If you don't have someone, pick someone! Isn't there someone in your life who will possibly never get a Valentine's Day card, or flowers, or any thing of the sort? Would it absolutely kill you to send an anonymous card or gift? How about picking up a bouquet of flowers at a supermarket, and pass a few out to strangers? Or just bury your own face in the blooms, and let people see how lovely you look while you're beaming with the pleasure of flowers!
Look, you can sit inside and feel sorry for yourself, or you can make the most of the day. I learned this lesson a few years back, and haven't moped on a Valentine's Day since!
It's never the wrong time to make someone else happy!!
eta: In case you think I'm being a hypocrite, I'll be visiting a senior citizen's home, then my mom in the hospital today. Later, I'll indulge in a little chocolate & old movies. But I have this feeling that I'm going to have more fun than those of y'all that are sitting home and moping!

I couldn't agree more...it's just one day people...why begrudge the people who are happily "whatevered" just because you might not have a specific special someone? For many years my special someone was my mom or my sister or one of my girlfriends. I have a BF now, but if it was one day only that he showed me he cared or thought that I was special and acted like a total moron for the rest of the year, what good is that? Why allow yourself or anyone else to feel bad just because you are who you are and you are not with someone else?
YOU ARE SPECIAL TOO! Buy yourself a valentine's card...better yet buy one for your best friend, sig other, sorority sister and get over the hating the "V-Day" madness...
