[OT, Valentine's Day] What are you doing for your sweety?

[I'm A Banana]

I'm going to take her out to dinner, and a big show at the local center, offering her a bouquet, and providing her with a limo. At the dinner, a string quartet will play 'our song.' At the show, the star will come off stage and give her a rose from me. At the end of the night, simply wrapped in each other's arms, we fall asleep and sleep in Saturday.

This is providing, of course, my mad scheme to make my dreams real through experimental gamma radiation doesn't turn me into a superhero/supervillain, and actually produces a substantial human being.

Otherwise, I believe it will mostly pretending ardently that it's NOT V-day, and I'm NOT alone, and I WON'T listen to sad music in a dark room surpressing the urge to weep.

Hehehe...gods, I'm an emotional little whackjob.

For Valentine's weekend:

1. Send her a dozen red leather roses to work on Friday (actually cheaper than the real thing, and she likes them better!)

2. Make dinner together that night- probably shrimp fettucine alfredo.

3. We both like giving gifts, not because we have to, but because its fun to surprise someone you love with a thoughtful gift. I got her a triple-layered candle, some chocolate, made a card myself, a set of purple oblivion dice, and a NIIICE lace teddy!

3. On Sat she is going to take me to a new mexican restaurant, then we will go see Two Towers (she was sick around X-mas and didn't get to see it).

4. Some gaming on Sat night. Then, some more role-playing!

vday

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------May I recommend a single rose and a card. NEVER forget a card. On my fifth wedding Anniversary I took my wife to California for a trip, but that was a week before the real date. On our anniversary I did not get a card. I took her out for dinner, but no card. I still have not heard the end of that. I hate Hallmark, what a waste of $3 bucks, stupid cards.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My wife and mother in law both work for hallmark, so Im free and clear as far as that goes. They have seen most of the cards available anyway, and would rather not bring work home.
Im thinking the severed head is a winner.......
Guess I could pick a neighbors flowers, well if they wernt dead from winter and all......

I have no honey. 'Course, I'm a high schooler who plays DND in his garage, so I dont expect much.

Me and my friend are going to spend the day drinking beer... root beer... in my garage, and watching all the horribly violent movies we can find.

And maybe making fun of V. Day and love in general.

Ahh, to be young and full of bitter agnst...

Mine does not know yet but I am working on a special v-day gaming session. Not quite sure how to pull it off but after 20 years it's time to get orginal.

I bought my hubby the Battlehive and put his card and some candy between each layer.

 

[DarkElven]

I get to have surgery!

Isn't that SWELL!?

THIS IS THE BEST V-DAY EVER!

Its like something out a nightmare.

 

[Uzumaki]

Nothing. I have no one. And I am probably the least desirable person alive, so that is not likely to change.

To all of those anti-Valentiners: My first date with the first great love of my life happened as an erstwhile non-Valentiney V-day event. Never give up hope...

My honey and I are spending most of the non-work part of the 14th on a plane to London, but I'm dragging her onto a surprise connection to Paris once we arrive at the airport. Oh wonderful circumstance!

Best to you all,
and remember that Hallmark sucks.

My recommendation to those of you who are looking for something special to do for your sweetheart: Cook dinner. All it takes is a decent cookbook and a brief trip to the grocer. If need be, cheat like hell (there's lots of yummy prepared food out there). Dinner in has the additional advantage of being cheaper than dinner out, allowing for better wine and fewer clothes.

Good luck!

my partner and I celebrate 3 years together 2 weeks after v-day, so we decided to forego the Valntine's gifts and focus our efforts and finances on that...

...unfortunately, I'm not really sure that I can, in all decency, say what I will be getting her for the anniversary...



then again, the fencing season here starts on the 15th, so I will probably spend the evening with her apologising in advance for the next 6 months when we barely get any time together (despite living with each other)...
