    Then I saw it was in the ladies lounge and thought 'vagina day'... hmm wonder when thats on.


    I wondered if I was the only one.:)

    On Valentines day I will be reflecting on the many reasons why I don't have a boyfriend, possibly before crying myself to sleep. Or maybe I'll go skiing.

    I shall be in the final stages of my (carefully planned) firebomb campaign of Hallmark hq and all the card shops that fill their windows with cutesy teddy bears.

    Hmmm, there's some banging on the door.....oh, look - the room has filled up with men in black, shouting about being gardai and i should step away from the computer. They want to know where i hid the explosives...

    Well, depending on how long this investigation takes i may have the company of lots of men in uniform on Feb 14th, or the nice women of Mountjoy.

    Ask myself why a wedding anniversary, birthday and Christmas (and numerous random romantic days throughout the year) will not suffice?

    Then try and muster the courage to ignore it once and for all.

    Wish I could give the wimmens here some disgruntled story line bout how I was forgotten, or disappointed but it wouldnt be true.

    If truth be told, I find it awkward and annoying. For those of you who dont, why wait for one day what you can say / do all year round. Why not save ourselves the annual fake suprise, and donate directly to hallmark, interflora, lily o briens and whatever random hotel.

    Just remember that it's my birthday the day before. Looks like I'll be nursing a hangover on Valentines day while crying into my bottle of lonliness. Sweet.

    God knows, hopefully shall just stay in and snuggle up. I dislike valentine's day now. Last year I had a wonderful one and was dumped 3 days after. The year before that I stayed in with ice cream and Love Actually and cried over an ex!

    Everyone loves Valentines Day!

    +1 Id like to go away for Vday. Although Im not particularly pushed if its valentines day when I go away. At the end of the day its one day out of a whole year. Ive plenty of other chances to show how much I love my other half.

    I'll probably spend a lot of the day working up a heavy sweat, take some intermittent breaks for refeeding and rehydrating, have some laughs and some chats, push myself and my partner to the brink and pull back before getting over-tired, then rest a little before starting all over again.



    I'll spend most of the day in the gym - I'll be recovering from my first competition of the year the previous weekend and preparing for the Nationals a few weeks later. There may/ may not be some romantic added extras later in the evening.

    I'm going to Vanuatu around Valentines day. I'm going to be lyig on a white sandy beach, looking out at a tropical island and sipping drinks out of coconuts. It'll be the best!

    We're not going because it's vday though. We don't celebrate it, it just happened the dates worked out that way!

    Last year sucked, woke up with a horrific hangover, was planning on sleeping in but an ex sent flowers (not so 'awww', he's a bad man.) which woke me up early, went to lectures and whatnot. I'm not a very romantic person anymore, that died with my ability to love :p <emo>

    (S)he doesn't have to feel miserable - sure, (s)he can let her/himself cave into the idea that if you're single you're a loser/to be pitied... or, (s)he can have fun with her/his friends.

    nothing im sure! im actually the last single person of my female friends so im guessing ill be lonely somewhere.. or else in the pub with the lads like a usual saturday night.

    being single & not getting a card is a much better option than having a bf & not getting a card.. :o (last yr - stupid boy. im not even mad about vday, all i wanted was a feckin card) i reckon i was far more upset last yr about not even getting the day acknowledged than id ever be about being single on vday, so maybe its safer being on my own :p

    cant say ive ever had an exciting/interesting/romantic vday, maybe thats why im so uninterested in it.

    Considering Christmas, his birthday, our anniversary and Valentines are all within 2 months of eachother I think we have enough on our plate. I'd be very happy with just a card and a rose like last year.
