Oh and another tidbit of information about Valentine's Day from Roman History. On this date in time, there use to be huge festivals thrown in major cities.The names of teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion, for their mutual entertainment and pleasure (often sexual), for the duration of a year, after which another lottery was staged.
Another tidbit about this day. Animal sacrifices were made during this time to the Gods. With these "Blessed" hides from the Gods. Women would parade through the street and get "slapped" with these bloodied carcasses as a form of blessing of Fertility. Good ol' Latin class pulls through in the end.
I pray all of you one day find your certain someone. Be it today of all days. Or sometime down the road. Have a nice day <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Bah. Nothing is less romantic than an official day to be romantic.
Personally, I feel that anyone choosing to partake in the rank and file today deserves nothing better than to lose that special someone that they're indulging.
I'm waiting for February 15th; the day after. Everyone wakes up and realises their credit cards are out of credit, their cash has been spent up,all the presents they have bought have been used up,and they are in bed with some other male/female alongside their partner.

Did you know that at the age of 17, 50% of the population still hasnt had sex? Doubt it decreases that much in the span of 3 years.

this is the day I watch others fight with there love ONE(their wallet). Well me and my love are getting along just fine today. I put money in it, dont buy over priced crap, and all is well. If i wanted to buy a girl flowers, I'd do it on a day where they dont triple the price.
