hate it more than tax day. I hate it more than Canada Day. I hate it. I'm getting the brush. Again. Right before valentines day. Out of six women I have dated, half now have kicked me to the curb right before valentines day. This makes it twice in a row, actually. Well, maybe I am not officially kicked to the curb yet, but it seems to me that if a person is interested in you, they return your calls and remember who you are on the phone. At least have the common courtesy to tell me you anin't interested anymore. No, I am not drunk, nor am I getting drunk, although that bottle of brandy on the shelf has been staring at me for the past while. This weekend, perhaps. What else am I going to do? Damn it. Damn it damn it damn it. here comes that old numb feeling again. |
|
I'm divorcing Sem when I'm 38 now. |
I've been single EVERY valintines day, and this one will be no different. |
You should hate this day even if you had a girlfriend, even if you had the perfect marriage with the perfect person. You should hate this day because people are making money off of love. That's the only reason you need. |
|
last year i got him a little glass frog prince. |
i think valentine's day should be spent in honor of those around you that you love. it doesn't have to be a significant other. hang out with your friends, take care of yourself. try to do an extra good deed for the day. realize that you love the world, you love your friends, you love yourself. |
i fucking hate valentines. its like a trip to the dentist. I dred it. but i tend to stress and freak easily. the wife's birthday is today so im already in the giving mode. im officially screwing a 30 year old. thats weird. sem the downward spiral starts with you and no one else. bub. i'd strongly suggest not staying in with that bottle of brandy. get out, drive somewhere. do something. |
|
she's doing it herself. the party we are having was her idea. no. not rubbing her nose. more like powdering her ass. |
|
is a woman's ideal reproductive period, supposedly in their early 20s, the same as her so called "sexual prime"? in men, it appears they are one in the same, is this not the case for women? |
|
i've never celebrated valentine's day before. it's a dumb holiday and spider's right - it's just a twisted way for people to make money off of some retarted and unrealistic view of what love and romance ought to be. that said, tomorrow i'm going to make kevin's favorite bbq meatloaf for supper (his mother's recipe), along with asparagus (not because it's supposed to be an aphrodisiac, but because it's is his new favorite vegetable - besides, i'm having my period anyways), and a polenta dish i've been wanting to try for a while. i'm also going to make creme brulee from scratch, because a friend bought for me for xmas the baking ramekins i wanted so badly, and i want to try them out. it's also kevin's favorite dessert. for me i'm making a small fudge cake from scratch. for the record, kevin and i agreed that no candy, flowers, greeting cards, or other gifts shall be bought for this occassion. it won't even be an occassion, only an excuse for me to take time to make a nice dinner and eat lots of dessert. |
|
But I got a card :D And it's really special because it's from someone who would abhor VD from the bottom of his beautiful black heart. That he would put himself through looking at all the tacky cards with vomitous roses and crap, makes me smile. |
|
wow, mark thomas really is a man of many surprises. |
Also, it takes forever to find the right, or at least exceptible, card. |
i mostly think about elementary school, decorating paper bags to hold the scribbly punch-out valentines. i always felt bad when someone [who maybe didn't know me very well] would show up with something like a stuffed bear with hearts on it- i'm not very good at pretending to like things like that. i am not a historically appreciative person, i hope that's changing. |
when its CONSTANTLY SHOVED IN YOUR FACE EVERYWHERE. My boss just got some flowers from his wife which included a cd with Burt Bacharach songs on it. BAAARRRFFFFF. ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH. It's like being a jew on christmas! Fuck you rudolph! |
anyone need a teddy bear with hearts on it? |
You heard about him sending Dave three dozen red roses with 13 inch long stems huh? |
It didn't help that half the women at work were flaunting huge bouquets of roses that their beaus bought for them (I wouldn't be surprised if half of them, they bought for themselves). Why do I even care? I have a husband that loves me, whom I love very much, but for some stupid ass reason I want the traditional bullshit Valentine's gift. Actually, in all honesty, I would just prefer for him to be here. Work sent him out of town for Thursday and Friday, so he left tonight since it's a long drive. It is just so my luck that I get to spend this stupid holiday alone and very sick AND I get to try and take care of my son all by myself (which normally wouldn't be a problem, but with the strep, I'm not really up to it). I was going to have some friends over while he was gone, but now that I am sick I just don't feel like it. I miss him a lot. |
