So, it's February 14th, which means that it's now time for the vast majority of my friends on Facebook to complain about how they are dissatisfied with their relationship status. Personally, I think Valentine's Day is pretty darn commercial, but it's a great excuse to shower my girlfriend with love. (other excuses: Birthday, Christmas, Thursday). Anyone have thoughts on Valentine's/Singles Awareness/Buy Hallmark/Complain about relationship angst day?

This is my obligatory monologue about how you should love your significant other every day, not just today.

This is my obligatory overly bitter monologue that I try not to make seem bitter about being single on this day again, but no one is fooled.

This is me cursing and storming off to my cave of bitterness and contempt.

This is my obligatory "everything will be fine, you'll find your someone someday" response to lp.

Yay! Everything in this topic (including this post) is a giant stereotype! Even everyone trying to be ironic! Yay!

Calling Valentine's Day S.A.D. is like calling Christmas Jewish Kids Awareness Day. Celebrate it if you want, and don't be a wet blanket otherwise.

All these post just exasperate the fact that 99% of the people on this form are male...

It's a 9.7:1 ratio, and if I remember my conversions correctly, that makes it so 970% of the people here are male.

Oh, I way over estimated

Good point. In that case let me point out to the youngens, treat everyday with your special someone as though it is Valentine's Day. The big issue I have with Valentine's Day is that I see a lot of men I know personally fall back on the notion that they don't have to show a lot of love and respect to their significant other on the little things everyday as long as they do it up right on February 14. Very. Bad. Idea.

I'm curious how many people know the true story of Valentine's day?

I seem to remember it involved a lot of death.

You might be thinking of the St. Valentines Day Massacre in which case isn't part of the origin

For 28 more minutes. If you have a significant other, now is the time to beg for forgiveness

Was only kidding. Valentine's day (Every holiday for that matter) this year lasts almost 2 days for me since my "significant other" is currently residing on the other side of the world. Next year it shall be different.

Ana Ng is a great song by the band They Might Be Giants. One of their best works, along with No One Knows My Plan, I've Got a Match, and of course Birdhouse in Your Soul.

When it comes to They Might Be Giants, I've gotta go with their song Istanbul.
