Title: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Insane Steve on February 12, 2007, 10:00:03 AM
This is seriously the worst "holiday" ever, seriously. If you're with someone, you are perpetually bombarded with messages like "BUY CANDY OR DIAMONDS OR LUXURY CARS FOR YOUR SWEETHEART OR SHE'LL HATE YOU" messages. If you're single, you are constantly bombarded with implicit, unspoken "WOW YOU ARE SUCH A LOOOOOOSER!!!!1" messages. Or maybe that's just me being neurotic.

Anyways, if you think the commercialisation of love is a terrible idea and you feel the need to rant about it, here's the place.

I'm sick of these silly Valentine's Day gifts that seem oh-so-original, but aren't original at all. Also, candy hearts are flavorless, and are pointless unless they also give good effects. And I can't get this one off the candygram.

I hate the commercialism crap myself. All I did was send my soul mate a rose this year, but I shouldn't matter what I do since we were already pretty close as friends. Actually, I remember reading in one of those ridiculous "Valentine's Day gift guides" that giving them one rose means you're a cheapskate. Better yet, does anyone even remember who St. Valentine is?

Yeah, but then what? They get locked away again waiting for the next holiday, never to be seen weekdays again, not even being released in DVD sets.

I think I'm going to spend that day spamming my friends' inboxes with Yuri and Lolicon. Then I'll await their responses.

At least in high school they don't make you give cards to everybody in class. The candy wasn't even good--does anybody REALLY like those flour-flavored hearts with the corny messages on 'em?

Let's all get one thing straight.  They're NECCO wafer flavored.  And yes, it's the same company.  All you have to do is take your crappy flavor whatsit and mold it into heart shape.












NECCO!

I like the ones that actually have flavor, you know what I'm talking about.  Anyone remember my quote for the true meaning of Valentine's Day?  Something about the sale on candy the day after.

So...our school is having this "stoplight" day on Valentines' day where you wear an orange shirt if you're "taken," yellow if you're "friends", or green if you're single.  You can guess which color I'll be wearing.

You know what I hate most about Valentine's Day? All the anti-Valentine's Day sentiment. I agree, it is an utterly useless holiday, but I have grown deathly tired of all the supposedly ironically humorous "I HATE U" and "LUV SUX" candy heart gags, among other things. Exposing Valentine's Day as a stupid holiday is about as important as stressing that the Easter Bunny is a heartless scam to get folks to buy candy eggs; we all know it, so harping on the point is, well, pointless.

Of course, I do like taking advantage of Valentine's Day to build up a positively ridiculous stash of candy like I do with Halloween.

This is a February 15th tradition for me. More important in my mind than anything a card company can fabricate. Maybe this will change if I actually love someone, but until then, Valentine's Day is societal loathing and 80% off candy conversation hearts.

Man, I hate those things. They're called "Sweethearts," but I'd call them "Powdery Tacky Bad Heart Shaped Novelties." I do love Lifesavers, though, and my grandmother gave me a whole box of them for the upcoming Valentine's day.

On the subject of commercialism, I do disapprove of it. But I mostly am pretty apathetic towards it.

The candy on VD is just another way to destroy a holiday that used to be about something else. Like Easter, it has seen people who want to make it all about gifts and candy ruin the spirit. This used to be about  Saint Valentine, now it's about satisfying your girlfriend with crappy chocolates, or face certain doom. For this reason I am happy I'm single.

Yes, valetine's day (notice how I don't care for it so much that I don't even capitalize it) has to be the worst holiday ever.  The only thing it does is remind me how far behind I am in love, and how far ahead all other people are.  What else can I say?  Uh, I'm in 11th grade, and I have yet to find a girlfriend.  Pathetic I know, but whats even more pathetic is that I barely talk to more than 2 girls throughout a whole school day, and I never have an actual real conversation with one unless it is online (and yes some of them are girls I actually know), hey its a start I guess.  I just don't want to die before I find someone, I feel like time is running out.

As I stated in the other thread I took this day to confess my feelings for someone I cared about. That is what V-day should be about. Even though you can still do that on any other day of the year...

So...our school is having this "stoplight" day on Valentines' day where you wear an orange shirt if you're "taken," yellow if you're "friends", or green if you're single.  You can guess which color I'll be wearing.

