Anti-Valentine's Day
 

I was just wondering how many people are sick of the holiday that hasn't even happened yet.
Im sick of people trying to get me to buy roses in the student union, I am sick of mushy faced people getting all cozy with each other, Im sick of the girls talking about what thier wonderful boyfriends are getting them...Im sick of white and red and balloons and chocolate and commericals with people getting married....GRRRRRRRRR

I guess im sick of this day the most b/c tommorow I am going to end things with my boyfriend...great huh? Well he graduates in May and I still have a year and we have said that maybe we should slow things down since he is leaving..and hes leaving all the way to germany...and doesn't want to get married so young....SOOOOOO I dunno...

top it off, im sitting in my dorm knee deep in tissues, with the flu...great huh? sooo much fun

so all that added together explains why I hate V-day!

Anyone else wish to share their I hate Valentine's Day woes???
I know I cant be the only one on Greek Chat who is dreading tommorow!

Why are you going to end things tomorrow? That seems funny to choose to do it on Valentine's.

I normally end things as soon as I decide I am going to.

Anyway, I don't really feel one way or the other about the holiday. It's just another day. I mean, yeah, when I have a boyfriend at V-Day, I want him to do something for it, but I expect him to be nice every day.

Tomorrow I'll be doing the usual things I do on Fridays--sleeping in in the afternoon and getting drunk at night.

I see V-Day [or Singles Awareness Day] as capitalistic ploy to rid poor unsuspecting men of their $$$. According to the Man Show [teehee], most men don't give a isht about V-Day. They don't give a isht if their GFs, wives, significant others give them presents. They only get the women presents in hopes of getting laid at the end of the night.

To be honest, I'm sooo looking forward to the Annual Condom Fair being held tomorrow at the Campus Center. Condoms, lubricants, and visual aids. Hooray for safe sex.

Yeah... tommorow I'm ready for a fun evening of getting some....from my organic chemistry textbook.

My roommate keeps complaining about how she has a date with the laundry machine for tomorrow night. One of my other friends volunteered to be scheduled to work tomorrow night just so he wouldn't have to deal with V-Day.

I was very anti-Valentine's Day when I was 14 and 15 but I've found that it's just easier to tolerate it.

This is the first year in the past 4 years that I'm not excited about Valentine's day......

I went to Wally World today and I almost puked in the aisle from all the pink and red crap everywhere. And all the people scrammbling for last minute gifts made me pretty nauseus too.

So, I'll go to school, work and on a "date" with this guy from one of my classes.....hopefully he doesn't think that it's a big deal..oh, well:)

Much Love to all my Single GCers!

I will be at the bars... fun times!

Funny this thread was brought up. My sorority was selling Anti - Valentine's Day grams at our school...on my away msg today i had officially declared today as anit- valentine's day.

so, HAPPY ANTI- VALENTINE'S DAY to everyone! :D

Well, I'm not totally ANTI, but i'm not really pro either. I seriously cannot remember what I did last year this time! I've been seeing how long i can go w/o a date...well not really trying, it's actually quite easy, no work involved....just can't wait to reach the 2 yr mark!

Anyway, tomorrow, i don't have work, so i'll be sitting on my butt, doing nothing all day cuz i have no friends in this "trou" of a town! :rolleyes:

I don't know why (well I sorta do) but I feel depressed this Valentines Day. I started thinking about how a year ago I was engaged and how we went out for the best Valentine's Day dinner and how romantic it was...yada yada.
Yeah, so I'm working on 3 hours sleep, had a hella long day, gotta work Valentine's Day and I REALLY don't feel like putting up with the BS from men who want something that we don't got cuz they were too lazy to buy it Monday (heaven forbid they shop early)...GOD, is this retail season another repeat of Christmas?!?!

Sorry for the ramble but I'm just not diggin' this V-day CRAP!

BUT, my best friend did give me a nice v-day present tonight. It was a mini-rose bush planted with three mini-bar bottles. She said if I can't have 1 man right now I should have three: Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and Jose Cuervo. Thank God for friends :)

Sounds like a wonderful friend!

I have a date with Jim, Jack, and Jose tomorrow night. They always make sure I have a great time.

Hope you enjoy them too!!!

I have a date for Valentine's Day. It's only the second time in my life that that has happened.

We may be a little strange in this... But my girlfriend and I don't celebrate "Hallmark Holidays". Every day should be treated like v-day.. Maybe without gifts and cards though:D

Oh I agree with that. You should tell someone you love them everyday, not just on one day. I'm not a big fan of valentines day. I never have celebrated it, and i promised myself I never would.

