Excellent way to celebrate the occasion of a slaughter!
Aside from eating chocolate, what is everyone planning to do?
Yea I know that none of you are going out on an expensive night about town with that significant other, so what have you cooked up to show your defiance of the day?
I'll start the show off. I'm planning some quality gaming time, maybe start watching my six seasons of the original TMNT cartoons. Without a doubt I'm giving a gift to a girl, and NOT JUST ANY GIFT, candy, and not just any candy three bags of gummi bears.
Why three bags? Because I took a big stock of them and cut all their little heads off. Two body bags, one bag o' bear heads.(the heads are way smaller)
Why, you ask? Because I'm not one for valentine's day!
When running on railings: one should be able to climb ropes with just their arms. While this does little for your balance, being able to support your weight with your arms when you are about to rack yourself is a marvelous thing.

Hey, how do you know none of us have significant others to spend the day with? ... Oh, right, 'cuz we're here.
Well, I certainly know how I'm blowing the day: snowed in my apartment and trying not to let pipes freeze.
Mmm, crappy "Is it because you're nerdy and girls don't like you?"
"No! ... yeah."

Ahh, Valentine's Day, or VD as it's more accurately called. The one day of the year I'm actually happy to be single. There's just something about everyone shoving the whole "love" message down my throat that make me want to KILL! I... mean... what bodies? Frankly I would take Gobbo's snowed in (provided the pipes don't freeze, that would plain suck) over my day, which consists of attending classes, despite the below-zero high and mounds of snow. But on the bright side, my school is showing The Prestige tonight. Unfortunately it's a semi-formal, couples-only thing. I really like that movie, too. So, yeah, I guess I'll be doing calculus while everyone with a significant other is having sex, which makes this no different from any other night.

A few weeks ago, I said to myself "There is no way in hell I'm attending school on Valentine's Day. And then the teachers told us that it was also count day - meaning we had to be there whether we wanted to be or not. And then, behold: school was canceled today because of snow.
So now I'm going to spend this holiday sleeping. And the only affection I have to endure is that of my cat.
I love it when things work out in my favor.

Mmmm... Singles' Awareness Day (SAD). What a lovely time.
I'm very much enjoying my SAD. It snowed, and we're off school. It's very icy snow, which makes driving rather difficult. So now I don't have to see them getting all lovey dovey. On top of that, I get to laugh at all the people who won't be seeing their "significant other" today.

That sounds personal and a tad bit inappropriate, Af. Please, do go into more detail.
* class changes to Brewer to make some sweet, sweet quaffable nepenthe... AKA Scotch * Couldn't have asked for a better VD, quite frankly -- one that is cold instead of burning! Didn't have to suffer any normies. Just spent all day locked away... which I woulda done any way, but this way, I have an excuse!

Now, if only that can keep up for the other 364 days, you'll be set.
And, Double-C.P., ain't S.A.D. not until after Valie's? Huh. Apparently, it can be the 14th, 15th, or even 13th? This dateless people gotta work on some uniformifying! It's not like they are busy with loved ones, afterall
Beh. Noodle Day seems better anywise. At least you get noodles then.

Ah, Valentines day. Day of not only lovers, but also of nasty breakups. Once again, I spent the day alone. This year was spent working on last minute programming class projects. And eating almost enough chinese food to make me puke. (Probably one of the reasons I spent the day alone. )

Nobody cares what anybody did..or who anybody may or may not have did Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow.
And many miles be still to go.
But under a tree I will lie,
And watch the clouds go sailing by.

Well anybody who doesn't care what anyone did yesterday enough to say so must have more of a life than the rest of us. Because I, for one, decidedly have nothing better to do than read about the various ways everyone spent the day alone and how Valentine's Day induces some blood lust in people other than myself.
For post Valentine's Day: I'll be punching guys in the face for attempting to give me flowers, and being a jerk to the people still crying about how their significant other dumped them yesterday. Yay! If ignorance is bliss, then you must be orgasmic.

Let's count the ways this is sad:
- Blokes were lured out of the wood work, ones that don't pop their heads out the hidie-holes too often.
- Just about everyone got a word edged in on the day that has passed.
- Everyone said the same thing: "I spent it alone."
Damn, we're all sad. Not that that wasn't already know, of course
Additionally, I like the way the world responded to this day:
Everyone: "Hey, it's Valentine's Day!" Nature: "It is? Well, I got you all something!" S*** bomb of snow! Nature: "Enjoy!" "They're nutty as a squirrel's breakfest."

This was the best V-day ever!
It was a snow day (or rather, an ice day)! There was absolutely no contact with other people at all. Oh well, it's not like I had anything better to do then loaf around drinking homemade hot cocoa.
Yay for being content!
In this world there are things that people mustn't touch. Who cares!