Last year, everyone in my school wore pink and red. Back then I hated Valentine's Day and vowed to wear blue next year to express my disdain for the holiday, if you can believe that. :P

AHHHHHHH STOP WITH THE "I need a girl" CRUD.

It's NOT pathetic that you've never had a girlfriend at this point in time. It's perfectly fine. You (and now CTOAN) are getting on my (and I'm sure others') nerves with complaining about it.

It's exactly as Sapphira says. If you're not content with being alone, you'll NEVER be content with a significant other. Be patient. You'll find one later on, and you'll see that girls, when you get older, will actually start to look for people with personality, not looks.

I feel like time is running out.
It definitely isn't. As I said, you have plenty of time. It's not like your whole life will end after high school. That's when it actually STARTS (well, it should).
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Insane Steve on February 12, 2007, 10:44:59 PM
Dude, I'm three years older than you and by default am just as inexperienced with women.

It's not so much that time is running out, which it isn't, it's just that there's this weird social viewpoint that males over a certain age (which seems to get lower and lower as time goes on) that haven't had a girlfriend are somehow pathetic. This viewpoint starts from other guys who are more experienced, so to speak, and if you get even older (I don't know, 23-25?) it extends to any girls you might want to date. Not to mention that the longer you're single and not particularly satisfied with it (and it tends to weigh you down emotionally), the less likely it is that your personality will attract women.

I'll put it this way, though. I'll be extremely disappointed if I go from single to having to raise kids (at age 30+, I am not going to try and raise children before then) without having some fun first, so to speak. Though it seems this is the path my life is taking to this point.

1. Idiots for thinking it's bad that you don't have a girlfriend (see: ssM)
2. Idiots for thinking that if you have a girlfriend she will automatically be shallow enough to hate you if you don't waste your money (though I guess a lot of girls in high school are like that ? )
3. Idiots for thinking societal "standards" matter at all
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Sapphira on February 13, 2007, 12:54:43 AM
I don't think anyone understands anything about relationships at all.

Not all people are shallow.
You don't need to be in a relationship to be happy.
Relationships aren't automatically time, money, and energy-wasting, and if you feel like they are, you have no perception of what love really is.

Why do people have such clashing views on them? You guys seem to either be desperate to be in relationship or  are appalled by it.

My advice? If you're in high school (or younger), you're likely not ready to be able to handle a mature relationship. And even if you are, which is unlikely (heck, many ADULTS aren't mature enough), almost none of your peers are--including potential girlfriends/boyfriends.

In general, until you grow into a person who is no longer selfish, thinking first and/or only about yourself, you're not capable of loving another person, and therefore shouldn't even worry about relationships. At all.
Not wanting to "waste your time" with relationships is a selfish attitude, resenting "having to give" something is selfish, wanting to be in one because everyone else is and/or you want to feel better about yourself is selfish, automatically doing or rebelling against something that society deems normal/right without forming your own personal outlook is selfish, loathing yourself is selfish.

How do you break selfishness? Start loving others, caring for them, regardless of who they are. Don't think of what they've done for/to you or have to offer you; it's irrelevant. This includes loving yourself.
When you stop focusing on yourself and what you want (that doesn't mean ignore or neglect yourself; notice I said focus), you can begin to love, and when you love, the selfishness melts away. Not to mention you grow as a person. And you know what? When you're unselfish and love others unconditionally, people notice. People are drawn to (attracted to) it, become drawn to you.

I'm still working on growing, learning to love and not be selfish. I have a ways to go still. I'm also not worrying about (romantic) relationships, either, at least trying not to (V-day hype makes it more challenging). I guess I'm taking my own advice: "until you grow into a person who is no longer selfish . . . [you] shouldn't even worry about relationships." ;)

I have yet to fall in love, 'cause that's not really my thing. I'm like a bachelor, sort of-ish kind of. Well, I would be, if girls weren't so icky. In fact, on Valentine's Day, I'm just going to make a big treehouse, and it'll have, like, the biggest-est tire swing EVER, and there won't be any girls allowed. That is, if it all goes according to plan...

Oh, plus it'll have rockets.

Then suddenly I ran into this girl who had more in common with me than any other girl I've ever known, and I care lot about her. She isn't one of those other girls that were mentioned in this thread, she's.... different.

