Happy Valentines Day!

I’m always logical. I just don’t always baby people, because I expect them to see it. It’s like this: I have way too much faith in humanity >_>;;;

Jealous of what? Being unable to control my vocal chords? Showing off all the time? Those people have nothing I could possibly want. Besides, it doesn’t take a lot of thinking to realize that if they put so much emphasis on showing off, then the whole thing is probably hollow.

And Hades, you really DON’T want to get me started about faith in humanity (or lack of it)… :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh man is that ever annoying, it’s like those guys that spam up message board threads by making up 1/ 2 of the posts.

Whoa, calm down :stuck_out_tongue: Maybe they’re, you know, just having a good time.

One thing is having fun, the other is bothering everyone else. If you were eating at a restaurant, I doubt you’d want to hear a bunch of loonies screaming their lungs out as if they were drunk. The same way, if people do care about each other, there’s no need to make a circus out of it.

I would whine about being single, but I don’t think the Bishoujo newbie or the girl from the Social Distortion concert have broken up with me yet. Er… wait… of course… one of them did… of course… heheheh… damnit.

There’s no shame in being single. I’ve been like that my whole life, and I never regret it.

I got 400+ of my posts off that one WoW thread!!

And don’t worry Manus, the ocean is full of fish D:

The fish aren’t worth pursuing. Real women are sharks.

(this an out of context quote, but you’ll enjoy my story anyway Manus-face!)

I’m so happy you asked! Story time :smiley: Well a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a place called Rome!!! Rome was a totally bogus dictatorship led by some douchebag who liked war n stuff. Let’s nickname this dictator Sinistral. Sinistral had noticed that the soldier’s who weren’t married were much more fierce in battle, seeing as how they didn’t have to worry about never seeing one special person again. Sinistral decided that marraige was totally not sweet if he wanted his troops to rock out with their cocks out on the battlefield. So he banned it! Oh noes!!!

This is where St. Valentine comes in! St. Valentine was all like oh helllls nah. So he married people in secret! Eventually Sinistral found out and had him thrown in jail. St. Valentine, being the suave person he is, began to woo tha jailer’s daughter. Sure enough, they fell in love. Sinistral found out about this too and got wicked pissed. He ordered him to be executed! So on the day of his death, February 14, he wrote his love a final letter. He signed it ‘Forever your Valentine’. <3

That’s the story of Valentine’s Day. Wasn’t that fun??

Yep, it’s the only Catholic holiday they encourage you to celebrate in grade school.

Of course, you have to make out cards to the entire class, because you’re not allowed to <i>not</i> like anybody, right? Not that the kids don’t resent being forced to socialize and mistreat the ones that would have liked being <i>left the fuck alone</i> much better. “Hi, you suck, have a heart-candy.”

Pay no attention to the preceding outburst. I am, as you know, an intricate tapestry of childhood traumas.

I remember getting two Valentines one year from some girl in third grade.

She gave two to some other guy, too.

Whore.

Somehow, I do not believe you. Sorry, Manus, but I seriously do not.

Also, though you complain about how other couples and lovers have acted in silly ways, I ought to remind you that I have seen you act in silly ways yourself, especially quite some time ago in the Tower of Babel, when it seemed to you that others were showing some potential romantic interest in you. The only difference was that you did silly things in posts. Claim all you want that it was just the Tower in general, but I distinctly remember you becoming all giddy and wrapped up in the emotion.

If you don’t care if they’re happy with each other or not, why are you so bothered by it? Nobody forces you to look at them. Granted I bitch about it all the time as well- but only as long as I don’t have the opportunity to do it myself <.< hypocrisy Nothing wrong with showing your happiness. I know I don’t care if I piss random people off :stuck_out_tongue:

Cynic.

Personally Valentine’s Day has never bothered me. Even though I’ve never had a girlfriend when it rolls around, I’m just happy for those people that do have someone to care for. Since everyone deserves some happiness in their lives, even if it is only for a short time.

I have no choice but to claim insanity on this matter. :hyperven:

The blatant commercialism of Valentine’s Day pisses me off.

Other than that, do whatever you want, just let me be single and bitter.

V-Day I’d celebrate if I wasn’t single, because it is a meaningful holiday
Sweetest Day, on the other hand, was a holiday created by the Greeting Card companies and if you’re not single, an excuse to get laid.

Holy shit. The righteousness in this thread is unbelievable. The commercialism annoys you? Who gives a damn? Is said commercialism interfering with your right to live? Is it making you miserable every holiday? Does it bother you to the point where you feel the need to write your local newspaper to complain about such atrocities? Give it a rest. Every holiday is like that- I don’t see why we should piss and moan about it just on Valentine’s Day. Believe it or not, some people like to buy their loved ones, little things on certain days of the year :smiley: If that’s what makes you feel horrible every Christmas, Halloween, and whatever day, then you need a reality check. Damn.
