I always thought it was the celebration of the formation of the very first emo band, and every year since we stick it to 'em by setting a date for all the depressed kids to listen to Bright Eyes and contemplate taking one too many tylenol.

I suggest that this thread be moved to a livejournal of some sort where it belongs.

social life is overrated

wait, did i just say that?

SuitePee · February 2005

Valentine's Day?

You mean the made-up day of the year where companies like Hallmarks and Thorntons stand to profit off loved-up couples, off a human emotion even.
Yep,that's the one.
I'll be ignoring the pathetic fools who buy each other gifts and show it in public. I have better things to do,like hang out with my friends and enjoy life without feeling the need to ruin my finances on a petty corporate profiteering day.

Case closed.
(now answer my post dammit <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />, the one on WOW)

And that comic sums it up nicely in a hilarious way.

I guess I should play the spoil-sport and say this: I'm lonely, I'm a romantic, and I'm still in a pretty happy. So there. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Yes, I challenge you in your misery. Do your worst! Naught but the moderators shall rout me!

I have considered sending a letter to a girl I've known since I was like 2 years old though.

"There's this girl who I really like, but she thinks I'm a jerk. Can you help me?"

"Yeah, there's a suicide booth in the food court. Though there's a line this time of year."

Won't you feel stupid when you learn who Saint Valentine is.

During Third Century Rome, Emperor Claudius attempted to raise an army. Unfortunately, he wasn't very popular and no one REALLY wanted to fight. He was **** to say the least, figured that if people weren't married and didn't have a family they'd be more inclined to fight.

Valentine was a priest. He defied the emperor and continued to marry couples in small, secret places, whispering the words while listening for the footsteps of soldiers.

Valentine was eventually apprehended, and sentenced to death. During his incarceration, all the couples he had married would visit him, throwing cards, flowers, all manner of that sort.

A daughter of a prison guard was allowed to visit Valentine in his cell, and they'd talk for hours. On the day of his execution, Valentine left a note signed "Love, from your Valentine".

Valentine was executed Feb. 14th 269 A.D

Because information is just so hard to come by on the Internet:
</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Google ftw!)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

Except if you actually knew the story, you'd realize that it's not that far-fetched. It hasn't "turned" into anything.