Woohoo! Start the bitterness :D

We actually started an annual party last year in the sorority, calling it the "Love Schmove Party". Basically all the single people get together, hang out, drink, bitch, whatever. Couples are allowed, but absolutely NO PDA's.

I can't attend this year, sadly. I'm going to the bar with some people from my law fraternity to do some planning and drinking.

Everyone should have a few shots in them today. And if any of you knew what a wussy drinker I am (i'm NEVER drunk, barely drink), you'd know that takes a lot for me to say!

According to jewelry sellers I'm a bad boyfriend for not buying diamonds on V-Day...

I'd be a bad husband for not buying them on my 25th anniversary...

I think there's now a sponsoring industry for every wedding anniversary:rolleyes:

Sure it's a saint's day almost EVERY day is a saint's day.

I am going out to celebrate my singleness tonight! Wahoo! :)

My boyfriend and I don't celebrate Valentine's day. I actually brought it up as our first V-day was approaching, and he was kind of surprised, but relieved. We have so many holidays grouped together (his birthday in October, mine in November, then Christmas, then our anniversary in March) that it makes sense to skip this one. Plus, I think it's a bad day all around because people who have significant others feel pressured to do something spectacular, and people who are single get depressed because they don't have someone to celebrate with. So, it pretty much makes everyone end up feeling bad, thereby negating the reason for the holiday.

Seriously. My best friend and I are hitting the town dressed to the nines tonight. Most girls I know who don't have a guy on V-Day get all annoyed and do nothing. Most guys don't give a rat's ass. So we're going to go out, look hot, and hopefully meet some new people. To me, "couple" holidays are an opportunity to dress up really nicely (because a lot of people are since they're on "special" dates) and work it like you just can't do in black pants and a halter. There's something about wearing a nice dress that gives me 500 times more confidence, but I'm not about to wear one any old day.

My boy and I usually make a big deal out of things with little cute notes and stuff...I used to be really uptight about us having plans, but I've really mellowed out as I've gotten older.

He's got the double whammy in Feb b/c my birthday is one week after v-day; I get itn Sept - his birthday is 9 days after our anniversary. So, we celebrate everything to keep it even ;)

Its, at its heart, a Hallmark holiday. I try to give *all* my friends valentine's just to let them know I care :)

Everyday for us is Valentine's Day...I'm serious.
April and May are our big months (anniversary, then both birthdays), so what goes on in February isn't a biggie. :p We have our own special day in October, because things are just kind of...dull...then.

I figure that i'll work till 11, and then go home and get royally shithoused while my roommates try to have their V Day celebrations at home. :D

I'm actually kinda down this V Day. Usually i can count on a CARE package from mom on V Day, filled with candy and cookies and lots of other crap i REALLY don't need. THis year she was on the road in Columbus and wasn't able to send it :( She sent a check instead :P

My sorority had a Valentine's Day Curse... every couple broke up around V-Day. I think it was in our bylaws :p

One year, I thought I'd escaped the curse, only to be dumped 3 days after V-Day. :(

The next year was my first V-Day with my now-husband. I was dreading the day, convinced he was going to dump me even though he'd given no sign of wanting to do so... well, far from breaking up, less than a month later we were engaged. :D

Am I the only person curious how Moon did breaking up w/her boyfriend? How did it go???

Sorry if I sound pathetic- it's 2:21 and my boyfriend hasn't even called me today. I have to live vicariously through you guys, single or not.

I like Valentine's Day. It's cute.

Even if I were single, I'd probably do something fun. There's usually a production of the Vagina Monologues going on somewhere. It's a great day for everyone, single or not, to think about what we can do to prevent violence against women. :)

I totally concer. I'm not impressed if a guy remembers Valentines Day and sends me roses. That is so unoriginal. Send me my favorite flower on some random Tuesday or something. That proves that you don't need society to pressure you into showing how you truly feel about me.

A bunch of girls and I are starting our V-Day bitterness early. We're heading to the bar as soon as class is done (at 2 for most of us) and we're just going to have a good time with the girls tonight - after the bar, we're going to a sister's apartment where everyone is just going to party hardcore. I thought that I wouldn't be so bitter, but I got downstairs and we had three flower deliveries in 10 minutes. It's hard not to be a little jaded sometimes. :)

Ick..I hate V-day..no matter what...something always happens to that it will suck.

Case in point:
Last year, my bf lost is scholarship and had to withdraw from school right before V-Day, thereby, throwing our plans out the window. :rolleyes:
This year, yes, same bf, we had everything planned for our nice generic v-day time together. This morning, I get a call saying the courthouse screwed up therefore, he has to go to court to get everything straightened out. So, once again, me and ole TKE209 haved missed out on both of our V-Days. *growls*

Gawd, no matter WHAT something friggin' screws up this d*mn day!!!!

today's a holiday?

