I don't do Valentines day. But I kind of like the idea of a spontaneous, surprise Valentines Day where you spouse or s/o doesn't know when it's coming. Sort of an Anti-Valentines day celebration. But, if that caught on 'they'd' find a way to tap into that too and ruin it.
Since Cupid hates my guts, I will probably spend the day working as a courtesy to my other employees. I am the only single person that works in my store lol. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to have a few of the other poor chumps work too since it's considered a safety issue to work by myself.
I really don't do Valentine's Day... maybe it's the rebel in me. There is nothing romantic about someone doing anything sentimental on Valentine's Day... they didn't do any real original work... there is red and pink **** everywhere in case they happened to forget. I'm not a bitter person, I am in a great relationship and my boyfriend is very sweet... I just think it's silly to celebrate a completely made up holiday engineered for the sole purpose of sucking as much money out of the average sap. Sorry...
It's forced, yes! Reppin you for this. It's like "let's make up a holiday in the middle of winter, to get people out of their warm houses into this cold weather since it's been 2 months since we've had a gimmick to take their money."
I've been single more Valentine's Days then I have been attached. Yet, I still have a soft spot for the holiday. Who can resist conversation hearts, an armload of roses, cupids and sappy sentiments? To quote The Fiddler: Tradition,tradition. It's part of our collective culture, methinks some protest too much! <3
And St. Valentine who performed secret marriages after Claudius banned marriage (it was his belief more soldiers would sign up if they were not attached to wives and families). It eventually cost Valentine his life. I'd say he's a worthy patron of the cause....the cause being LOVE.

Actually I am planning to invite my best girl friend out on a date. Send her an invitation printed on nice flowery gold paper.. get the flowers.. romantic restaurant...
I figured, the sky would fall down before some guy would be able to fulfill such a romantic fantasy, so I am going to be the "guy" and plan a fullblown romantic night out for both of us...
