I need a shirt like that... And what's "stoplight day"? Sounds like something that'd make my blood boil...

Stoplight day is a day where you wear a different traffic light color depending on relationship staus.

Red = taken

Yellow = friendship/complicated

Green = single

and of course...my alternative (my t-shirt.)

I would quit school if they had that. It's just stupid. I don't care about some stupid love holiday anyway. If you love someone, show it to them every day, instead of celebrating some stupid holiday to do it.

Let me get this straight. If you wear green, it also means you have no friends?

Harsh.

Actually, to be honest, this is the first time I'm not spending this holiday by myself (though I probably wouldn't care much if I was, this day is pretty much just another day for me).

I've kept it from most people, but for a month or so now I've been speaking with a guy who is really nice, and has a lot in common with me. He used to live in my area, but now lives in the city, yet comes back here periodically to visit his old friends here, and I'll be meeting him tomorrow to do stuff. =D

(Mainly, going out to eat something like Burger King, returning to my house for some Wii playing, and then a movie, possibly.)

I've got a feeling most couples are spending the holiday tomorrow rather than today, being a Thursday and not a Friday/weekend.

That reduces love to a feeling, something which it is not.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of love Koopaslaya is talking about here.

People of both sexes: get ready to feel like crap if you aren't in a relationship!

Nah.

this being the first time I've been in a relationship on February 14th...

Valentine's Day still sucks and is a pathetic excuse for a holiday.

As for "tag team brainwashing", I think Sweetest Day is hilariously worse than today only because it has no shame at all admitting it's a ruse to sell cards/candy and there's STILL people who get mad if their ~~boyfri~~ s/os don't buy them things.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #157 on:** February 15, 2008, 01:56:16 AM »

Still no one's really answered my question of: if Valentine's Day sucks so much, for instance, which holidays are legit and why?

In my humble opinion, any holiday, no matter what its deal is, is cool because it's still an excuse for the day to be different and an excuse for stuff to get interesting. Heck, I wish every day had some random theme with maybe one generic day off per week to rest.

They're all truly dumb reasons if you dig down enough.

Yay we stole a continent from the American Indians?

Yay a guy supposedly rose from the dead (zombie)?

Yay give each other gifts because we're in the middle of freezing winter and have no crops and would commit suicide otherwise?

Yay let's celebrate labor by not working?

Come on people. Stop whining every single holiday because you have to buy crap for greedy people. It's just how it works. Like taxes for your social life.

Here's an answer then.
Holidays that primarily revolve around commercialism suck.
I'm not implying anything about other holidays.

Wait, so do they encourage this, or is it some "underground" thing? Well, either way, it reminds me of greenlighting and jelly bracelet codes... in a less smutty way, of course.

So I went to Walgreens' and there were no candy hearts. However, there were boxes of Fun Dip adn candy braclets for super cheap so yay.

I plan to go out to Target with the g/f for more candy.

MEGAß¥TE · « **Reply #161 on:** February 15, 2008, 04:37:34 PM »

That reminds me about the scene at Target Wed. night. I found the Valentine's section. One side of the shelves had been stripped completely clean. In the other aisle was a crazy mob of all ages ransacking the remaining candy.

Insane Steve · « **Reply #162 on:** February 18, 2008, 04:51:50 PM »

Oh, the g/f and I went on a post-Valentine's Day candy buying road trip to every Walgreens' we can find.

Final haul:

8 24-pack boxes of Fun Dip
12 large bags of candy conversation hearts
7 24-pack boxes of candy necklaces
3 rather larger chocolate assortments
1 really, really cheesy looking DVD of Mario cartoons made in 1990

overall cost: ~$70. only $45 without the chocolate and the DVD

picture to come soon

Sounds like a great day for you and your girl. =3

Yeah, who are you and what have you done with Insane Steve??

In conclusion: Screw talent, if you want to go far in life, make connections and play to everyone else's unfounded predjudices. It'll take you a lot farther than wasting your time making yourself a better person.

Ah, there we go.
