Well keep an eye out. We haven't exactly done a roaring trade in romance cards, so we're thinking of doing 'fuck you' cards, which would be infinitely more popular  Just to help spread the love, of course  Let me know when the fuck you cards come out....I have a list  |

This year we will celebrate Valentine's Day on the 15th.
It's nearly impossible to find a decent restaurant on the 14th. They're all crammed full. And flower prices skyrocket. What's up with you greedy bastards? Is monday that different from tuesday? Evil flower barons! _____________________

Being loved means having a partner (in my case, a husband) who treats me well every day of the year, not just somebody who buys me candy and flowers and takes me out to dinner on a certain day in February. (Though a box of chocolates, vanilla creams, to be exact, never goes amiss with me, on any day of the year.
)Hallmark is evil; we avoid buying cards for "special" occasions whenever we can. What a waste of money. Often a letter is just as appropriate and much more appreciated. Though there are some smaller art card companies that make some more interesting cards... I usually try to seek those out at specialty shops when I absolutely must send a card. _____________________

As a hopeless romantic, I rebuke thee! Seconded. Although i usually just say valentine's day is a euphamism for "chocolate season" usually... LF _____________________

Some people seem to have misconstrued me - they think I'm ranting about the commercialism of mid-February. I'm not bothered about it; if people are daft enough to get sucked into it, that's their problem, not mine.
The problem is with bloody couples. I'm not against couples - that'd be daft. What I can't fucking stand, though, is the fact that in this college, I'm surrounded by moronic scallies snogging each others' faces off for eight hours a day. This morning, the first pair I saw were at about 8.30am, and I'm going to be walking around having it shoved in my fucking face all day. The other day, I was walking down a corridor minding my own business, and suddenly found myself in the midst of some teenage row or other! I really, really don't see why these fucking morons have to conduct every single aspect of their relationship in a public, academic space. Do they not have homes, and bedrooms, to go to?! And it just gets worse the closer to 14 Feb you get. I'm throwing a sickie and staying in bed that day. |

Now my favourite party, the People's Republic Of Disco has got itself a fucking Valentines' special. It's turned from a decent enough party into a fucking dating agency

Rose,
I was touched by your story. Charlotte, Your tolerance level seems to be very low. Have you always been so upset by the normal events of real life? _____________________

Charlotte,
<<I'm upset by being surrounded by fuckwits all day.>> Ah yes, but hasn't it occurred to you that you perceive them as fuckwits because your level of tolerance has become so low? I have always found that there is something to admire in almost everybody, simply because we are such a disparate collection of different skills and abilities that virtually anybody I meet will have at least one quality superior to the equivalent in me. _____________________

I think when people are feeling low, and are single, that Valentines is a hard time and people become over sensitive.

I'm sorry, but just having it shoved in your face all day that if you're single, and you don't buy things for people on Valentines you are somehow inferior is doing my nut in.

...I'm surrounded by moronic scallies snogging each others' faces off for eight hours a day. How _DO_ you Brits do that? Every time I hear one of your slang terms for the very first time, I know instantly and exactly what it means Are you all related to Anthony Burgess, or something? == danny d. |

Yes. It's dire. All those signs in shop windows in every high street up and down the land, exhorting consumers to buy everything from the traditional flowers, chocolates and lingerie to the one I saw today in my local sandwich bar - a fucking "Valentines' Special Sandwich"! (Incidentally, I hope it contains arsenic.) You teenage couples can piss off. I'm absolutely sick to the back teeth, both in RL and SL, of having peoples' brief love affairs shoved in my face all day long, then being the one they all come crying to when it all inevitably fucks up. I've got no problem with couples per se - it'd be very sad if I did - but when the couples in question spend all their time snogging the face off each other in the street, it just starts to grate. This festival is nothing but a way for cynical companies to commercialise yet another emotion. They can fuck off and stick their cards up their Hallmark. I feel the same way about christmas, but nobody listens. _____________________
If you are awesome!

THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM ON THE FOOTPATH FOR YOU TO STROLL ALONG HAND IN HAND, CAUGHT UP IN A BUBBLE OF LOVE? OK? |
