Your reward however is a hot piece of tail...you just have to pay for it this day (moreso than any other day)

- Flowers
- Card for my wife from me
- Card for my wife from my daughter
- Card for my daughter from my wife and I
- DCD for my daughter from my wife and I
- Dinner
It sounds like a lot, but it\'s all in good fun.

i, for example, got some pictures from our recent trip to florida to see Of Montreal, and had them made into stickers... then i crafted a little mini scrapbook with the stickers and some pretty paper :) also, i made some chocolates myself, and wrapped them in little love quotes, then wrapped them in foil.... then, instead of buying a hallmark card, i printed out a picture of klimt\'s "the kiss" and made my own valentines day card !
its the thought, not the purchase, i think !

aw, valentines day is inspiring, its not about what you buy, its about the thought behind it !

It\'s weird how sometimes gestures of love bring out a pressure situation - "oh I\'ve got to feel this feeling right now, what does it mean if I don\'t really, aaagh".. I could muse further on the "idea"/ideal of love, romance, etc., vs. the reality.. but, nah.
"whatevs" for this year.
My mom always sends me candy :) :) :)
On an unrelated note, a scene from a typical Friday in the Benson lab: a friend in my lab who calls himself "D-ox" got down on all fours and I sat on his back like a horseback ride, and as we crossed over to the door to the hall a professor saw us and gave us a bewildered/incredulous look. oops.

The better the gifts, the worse the state of the relationship
In that case, I need you to explain to my girlfriend that our relationship is fantastic right now... on the road for work for most of the next five weeks. I imagine that we\'ll be celebrating Valentine\'s Day some time around Cinco de Mayo.

We aren\'t celebrating this year, like normal.
Instead we have to go to a wedding. What jackass gets married on valentine\'s day!?!

I have never ever ever liked valentine\'s day ever. its the most overrated holiday crafted using the name of a christian saint. (I\'ll take st. patrick\'s day over this nonsense any day. Give me a present on that day!) i\'d rather get flowers on a random day than on a day that society conforms and tells him he has to. If you love someone, you shouldn\'t have to buy them things to prove it to begin with.

the wedding isn\'t in branford ct is it??? ;) Cause i\'ll be there.
I just think its the worst most cliche day to get married. its meant for soap operas and getting married for free at a town hall....which if anyone runs in the next 30 min., Mayor April can marry you in east haven for free.....

Mom and Nanny still gives me a present each. I will never say no to that. ;)

If you have $240 floating around, this is about as good as it gets on Valentine\'s Day:

valentine\'s day is NOT a holiday. it\'s made up. and for all those men out there that bought their girlfriend crap just to sleep with them...thinka bout it...if you have to buy your girlfriend shit to sleep with them....then maybe you shoudln\'t be with them...isn\'t the best relationship someone who is you friend and your lover....fuck valentine\'s day
Just like every "holiday" is made up. So fuck all holidays right?
Be real. It has basis in tradition as far back as the 14th century and maybe further depending on what history you read.
Yes it has become commercialized but it IS a holiday celebrated in many parts of the world.

More on the topic, I pretty much posted exactly what Jocelyn did as my facebook status today - v-day is a great holiday for girls who are with guys who need a calendar to tell them when to be romantic. Oooh, you mean he really sent you flowers on the same day that every other guy sent their girl flowers?? Omg how thoughtful!!! What a romantic fella!
Meh. Oh, and people who complain about being lonely on v-day - give me a fucking break. Seriously, you don\'t have to be alone. Sit tight, I just have to finish throwing together the fucking noose. I\'ll be right over with it. Fucks.

You would be somewhat correct in that recollection. There are a bunch of St. Valentine\'s but yeah some of the tradition is based on their martyrdom.

Phew!

Not for nothing but we buy them shit all the time trying to sleep with the ladies. Hookers are just more upfront about it and you know the business relationship prior to forking over your $$$.
