since i actually have someone to spend valantines day with this year i thought id go all out, my gf and i are going out to dinner then when we come home i have planned to cover the bed in flower petals and have a bunch of little choclate hearts in the shape of a larger heart, in a candle lit room ;)
what if any are your plans for valentines day? :)
Taking your girlfriends place!
nice try Devlyn but i think my gf might have something to say about that since she has no idea i have this planned

Aw, shucks.
Jerking off in the shower? lol Yeah I have no big plans for V-day. I'm one of those anti-v-day grumps I think.
Going to my corporations class.... then getting work done that I know I'll never do over the weekend. I think I am having lunch with my friend from school, but I didn't know it was V-day so soon so I hope she doesn't cancell to go out with her BF or something. :-\ I really want some curry.
I'm like.... 17 days away from moving to be with my GF, so I'll probably watch a movie with her over FaceTime (lol nerdy) we did the gift thing via post already, bring on the move.

Same here.
For Valentines Day, I will probably do one of four things:
A. Work on my briefing paper for class
B. Work on my interview paper for class
C. Figure out the topic I want to write about for my paper about Law Enforceent and Higher education
D. Work on my review questions
Well, my state of being in a relationship has gone from yes to no to I don't even in the past day, but even so my plans are:
-Go to school and be depressed watching all the other kids get flowers from friends and partners
-Take an AP Bio test
-Use my one free period I'll have to work on my research paper
-Go have a cello lesson (can't even play in school right now because my arm is all screwed up and needs time to heal, but I can't put off another lesson)
-Think sad thoughts
-Work on the many chapter notes I've been assigned
-Think over what in the hell I'm going to talk over with my ex but not ex boyfriend bro person what the following day
Sleep isn't on this schedule, nor is chocolate and commercialism.
I work at a sushi restaurant, so it's going to be balls to the wall busy, and that's how I'll be spending my day.
I wanted to take my partner to a movie, but its January-February movie season still, no good films in sight. -__- Awe well, we'll probably get some grub, then cuddle and play video games with a bottle of wine or something.
normally I cellebrate vallentine with my left hand and some chokolate..
but this year I thought of buying some summerbird chokolate to someone special.
(its expensive chokolate for those who dont know what summerbird is)

I have to go to the dentist....with a sprained ankle....and nobody can drive me
yey :I
I'm trying to ignore it as much as possible. It'll be our 16th wedding anniversary. :(
We decided to get married on Valentine's Day because of the romantic connotations and we thought it'd be sweet to get constant reminders about it each February. Now that we're splitting up, those constant reminders not so great.
Nothing. I don't have anyone and while I do think it's heavily commercialized, but so is Thanksgiving which is a newer holiday than V-Day [see: Thanksgiving as we know it was created in the late 1800s and V-Day was being actively celebrated in the 1600s and finds its roots in Roman times...and yet you don't hear people complaining about Thanksgiving other than me], I still like to celebrate it on occasion if I have someone.
But I don't this year so...I will be staying home and applying to jobs. Oh, I'll also be celebrating my parents' dog's birthday [Miss Kitty turns 9].^^
Microwave meal for one same as last Valentine's Day and the one before,and the one before that and the one before.......etc
Last year, I wrote out 40 things I love about my gf, cut them into individual strips, inserted them into 40 balloons, blew them up and left them all around the dining room table. After we forced down the nasty homemade pasta I made, I gave her a needle and told her to get to popping. She loved it.
I'm going to the DMV to get my driver's license renewed even though I just got it when I got my name changed in May...
Then I may or may not meet my mother for Chinese food just because according to her there's a really good Chinese place right across from the DMV and she works like 10 minutes from there.
After that I'll go to karate and take the fact I'm lonely out on some of the dudes in my class.
I'll be sulking because I have to resort to self-help. Long distance gets old fast.