"Tacky Heart Shaped Novelties" sounds about right. They are kind of tacky, and after eating an entire box of them, your fingers are left all dusty and smell of Heart candies.

On a related note: Somebody should tell the owner of that Says-it site (Church Sign Generator) to add the Heart candies to the list of things users can customize. Users could make the message, then choose the color of the font, and the color of the heart. Good times! :D

Your homophobia is beginning to make me sick. You can love someone of the same gender and not be a homosexual. It's only when you are sexually attracted to a person of the same sex. Oh and SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IS NOT A HOMOSEXUAL He's a sponge and therefore asexual. He even says in one episode that he reproduces by budding.
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Vidgmchtr on February 14, 2007, 06:13:06 AM
Completely missed that one...

Oh CTOAN those examples you gave in that other thread that apparently "proves" the character's sexuality are bunk, just to back up SolidShroom a bit. I'll bring a few up, but make the text size a bit smaller as to not distract the people from the actual topic of this thread.

Quote from: cantthinkofaname
I hate Spongebob. Not just because of how childishly sickening and demented it is, but because I've noticed many areas in the cartoon that are homosexually suggesstive.

Spongebob: Let's promise never to fight again.
(Spongebob and Patrick hold hands)
So they're holding hands. Both characters have a child-like demeanor and many children of the same gender think that it'd be okay to hold hands. I'm sure even YOU thought this was okay when you were about the age of 4 or 5. This IS a show for younger children, so the main characters usually have to relate to their audience in SOME way.

Quote from: CTOAN
Spongebob: Patrick, why did you take off your pants?
Patrick: This stuff (invisible spray) stains clothes.
Spongebob: Good thinking! (takes off his pants)
Um....okay. Again, another thing little children like to do, strip in front of each other. They don't know any better, and I'd say that really isn't a good reason that makes Spongebob a homosexual. The characters are anatomically incorrect anyway, why bother?

Hm....
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Pt_Peach on February 14, 2007, 08:42:16 AM

Nothing really happened that good today. Cried a few times. Got yelled at. Someone was putting their granola bar crumbs on me. I joined the ranks of the capital letter people. Did social studies. Couldn't think of anything to write in my blog.

Also, I can't believe you've all been talking about Spongebob and valentines and no one ever brought this lulzy material up:

Spongbob is asexual and use of the "G" word as an insult is stupid. Can we move on?


Anyway, Valentines Day for me was..........okay, I guess (I know I said it sucked, but it wasn't that bad). Everything was normal.....actually, it was better 'cause the girls at my school were dressed in some pretty awesome stuff. After school I went to church, and that was it. So it wasn't all bad.

I ended up eating a cookie off the ground.  Someone also left a tin of half-eaten cupcakes lying around.  I had a piece of one.  A girl gave me a lollipop, as she was giving them to everyone.  One friend shared his birthday cake and candy because it was his birthday.

In conclusion, I ate unhealthy things today(for some cases in an unhealthy fashion).  Why is Valentine's Day more about food?  I wanted to see more flowers or heart-shaped things that look romantic.  I guess one can't be picky when dealing with holidays.  It's also Black History Month and Healthy Kid's Food Month or something.  I guess February really needed some hype.

I didn't have school yesterday, so my Valentine's Day activities ended up being going into town for a banquet that got cancelled, and playing MKDD with my girlfriend and one of her crazy friends. I have a feeling all the little kids are going to be doing card-giving today, which means I'll need my MP3 player more than ever so I won't have to listen to them babbling on the bus ride home (and since I forgot my player at my girlfriend's crazy friend's house, I didn't have it in the morning to block out crappy music help me stay sane).

How is February boring? It gets an extra day every four years, leading to confusing birthdays for the unprepared. Also, regarding Markio's comment, I saw plenty of hearts, though they didn't look romantic, floating off into the air the way they were. Also, heart-shaped moon. It wasn't eclipsed.

