<div class="IPBDescription">Survived Valentine's day w/o being sad</div>Hooray. Today marks the first Valentine's Day in which I was able to say "meh" and go on with things rather than think about how lonely I am.
I don't believe in Valentine's day...so there's no reason for me to feel sad.
[as stated in a previous post:] There's no point in me believing in saints, or their holidays. In fact, the only saint I remotely care about is St. Anne, who's saint's day is July 26th, which is my birthday. I only care about that in itself because: It's my birthday AND Anne is my favorite female name <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
I don't know what this Saint Anne did or anything, don't really care much either. I'm sure Valentine didn't save world hunger or anything, or help a couple poor kids like St. Nicholas...so who cares about him?
Thus, that's what I'm going to tell any girlfriend I have (...which is none so far <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) that I don't believe in the aspect of Valentine's Day. Therefore, if they really feel so inclined, I'll get them something extra, on a random day when they look sad, or on their birthday.
18 years old, and the closest I've had to a girlfriend is a 'good friend' that was female <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
At these times I'm happy to have a gf <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

shh.... those days are fine by me. Who can say no to presents and chocolate? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The difference is that both Christmas and Easter had a long, <i>long</i> tradition before the commercial wave swept over them in the beginning of the 20th century (my family celebrates Christmas in many ways like our grand-grand parents did), while you'd be hard pressed to find Valentines cards from before the industry made the holiday big. Valentines Day, while rooted on a Christian name, was no traditional holiday until about 75 years ago, and at least to me, that still shows through.
Actually, didn't the Christians adopt the pagan festivals in an attempt to get the pagans to be more likely to convert? So they picked a pagan festival, associated it with one of their Saints, and made the pagans think that maybe Christianity wasn't such a bad idea... something like that. It's been awhile since I studied this stuff. ^^;
Doomeh, this is my first V-day being single in quite some time, as I broke up with my live-in gf of almost two years a couple of days ago. And yet, it's also my first Vday where I don't feel sad, or lonely, or anything; I just feel like it's any other day. So hooray for both of us! ^_^

I never really saw a point to Valetine's day. Just another day for people to gorge themselves on chocolate and buy flowers for each other.

I got to spend the day at the zoo.
Then, I got to go shopping with 2 of the most beautiful girls I know(btw- we were getting clothes for me, I needed some help on what I looked good in, and they volunteered)
Went to the bar with my four female friends (actualy one of them is something more, but not my gf, not "officially" or however you want to put it), got drunk with them, then went home...