Usually I absolutely HATE Valentine's Day since I've never actually been with someone on this day. I thought this year was going to be different b/c I was seeing this guy, we however have been fighting all week, and he's been incredibly mean to me (he told me to my face that I was not as smart as him among other things) So yea I pretty much told him to go to hell and i am no longer going with him to the date party tonight.

HOWEVER, I woke up this morning to one of my roommates saying "Come down you've got a surprise!" My brother, who is a 21 year old junior at the University of Nebraska Lincoln sent me a dozen pink roses! He said that since I didn't have a Valentine he wanted to send me something to make me :D. How AWESOME is that? So that totally made my day, plus I got a B on my psych test that I thought I totally failed, I got cute stuffed animals for all my roomies, and extra credit in all my classes since so many people decided to skip class. So all in all my day has been pretty spectacular for ONCE! I think I finally deserve a semi decent V-Day. To everyone who's having a bad day, cheer up, it can't be all that bad. :D Have a great day yall!

I concur with valkyrie...The Vagina Monologues are a great way to spend a V-day if you're single or attached. I'm not going to my school's performance this year, but I went my freshman year--it was an amazing experience and it got me hooked on discussing women's issues. If your school is sponsoring a performance--GO!

I am going to see Sleater-Kinney tonight with a group of women, even though I am still very involved with my partner. Womyn's music rocks!

My valentine's day started with being semi hung over from the party last night. Just an FYI........... STAY AWAY FROM CHEAP VODKA, BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight, my sisters and I who don't have boyfriends, are having a movie night and sleep over. Plan to watch movies, drink alcohol, eat, and have fun. Now we just need to hire a male stripper and we would be good LOL, J/K :)

Happy Single Awareness Day!
 

Actually I am kinda glad I am single this year. I was attached for the last two, and boy they sucked ass. My ex was as unromantic as they come in terms of gifts. Anyway.

I am kinda sad tho this year. All of my single friends were going to get dinner and then meet back up at someone's apartment, get plastered and watch cheesy movies and make fun of them. I had to come home for oral surgery. Fun for ME! (wasn't that bad tho... I was just on a dentist chair for two hours while they refaced all of my bottom teeth.)

My crush is actually down at a wedding in SoCal for an extended family member. THAT'S gotta be depressing.

Ok, So valentines day wasnt that bad...well kinda..

he showed up at my apartment with the prettiest roses that were light pink on the outside and deep red on the inside and on the tips of the petals..

he took me to this really nice tai resturant..and we got to talking...
he gave me all the wonderful things i wanted to hear..telling me i am the kind of girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with but that the timing of off and that we are still too young, he is being offered a promotion on monday and he said that if he accepts it ...it will be because of me..b/c im the only thing keeping him here..

whatever so we arent excatly breaking up but we are leaving the rest to fate, im just happy cause he isnt going to be leaving right away... but only time will tell..

but i dunno im a very confused girl!!! to stay or leave that is the question.....

my big sister had a shitty day though so after dinner we hit dennys for icecream and chocolate brownie... her date told her his eyes were itchy and that he was going to take a shower and get ready for bed and call her b4 he went to sleep..so she said ok..he never called..so she drove by his place to give him his brownies she had made for him and his card and guess what? his car was NOT there.... soooo she was kinda pissed... to say the least.. so we had an icecream fest.. :)

i hope everyone else had a great anti-valentines day!!! i myself am happy that its FINALLY OVER!!! back to normal life now....

:D

My boy and I are kinda in the same situation as you are, but in reverse. His birthday is a week after V-day. And actually, my blood sister's birthday is the week after his, so February is a big cash-spending month for me. But I don't mind at all. :)

My birthday is the day before Valentine's Day. The guy took me out to dinner on Friday. That was my gift. I wish that he gave me a present to open. Oh well.

Hi I just came back from an Anti-Valentine party and it was the best. I'm going to bed now. I still don't like Valentine's Day but the party was the best.

Bye
Annice22

Yeah I was lonely, drunk and sleep deprived. :(

Valentine's Day . . . beyond the cutesy stuff I do (when I am dating) I normally focus on 20-30 minutes of hard core foreplay and then just go don on her for 5 or 6 hours.

But hey, I do that every day, especially first thing in the morning before she has work or school, oddly she seems to always be in a great mood.

But I guess because I do that every day, in fact sometimes 2 or 3 times daily, that makes me just lame?

Sigh, I'll get it right one of these days.
