V. Day?
 
Who thinks Valentines day is a stupid day?
I DO

I just wanted to see what y'all think about V. Day,

I hate it because this year I HAD a boyfriend, and he dumped me early February, so it leaves me alone just before V. day. This sucks...

Anyway, what are your thoughts?

EDIT: Me and my friends have disowned V. day and we now celebrate Best Friends day, so now me and my Best mates go to town or something.

Seriously, I don't care at all for V-Day. I've never liked it, even as a kid. I'm single, yes, but that's not the reason why I don't like it. I just don't like how commercialized it is . The fact is, you don't need a specific day to run to Hallmark to buy a card and some chocolates for your sweetheart. >_>

I think it's really annoying because I had someone yelling at me on the phone about it today. The woman wanted to make reservations at the restaurant I work at but didn't call in advance so we had no space left at the time she wanted. 9_9 Stupid woman was so rude.

Ahaha, but Valentine's Day itself? I don't really mind it. I LOVED it as a kid because it usually meant free candy and chocolate and usually schoolwork would be interrupted for a day of mindless celebration. XD

I usually end up hating it. All my friends are single and they end up complaining about it all day, putting me in a depressing and/or annoyed mood all day.

Tangerine Fox February 13th, 2008 7:23 PM

I see it as another day, really.

Dating is troublesome, so it's never been a holiday of romance for me, just a time to find plenty of candy around to share with your friends. I usually just make simple gifts for my friends and family, and leave it at that. =p

Gunn February 13th, 2008 7:31 PM

I don't mind Valentine's Day. I still do receive gifts from friends and family. It's not like you have to have a significant other and be happy to celebrate it. Not to mention that Valentine's Day is also my father's birthday.

Sylphiel February 13th, 2008 7:32 PM

I just...more or less ignore it. :x Valentine's Day is a day like every other, as far as I'm concerned. I don't tend to do anything for it (at least, within recent years), and if I get anything myself then hey, cool. If not, oh well.

Though I do really dislike the commercialism that surrounds it. "You HAVE to buy your woman this really expensive diamond bracelet or she'll HATE YOU FOREVER!!", that kind of stuff. I think I wanted to smash in my radio the last time I heard a commercial like that, hmph.

destinedjagold February 13th, 2008 7:40 PM

V. Day is like any ordinary day for me.
Though I am kinda annoyed by these red cards here and there, red balloons here and there and new posters in the bulletin boards in red here and there IN OUR SCHOOL...

That is really annoying... But oh well...
I wouldn't care if V. Day will become a legal holiday, I always treat it like any ordinary day. And that's that!

But even so, it's always nice to be greeted by your friends, and it lets you know that they care for you. =3

And that's my opinion. Happy Valentines PC! <3

Spaekle Oddberry February 13th, 2008 7:42 PM

Normally it's just an "Oh, yeah, it's Valentine's Day" thing for me. I am handing out candy to my friends at school tomorrow. Candy's fun to get and stuff, but I don't think you really need a specific day to tell someone you love them. And I really don't like romantic things in general and I don't date or anything, so whatever. Hating it just because you're always single is silly, though, because that's pretty much admitting that you'd probably like it if you weren't.

Sorano February 13th, 2008 7:44 PM

I don't care too much for Valentines Day. Relationships sux and people make too big a deal over it. I like it because I get free chocolate, though. :'D

MissMegano February 13th, 2008 8:06 PM

Aww, I love V-day.... All these 'pointless' holidays have are alright. It's a day where everyone isn't so dull. Mindless celebration is good for the soul :)

But the commercialism IS extremely annoying...

Gummy February 13th, 2008 8:08 PM

I started hating Valentine's Day last year when I spend a lot of money on Teddy Bears and passed them out to my special female friends. Didn't get a thank you from any of them, and one even REFUSED to take the gift.

Gerri Shin February 13th, 2008 8:21 PM

I rather Dislike the holiday mainly b/c of the fact that Its pretty pointless if you're single and there's wayyyy too much pink involved
for those that really want a treat check out the spoiler in my sig. it contains one of the best descriptions of the holiday I've heard yet.

luke February 13th, 2008 8:58 PM

I have mixed feelings over Valentine's Day. Never really celebrated it. Got broken up with on it once. But I don't let myself get depressed over it. I can't see my boyfriend tomorrow (unless he surprises me), but I'm not upset. It's just a minor holiday - nothing to get worked up over.

Forci Stikane February 13th, 2008 9:30 PM

...Let me sum this up as briefly as I can: "Valentine's Day" is simply a veiled attempt for companies to prey on the weak minds of the populous, and it should be treated as such.

Apathetic_Yen February 13th, 2008 10:27 PM

They should rename this E-day...EMO day

Twinx February 13th, 2008 11:32 PM

Ya, it's basicaly just another day for me aswell.. I don't hate it though.
I'm sure if I was actually in a relationship right now, I would be saying the opposite thing.. I'm a big giver, I love giving presents to the people I care about.
Is that a bad thing?:P

~Swish~ February 14th, 2008 1:41 AM

Well I've never been the flower giving/receiving type, but it's only a bit of fun really the day. In the past Valentines Day hasn't mean't a thing to me, but this year it's marked a signifcant change in my life, as last night (day before V. Day) me and who I believe is my true love got together and are officially a couple now, so I couldn't be happier!

Aww congrats Ben, I'm happy for you :)

I think Valentine's day is really sweet =3

Nothing ever happens on Valentines Day for me. It's just a normal day.

Same for me as well.
Just the same old normal day

Tater Tot February 14th, 2008 6:33 AM

Valentines day is kind of fun, I like to get all the candy. XD
I love getting chocolate from my parents on VDay, who doesn't love chocolate, right? XD

Legobricks February 14th, 2008 7:22 AM

Lol, confectionary... none of that on Valentine's over here.
Anyway, my better half knows I love her — I can't imagine we'd need a special day for it. On the whole, I've never celebrated St. Valentine's Day and don't really care for it.

You're not the only one, sweetie. I got my close friend a Buneary toy, candy, and sung her a poem. -///- I never told my parents because I have a feeling they will laugh, hard. XD

This is coming from a guy who HATES Valentine's day. >>
