't plan to do anything. It's no big deal. I've been burnt during V-Day before and don't care much for it since.
Since I always have to plan it- I'm thinking dinner at Red Lobster.
