WantanS4 Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I have a feeling, no I KNOW this place is going to get swamped. People are gonna cry... some will laugh.... others will just sigh. So, which one are you? I'm laughing, cause I know da b!tch is expecting something from me..... and it ain't going to happen. hahahahhaa............
LucreziaBorgia Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I'm pretty stoked. Romance isn't an everyday thing for me and Mr. B, but today I woke up and there was an arrangement of Hershey's Kisses on the table in the shape of a big heart with two roses in a vase in the middle: one for me and one for the little Miss B. I thought that was sweet. Literally. I've eaten one or two of the kisses. We have funny "cheapass gifts" for each other: he gave me a cell phone (which came free with his cell phone plan) and I am picking him up something with a gift card that I got for Xmas.
tattoomytoe Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 i am pissed already! i asked my bf is he could give $40, as he owes me money and since he just got his state refund back (he gloated to me). he gets all poopy, saying he can barely afford to feed himself and blah blah...i live at home. where is all my money. he says he is paying me back with his fed. refund (the big bucks). but he wants me to get doinner or make it, but i have no money till thursday! so i do not know what his f#ucking problem is!
tattoomytoe Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Originally posted by Pocky I thought you lived with your boyfriend. i did until nov. of last year. i moved out cause i could not afford my part of the rent as well as pay my bills.
Barby Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 So, which one are you? I'm just one of the mellow ones..no laughing, no crying, no being pissed! I wonder what my ex (Oscar) is doing and Pray that he's happy...but I couldn't care to much about V-Day or "romance"
aarsky Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 One day of the year does not confess your love for someone. valentines day is nice, but if you truly love someone then any day of the year should be valentines day and you should do something special for your significant other any time you feel the need.
Weird Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 V-day is the silliest manufactured holiday and it annoys me so many people get into some big huff over it and get all depressed if they don't have soemone there in thier life or whatever else. I need to start a new cultural holiday and rake in the cash from the suckers who buy into it like it actually matters. BTW, I'm in the camp that if you love someone you show them every day not just one day. I have thought Vday was silly sicne 1st grade...
Naive Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 I am the one that is going to be full on Valentine's Day!!!!! My bf/hubby is taking me to a nice dinner near the beach and you know all the works So I am going to enjoy this VD!!!! Woo Hoo because for a minute there I thought I was going to be a lonely person this VD AGAIN!!!! Not that there is anything wrong with that but enough is enough I need someone to love and to love me!!!!
moon Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 The day isn't over yet, but for some reason I feel okay. I don't miss my ex much today. I occassionally have this astute sense of what my ex is feeling or doing. I occassionally get the vibe that he's just forgotten all about me (or consciously trying) and gone on with his life, but this morning I got the sneeking feeling that out there was a man who once love me who actually felt a little sad today. And that feeling has stayed with me all day. Not that it matters. Or maybe I just don't care anymore. I rounded off my day today with a therapy session. Will end the night with a party at a family member's house. So it all seems okay today. I have had worse Valentine's Days.
Three of Swords Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 V. Day - definately a highly manufactured holiday. I just love to think about all the dollars being dropped today in an effort to 'prove' your love or one-upmanship whichever the case may be. That being said - I am going to laugh, cry and sigh. I am going to be all over the map. I had a totally awsome trip to Toronto and the show (Mudvayne) was wonderfully excellent. Got to meet the lead vocal fellow - and he was HOT. The show was definately well worth going to. = Smile (close to laugh) Only thought about my unrequited love maybe 5 - 6 times (in 4 days that is total progress) = sigh. Toronto was a reality check though. There are homeless in E-town, but they generally seem to find someplace out of the public eye to sleep (out of sight is out of mind). In Toronto you see this rounded lump of blankets over-top of the subway grates. My son and I being of similar mind, gave some of our cash to several people we encountered. - sigh Came back Saturday morning and who should come to my apartment that night but the aforementioned unrequited love (lets call him URL for the sake of brevity). He was accompanied by other persons who needed to see me about something. Said other persons are not aware of my feelings for URL as far as I know. But he is = sigh! All of them were going out to a club, but never invited me along = sigh again!! This visual sighting of the URL set me back about 10,000 steps in the road to recovery. Had a bit of a sob afterward = cry!! Found out this weekend that my former husband may have a new woman in his life - they are at the moment apparently "just friends". I am fairly cool with that - after all I wish him well. May absolve me of some of that residual guilt I have about leaving him, if he finds someone to make him happy. But also there is a niggle of resentment as well as he may have found someone to replace me and I am still all alone. = sigh. Worked both jobs today - which was a very very good thing. Less time to think about my plight. At my second job, I work with really terrific people - and we joke around alot = laugh. On my way home I encountered about 4 or 5 limos whisking more fortunate individuals to their evenings of monetary excess. All that love going 'round and none for poor little ole me - sigh! My dear son was told today that he was laid off from hi job without notice - dam^. Double sigh!! Happy V. Day to him. Totally crazy day. So how am I going to spend the remainder of this wonderful (read with sarcasm please) manufactured measure of how loveable I am - I ate a huge bowl of popcorn, drank one Corona, stopped by to commisserate on LS and shortly I am going to go to the gym to exercise my deamons on the treadmill and read some more of the nasty book that is this month's read for my newly joined book club - sigh. In case anyone is interested the book is Trading Up by Candace Bushnell. I cannot stand the main character. Am about 3/4 of the way through and still waiting for the plot to redeem her. Reading back in this post I notice that I am mostly sighing. Oh well - sigh! Thanks for listening all! Having you all here as support is definately a smile. Take care. B.
FreeMe Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Valentine's day isn't a manufactured holiday. It's based on an actual saint just like Saint Patrick or Gennarro. The Valentine's day tradition goes back to Roman times. Here's a link to the History Channel website on it. It's got 3 pages of info. Of course, it's hyped up even more by jewelry stores, florists, and card stores but what holiday isn't? http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/valentine/index.jsp?page=
Mz. Pixie Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 I had a wonderful day! BF and I can't be together until this weekend as both of us are with our kiddos this week. He came by work and left me flowers on my car, candy, a stuffed animal and just the best card! I would have taken just the card because it was so perfect for our situation. I agree that you should show the person that you love that you love them everyday- but this is our first Vday together so it was pretty special!
VirginiaBob Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 I like valentines day because the candy is 75% off afterwards and I'm a sugartooth.