Go on guess. None! Yippie! I have wine, choccy cake, and new episodes of my fav show that haven't screened here yet. What more do I need? |
|
I knew I could count on you. |
no one should ever deny my intuition never ever |
|
i think this guy was pulling one of my gags. what terrorist would buy all those items at the same time? it smells like my apples,carmels,popscicle sticks and razor blades purchase on Holloween gag. |
just wondering. i'm getting zilch for VD this year & i truly don't give a rat's ass. |
|
Its one thing to disagree with it and avoid it, but to say you forgot is moronic. You can't forget it, its everywhere. I got a new 2 man "lover hooka" for V-Day last night and got blasted...thats my girl. last night i took her out to the fantastic italian caffe at the bottom of my hill. It was great, only 3 other tables were occupied. Everyone is saving it for tonight. We always get served well,its a family joint. Northern italian, served by a full figured, saucy, slightly surly italian 20 something who always guesses nico's perfume accurately. Her pop Rosario runs the show, and mama in the kitchen cooks it up. We had a lemmon/fennel/olive oil/ garlic insalate to start. Some tipsy chardonnay...i had pollo picata with spinach and she had the fettucini with a pink cream sauce and shrimp. we topped it off with two espressos and tiramisu that was absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best deserts i have ever had in my entire life. mama even came out to make sure we liked it alright. |
still playing) or watching wrestling and playing my guitar. That's the extent of my plans. One of these years, maybe this day won't leave me feeling so sour. |
|
i used to go to her barbeques in rhode island. |
|
tomorrow i'm going to a show and a valentine's day after party down in southeast. i feel popular. i got a card from the 'rents with $10. i'm going to use it to get some rca cables so i can start fooling around with my various audio equipment and do something cool on my rediculously lo-tech stuff. bah. happy v-day, lovers! send me an email and i'll send you a card (i think i've lost all the email addys i had). |
That's it. I'm going to eat pizza tonight and watch the Young Ones. Then I'm going to watch wrasslin and drink mead. |
|
Although due ot copyright reasons, a couple of the performances had to be edited out (The Special's (or was it Madness) cover of Subterranean Homesick Blues, for example). Gods that series was strange. |
|
|
I'm not sure if its going to repel me or make me want them. |

dave is being so cute and trying to make special plans for saturday night. he wants to go out for a fancy meal, but i'd rather stay in and cook. i'd like to get flowers, but i always like to have flowers around. other than that i could care less. last weekend was so great, i doubt there's anything romantic we could fabricate for this weekend that could even remotely compare to the organic romance and sweetness of the time we spent together last weekend. i am, however, going lingerie shopping in the early afternoon. i haven't splurged on any nonsensible bedroom garments in, literally, years. |
visit is concerned. we are going out for dinner tomorrow, I didn't even consider trying to get a reservation for Saturday. I'd just assume cook then-- maybe a new recipe from one of my fabulous new cookbooks--and avoid other couples. |
|
|
i tried to get Bowie tix for last sat...then my granddaddy died on friday so we would have missed the show anyway. Tony Bennett is at the new disney hall tomorrow, but because we spent an assload of money on airfare to get back to atlanta we have no money. cheap wine, oral sex and some wildflowers from the yard for this BD/V-Day |
happy Valentines Day to San Francisco... how long before Fred Phelps is in the area? |
A"fter Martin, 83, and the 79-year-old Lyon were declared spouses for life, three other couples were lined up, awaiting their turn to take marriage vows. " 83 and 79, and have been married over 50 years.... I can see how this is a threat to the sanctity of marriage. Yep. HA! |

Sssh...don't tell Bush you have Canada Day, though. If he finds out, USA Day of Eternal Patriotism won't be far behind, and it WILL be enforced. that being said, now I will hear about this from Kazu, who likes to tease me about things I said before I met her as if they were still applicable. |
Never frown even when you are sad, Because you never know, Who's falling in love with you're smile !!! A 50 year old ...... |
|
|
I want to spend my 30th on my own. Not. I think you all should email him and convince him to take the day off and spoil me plenty. (I know its not till August, but that gives him loads of time to PLAN). |
Happy birthday to me! in advance! |
|
you're such a sweetheart, J. |
