I figure with the dreaded Valentine's Day coming, many of us will need a place to go to get away from it all.
What is the Valentine's Day equivalent of Bah Humbug? I wonder.

I'm going to try to forget this holiday even exists between now and when it finally goes back into hibernation until next year. It always depresses me worse than any other holiday. :(

2. Mine is on my couch... |

in front of the TV, with a tub of rocky road ice cream.

6. I'll probably be playing Runescape and trying to forget. |
|
I may indulge in a nice vodka and chocolate milk concoction I make sometimes. Then again, I may go all out and make a homemade chocolate shake with Ovaltine and Hershey's syrup instead.

7. I'm alone, and that's the way it should be now.... |

I'm thankful that I never got into Valentine's Day, and always thought it was just a money gimmick commercial type thing. I really tried to ignore it when I was partnered...but it's something one can't really ignore...if that makes sense.
We should show our love daily...
There are many lonely hearts out there... I'm sorry that this makes it a sad day for you... Do something nice for yourself:hug:
peace~

12. I think your sentiments were mainly healthy. |

That's the spirit.
I have nothing against people enjoying Valentine's Day, but there's something to be said for not allowing the calendar to determine how one feels and what one does. Anniversaries, events, holidays, and so forth are meaningful to some and an obligation/cruel reminder to others.
In a perfect world everyone would feel loved and have a peaceful heart. We ain't there yet, and let's try to make it better for those who are hurting.
And that applies to anyone reading this.

14. Thank you for making my day..... |
|
You so eloquently expressed what I was trying to convey....and from the heart. You happened to come out of nowhere just at the right time... I hope that many read your words of wisdom on life and love...
Heartfelt thanks... peace~

What I posted seemed to be dismissive of everyone's feelings... I didn't mean it to come out that way, but after rereading, that's how it sounded. I have a friend in a situation regarding Valentine's Day, and her feelings are very hurt... I should think before typing... I'm probably in the minority with my feelings regarding this day...and now feel that I shouldn't have posted them. I apologize, and don't want anyone feeling badly... please forgive..:hug:
peace~

9. Although I have a girlfriend |
|
it's exceptionally long-distance (she's in New Zealand, me in Texas.) We can't even touch and that's something I miss in a relationship.
We'll probably spend the night on Skype.
Ya know, what the Lounge really needs is a chatroom. Just some flashchat thingy tacked on for instances like this :)

13. If you are not feeling all gushy and happy about the impending doom |
|
that is Valentine's Day, I'd say this thread is for you too.

Seriously, I think I'm going to visit a friend in Newcastle this weekend - really just coincidence, but it works out well.
