the scariest day of the year!

to be single on valentine's day...

(or if you're a guy with many girlfriends, all of whom think they're you're one and only)

(or if you're the only girl in the office whose SO doesn't send her flowers)

last valentine's day i had just recently broken up with my long-time bf and totally wasn't ready to think about dating. i'm still a little ambivalent

 

the about.com coping with being single on valentine's is kinda good

gave me some ideas

i just booked a 30 minute massage for saturday morning

i'm going to buy some $5 gas cards at Sheetz and give them away to random people who have to work that day, i'm going to attach them to little valentines like we used to give away in grade school

and i'm gonna see if i can round up the girls to go see He's Just Not That Into You that evening...

should be a fun day!

 

But he looks so cheerful :D

The day is only scary if he is your valentine.

I swear that's one of my geeky friends!  I'll have to ask him if he's ever done the R2-D2 costume.

I've been single for the last 4 years on v-day.  It's really fine, in fact so much better to be by yourself than with someone who isn't right for you.  I've just gone about my life as usual and passed out candy to brighten people's day.

This year I'm not single.  He can enhance the day, but it's already going to be terrific as I'll be spending it with him and we will dance.

haha. I thought for sure this topic would be about FAT TUESDAY! The pazickis (did i spell that right?) are really -terrifying-!

I thought this thread was going to be about Friday the 13th. Hah.

I'm mostly worried about the candy that comes with Valentine's day... I'm still working on the stuff I got for Christmas, I don't need any other temptations. Haha.  

last night i realized that my valentine's day plan is in conflict with my savings plan

:/

:(

*sends nomo love to counteract*

Vday when single was never a problem for me, but having a boyfriend it's kind of stressful! He's super low-key ... I think he will probably want to surprise me with a little something this year ... I am aiming to do goofy things that will make him laugh.

Fortunately The Onion is here to "hilariously" remind us what the TRUE meaning of Valentine's Day is really all about--an early era Christian being savagely tortured by a mob and then executed by beheading:

Ah, Hallmark, Hallmark, Hallmark. Is there anything you can't turn into a crass consumer-fest?

Heh. I love The Onion.