You obviously missed the Thanksgiving threads I was a part of. I have a serious beef with Thanksgiving, but I'd rather not get into it.
And, seriously? Miss Kitty? Does she chase and bark at herself? ???
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Anywho, I'll be going to school, doing homework, finishing my bibliography for an English paper about tone ( ::)), and working out. :P
You don't eat beef on Thanksgiving, turkey! :laugh:
Oh, yeah? Well, I'm thankful for my freedom to choose to eat beef on any holiday I want. :P
Anywho, I also remembered that I'll be building a cardboard boat. :P

lol, you're obviously much better at science than I am; I only got a 1 on the exam. ;D Though, dissecting the pig was a lot of fun in class.
Have a nice V-day Diana and Devlyn :-*
Thanks, hon, you too!
I find AP Bio to be easy, but sometimes I accidentally say things I don't mean to. Like today, when I stated that Cordata was classified by the presence of a spinal column, and the teacher corrected me right after I realized I had said that in place of notochord. I turned an impressive shade of red and facepalmed for a fairly long amount of time. Why do I say things when I mean something else :I

...I flipping hate Thanksgiving. Mostly because now that I'm in Texas it'll mean seeing extended family. D: Though my class on U.S. nationalism definitely didn't help. xD
:P My parents named her after the girl from Gunsmoke and That 70s show. XD
My V-Day's plan has changed to: roleplay on Elysium, eat spaghetti, and exercise. And pretend I'm not lonely by cuddling the dog.

In other news, still nothing planned for V-day
Me and the girlfriend will both be ignoring the over commercialised rubbish. She was so happy that I agreed that it's silly because you should love and treat your partner as well as possible all year round, not just on one day.
Doesn't help that she's on crutches at the moment either so can't get here, or up to her room if I go there easily.
I'll be convincing my boyfriend to continue to take his antibiotics xD. Poor bastard got a nasty case of gastroenteritis, and the poor guy still isn't back on solids ;_;. So I will baby him and try to get him to drink chicken broth. Homemade broth is great when you have a stomach infection, all the nutrients without the diarrhea or sodium :'D.
Since its already Valentine's day in Japan, I am done with my celebrations. I celebrated it by getting a job contract. Frankly, it was the best V-day ever. I've been looking for a job for nearly a year. Huzzah!

Awesome! That's one way to have a happy Valentine's Day.
Going to try to stay awake during the test, though I could probably do it in my sleep :P It''s all elementary stuff- DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering, Origin of Species, Hardy-Weinberg Theory, and various assorted things that are just nonsensical to test on. I get funny looks and some glares when we get tests back, because people with 51s are jealous of people with 100s. But hey, it's not like it's all that hard. Just a bit of thinking and proper storage in your memory. People need to de-clutter the proverbial desk in their minds these days, and then maybe cortisol levels would drop and free time would be gained and obesity wouldn't be as much of an issue, even though it's partly genetic. There'd be more time and energy dedicated to physical health.
Okay, end ego-inflating ramble. Spending this morning trying to get my whatever he is now to stop self-bashing because it's bad.

Congrats on getting a job!
I will spend today hiding under my blankets and waiting for chocolates to go on sale tomorrow.
I'll be spending it just like any other day. I've never been too hung up on V-Day, in or out of a relationship. The only thing I don't want to see is people eating face in public, because that's disgusting, but I inevitably will. -_-
So today I have work, then a meeting with my supervisor, then realistically I'll nap. Seeing a friend as well, then maybe talking to friends tonight.
For starters, we dissected a pig's heart, lungs, kidneys and liver in biology class today. I also got chocolate from a girl in class, so... well, frankly I have no idea how to deal with the chocolate thing since I can't be sure if she gave it to me on a platonical girl-girl-friendship basis or on a maybe-romantic-basis, since I don't know if she percieves me as a girl, a guy or something in between. Either way I'll give her some chocolate as well tomorrow :) It was super sweet of her, the first time I've ever gotten something on Valentine's Day.
I think I would have to avoid anyone who sent me a card as anyone attracted to me must be more disturbed than I am
Haha. I got two Valentines. I got a Tootsie Pop from my boss and a bag of beef jerky from my mom (who knows I try to avoid sugar). A big drop from the previous two years when I was a second grade teacher and got all kinds of goodies from my kids and coworkers...
I've never gotten anything on the Valentines day. Today was the first time anyone actually said "Happy Valentines Day" to me -- last year me and my girlfriend were sort of going out without saying it to each other and I was out of the country -- and I think I annoyed her by responding "Happy National Condom Day"... I did walk my dogs over to her house and got a couple of minutes with her, but as she's on crutches so can't drive or walk to mine at the moment and my dogs aren't allowed in the house that's all I got. Was kind of sweet though because when we started talking I used to use walking the dogs as an excuse to sneak out and go and see her for a couple of minutes.
I've actually got a date tonight. It will be the first Valentine's Day I have celebrated in about 11 years. My ex-wife did not like to celebrate it. I'm quite excited!