Some of the other students asked if we were "going out". I still haven't quite grasped the concept of "going out", and I'm unsure if she and I are actually a couple. :P

I hate how anything that has to do with being white, and starting a seperate white group is racist.  I hate it how people geralize white people who want to get ahead in life as racist.  I read a story of a highschool where there was heritage groups for people of different races (Asian, African, Jewish...And so on)  well one person realized there wasn't anything special for white people, so they made a group for white people (keep in mind it was not racist, it was only for students with caucasian descent)  The group was seen as racist brought to coart, and they made them abolish the club or group.  That is ridiculous.  Why is it that when a white person sais the N word, it is seen as racist, yet a black person can say cracker or honky and get away with it?
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Glorb on February 16, 2007, 05:48:04 PM
Well, yeah, it's a big stupid issue in my opinion. I think the reason that the N word is bad (which is why we have to call it the N word, instead of its actual name) is because it has a grisly history to it involving slavery, lynchings and all kinds of horrible stuff. On the other hand, being called "cracker" is hardly offensive because white people were never persecuted in the way African-Americans were. That said, both are racial slurs and thus inherently offensive because the point is to insult or demean someone because of the color of their skin.
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3

We don't have to call it that. "******" (or any other word, for that matter) is not bad unless it is being used as a racial slur or in an otherwise offensive manner.
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on February 16, 2007, 06:51:52 PM
It's about who is saying what to who.  A guy could say N_____ to someone he knows as a term of connection, as a friend, and the other person wouldn't think anything of it.  It would just be another way of greeting or general speech.  That can go with any word or term that is found offensive.  But if the same person walked up to a stranger and called them something, even if it wasn't meant as a slur or insult, would likely be taken as such.  It really depends on who you speak to.

Also, I agree that having a month dedicated to "Black History" is racist.  I remember last year some celebrity, I think Samuel Jackson, had a fit because everyone should remember their history all the time.  I had more to say, but the prospect of food has thrown my train of thought off.
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: superstarMASIAH on February 16, 2007, 07:05:33 PM
Yeah, why can't there be a "White History" month?  Because everyone else would think its racist.  See white people can't celebrate being white and catch a break for once without being racist, its always racist racist racist.  Only the white man can be a racist, atleast thats what the media tells me.
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on February 16, 2007, 07:12:40 PM
Not quite what I was trying to say, but, alright.  I meant that there shouldn't be any month to celebrate one particular group.  It should be something we all think about, not just 30 or 31(or 28, in this case) days, but rather it should be something we find important enough to remember every day.
Title: Re: <X3 Valentine's Day Thread <X3
Post by: Pt_Peach on February 16, 2007, 08:32:16 PM
I don't think there should a certain month to celebrate a certain heritage. People should celebrate their heritage all of the time and not just in a specific month.

I find it amusing how this thread switched from Valentines Day angst to a discussion about February's Black History month and racism.

I still find "cuss" to be weird. I usually say "swear" or "curse".

Though, I've been able to say what I want to say without adding swears in a long time ago. I don't get why people my age insist on dropping the f-bomb in every other sentence. The word is used in the guys' locker room at least over 700 times a day.

What also urks me (as people in #tmk and its various daughter rooms know) is that people start their sentences with the present tense of this word. It has NOTHING to do with the rest of the sentence, it is just there to be there.

For example:
"F-ing, yesterday I was at work when my boss goes "you're fired" and I'm so f-ing p'd."
-OR-
"F-ing you smoke 2 packs a day, HOW CAN YOU RUN THAT FAST?"

I can understand it's in their everyday vocabulary along with other derogatory terms, but using it like that just makes me go AAHHHHH in my head.

Oops, this isn't the ANGST thread...

It's really ridiculous. It's as if everyone in my P.E. class (my only not-honors class as there is not one, what a surprise) has Tourette's Syndrome. A person will say, "F-ing dude it's cold as f-ing H-ll out here, s--t." Confusing, as it's generally believed that Satan's domain is fiery torture. Also, this brand of person also seems to be angry at... everything. For no reason. Like after a fat burrito for lunch we often go to the nearby grocery store where I get some Swiss Cake Rolls, and the people in the alley with food from there (there's no other place to sit, we eat there on occasion) are always throwing things at each other and saying things along the lines of "F- YOU B-!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sadly, most people are like this.
...I'm afraid that I hate most people. What to do...
...Oh right, it's because I live in a realization of Rogueport in the middle of nowhere, basically. Though from what I can gather, many places are like this. Is Canada?
