So, I have been wondering; since Valentines Day is fast approaching, does anyone have any plans for it?

SirSlappy · Post by **SirSlappy** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:20 am

I plan on celebrating it like I do every year. Relaxing and playing video games.

Wanderer · Post by **Wanderer** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:24 am

If I recall correctly, valentine's day is two weeks from now.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:19 pm

I dun really celebrate it. Dun see much of a need to anyways. ^^; I will just carry on with my day as per usual.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:26 pm

Hopefully going out with my mate, but I dunno. It's kinda a dumb holiday.

Just whatever I can do with my mate. I agree, it is a dumb holiday, and all it really does is mark a high point of chemicals that stir lust and romantic interests. It's only a big deal becauseit's a chance to market products in stores.

Your BIRTHDAY was a dumb holiday. >:T

I don't know that either means "Sleet you should never have been born" which is harsh or "Sleet birthdays are stupid" which they kind of are but that's not an insult.

um.

Anyway I will be going to that dance thing maybe.

Also I don't really get that, saying it's a dumb holiday. I think it's not any dumber than any other holiday and it's pretty boss so you can all shush or not really either way is fine with me.

I think most people think of it as a pretty lame holiday because it doesn't really serve as anything more than an excuse for all the tween couples to brag to their friends about who they got a date with. Outside of that context, I agree that it's pretty similar to a lot of holidays in that it's just a blatant reminder to do something that you really should be doing all year around (in V-day's case, doing something romantic or nice for your partner).

It's what a lot of holidays have been reduced to of late, but meh. I don't care much either way because I've never had a partner to share Valentines with.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:00 pm

I never said it was a terrible holiday, I just personally dun celebrate it. It is a holiday for only a few that do have love. Those without relationships or something can just send cards to those they know, that is about it. ^^;

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:10 pm

Psykeout was referring to Sleet's post.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:20 pm

He technically said "you all" in his post. XP Any-who, the holiday is a matter of opinion. You like it or not, depends highly on your situation. :3

I thought it would have been pretty obvious that by "You all" I would mean the people who think that the holiday is stupid.

I think it's a great holiday because love is pretty cool stuff yo. u_u

I don't mind Valentine's day, but I think it's silly when people drag Elementary School kids into it

Why anyone would think first graders would care about a holiday dedicated to romance is beyond me
I only ever distributed paper valentines because I assumed it would be rude not to
I didn't care about getting them and I didn't really know most of the people I gave them to.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:51 pm

Pretty much. Granted, if someone were to get me one of the Housepets! cards that Rick's made in past years or a FiM V-day card, I'd be pretty excited about it. :3 If only because it would let me indulge in my current fascination with both.

Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:55 pm

my elementary school was worse. they handed out a list of all of my classmates and basically said "give all of these people Valentine's Day cards"
no one got left out, but it was a completely pointless exercise.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:57 pm

Yeah I always thought that was silly and uncalled for.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:15 pm

Personally, I don't care for Valentine's day, its just a day like any other to me.

So true.. i'm just going to wait it out then go buy the discounted chocolate later on

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:28 pm

In elementary schools the policy tends to be "Give everyone cards or no one cards." I find the whole practice silly and worthless. I wish I had kits, because then I could send them to school with the snarkier Housepets! ones.

Watch all my friends fill my newsfeed with angsty passive agressive facebook statuses.

I think it's a silly holiday, but I suppose it's no worse than any other holiday and alot of people have fun with it so I'm pretty neutral on the whole issue.

I think ill just take a picture of the cards and then post it on fb tagging everyone i know. With the elementary thing, it was very akward, especially when you ran out of best friend cards and only had the love ones left

I've always wanted to send an anti-valentine card to someone, but I've never had JUST the right type of animosity with anyone.

I can see it now
a dimly lit hole in the wall cafe somewhere

"The thing is I hate you, I really do, but I don't know if I hate you enough to take that next step."

Haha school-sponsored holidays?
Valentine's day isn't really celbrated here, besides like 4 people that celebrate on their own.

I KNOW!
In Rome, every man had to serve in the legion. But, you could get out of service by getting hitched, and the laws were so vague you could marry a tree if you wanted to, and so every man got married and the legion was in shambles. So they outlawed marriages of all kinds. Saint Valentine comes along and says "Thats not right!" and starts illegally marrying people, he was caught, arrested, and I think executed. If I remember correctly, in his cell they found the words 'remember your valentine' which is why Valentin's day is all about being with your boyfriend, girlfriend, mate if you want to use that term, and there. Saint education from The Saint himself.

@GreyWolverine That's AWESOME! I did not know that at all! I had heard of Saint Valentine, but I didn't know the story behind him! Thank you!

Me personally, I guess for Valentine's Day I'll just wait for that special someone to wander into my life.

Until then...

It's off to the theater to see "The Woman in Black!" <^.^>

See, I'm disturbing, nice, evil, armed with a large arsenal of cute videos, and educational!

Also, tell me how The Woman in Black is, I'm thinking about maybe seeing it. On Valentin's day, I'm thinking of seeing The Grey, tomorrow I'm thinking of going to Chronicle, so I'll be sure to talk about it a bit, maybe make a review of it, who knows.

I will. I heard it is EXCEPTIONALLY well done. And, I also heard Daniel Raddcliff is also very good in the film.

The Grey was AMAZING! Liam Neeson's acting ability is, in my mind, almost unbeatable and so off the charts, it can often times put actors like Leonardo DiCaprio to shame.

Randomextra · Post by **Randomextra** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 1:22 am

The grey had good story, you should watch it. The ending was amazing.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:08 am

I kind of want to see the grey, but not bad enough to go see it before it's on netflix.
But it sounds like it'll be worth a look when I find an oppurtunity to watch it for free/cheap.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:16 am

I really want to see The Woman in Black and The Grey. I saw Chronicle tonight and it was pretty good.

sonic id furreh!!! · Post by **sonic id furreh!!!** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 6:28 pm

ai wanna see the women in black because Daniel Radcliffe is in it :3

also ai the house to myself now l3

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 6:43 pm

Any other movies out there you guys interested in seeing? Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close looks really good. So does Red Tails and War Horse.