Seriously though, I spent the day on my own, but having some lovely and loving communications with friends by email, text, phone - and a nice exchange of unvalentines with my friend-belovèd who has yet to find out just how crazy I am about her. Oh, and I bought a life-size black panther soft toy, and am waiting for her to show up :D.
Padma, your kitty looks so sad. :( I hope your panther shows up soon.
I just took myself out for a dirty chai and banana pancakes at my favorite independently owned cafe. Great timing to come here, it's just me and the guy working behind the counter.
Now... if I can only get myself to concentrate on Secured Transactions I'll have a free weekend.....

I am 18, and I frankly don't mind being single. Being in a relationship sounds very expensive, not to mention requiring a lot of effort. I'm too lazy to participate. ::)

Oh sorry, thought you were still in high school.
I perfer being single too for the most part, though sometimes it's fun to have someone. I am just too focused right now on my own stuff to want to be in another relationship anytime soon. My dog is enough for me.
I really, really want to know what a dirty chai is.
My partner is away, no plans. But then we never did anything for V-day anyway even before I was out. I've never had any partners enthusiastic about this day. Now I just see it as another conglomerate holiday because then I don't get sad if I'm alone on it.

I am in high school. Honestly, there are sophomores with more experience than me. A sophomore hid behind me when some girl walked by. I asked him what was up, and he told me that she was his ex. Seriously? He's 15 and he already has an EX? What?!

Oh please, when I was 10, this boy I befriended in a production we were doing said he had three exes, and he was the same age as me. He then had to go on and explain what he meant by an ex. Oh, what an educational experience that was for me.
And now I'm spending this Valentine's Day explaining to this friend person ex but not really why love is a stupid concept and what really goes on when people fall and stay in love and how a benefit score comes into play because people are naturally selfish and not aliens like me. In other words, I'm explaining the scientific reason why he just acted like a not nice person.

I don't know if that's the right terminology re: benefit score, but basically I described how the brain is flooded with hormones in response to falling in love, and how that is only a short-term thing before a plateau is reached in regards to romance. Then bonding occurs through oxytocin, the cuddling hormone, which is a controlled substance here now. It's also used as a powerful painkiller, but not like it used to be because of its addictive properties. Ironically, the market for ADD/ADHD drugs including amphetamines (yes, medical-grade meth and speed are somehow able to cure attention issues) is still going strong with only minimal gatekeeping via a really dumb attention test that anyone could fail without even trying to do so. Benefit score stuff was an explanation of how people are selfish and operate on what will statistically benefit them the most- a friendship is still beneficial, but a relationship may not be, therefore he has expressed a desire to terminate said relationship.
Oh...
Anywho, I tried a chocolate-coated Valentine's cricket today. Honestly, the cricket wasn't bad, but I now remember why I detest chocolate. Bleh.
That's pretty interesting. Chocolate is okay, but I also can't have refined sugar, so I have to stick to my infrequent consumption of one square of a bar of dark chocolate claiming to be made from unrefined sugar and sans-lactose, since it supposedly is healthy to consume it.
Lol all your talk of young love got me remembering. This is me and my first boyfriend, back in first grade. We'd pick flowers together during recess. He gave me my first Valentine's.

Don't ever throw your old photos out, they're so much fun to look at when you're older.
Boyfriends, huh. Well, I'll call him my ex now, but he confessed to me that he kissed another guy today of all days. Damn you, Hallmark Holiday. Only mad about it because I always felt insecure that he'd want a "real guy" instead of one requiring a bit of assembly. So I'll add that guy who has been itching to steal him from me since we first started dating to the list of people whose faces I fantasize about breaking as part of my stress relief. Maybe I'll punch a pillow or two.
My girl friend is out of town. I remember dad used to say it was a Hallmark holiday. Wonder how mom actually felt about that.
I got about 6 kids valentines today.
