Ah yes, that whole valentines thing. The day of the year on which all single people are supposed to feel bad.

Worse yet, it probably works on some level.

So, what are you doing to keep some semblance of sanity on this most cr*ppy of holidays? Are you barricading yourself away? Going out in desperation? Or are you just gonna open fire on a high street full of nauseating couples judging you for your apparent lack of a soul?

Me? Well, it's time for KILLATHON 2K12!!!

Yes, the yearly tradition in which I spend practically the entire hellish day indoors playing violent games of all kinds, going to the extent of tracking my virtual bodycount. Last year's high score was approx 9000 dead! Big thank you to the former citizens of megaton for helping so greatly in this objective! Let's hope for 10000 this year!

If it makes you feel better Valentines Day sucks for us tied down folk with shite present buying skills.

I honestly never even remember which day is supposed to be Valentine's day most of the time. I see some stuff for it for a while, then one day it's gone. I don't really care at all, and never understood why someone would.

Seeing as how Valentines Day is a Tuesday, that means I'm going to be working, driving 40 mins to get home, make something to eat, get my stuff ready to drive 40 minutes to go to the MMA club to do some strength and conditioning training, followed by jiujitsu.

RAKtheUndead:
I'm thinking about upholding my tradition of playing Fallout on Valentine's Day; I might add Quake II to that as well. Unfortunately, being a Tuesday, I will have to go out on that day to college; I'm just going to be cynical and bitter for the night and come home to await the day afterwards. If I really get frustrated, I might try learning some ARM assembly language or something.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, almost forgot: I'm going to see if I can have my Historical Operating Systems on Version 7 Unix finished and posted by the 14th. I'll probably start it on Monday and make sure it's mostly complete before the Tuesday.

I have no idea what you just said, but I'm pretty sure it's awesome.

And I just got real lucky that I don't have any lectures on tuesday. Sure, technically I should be doing some kind of work...but it's one gorram day on which I'd probably be too angry/depressed to do anything anyway.

Oh, you always know in the UK, due to A fine tradition of shoving it down your throat.

I actually prefer Valentines Day when I'm single. I'm in a relationship now and, like last year, we're trying to figure out dinner plans and whatnot and you have to put money aside for presents etc... When I was single I just went out with my friends and enjoyed being a singleton.

I have the first half of my epic day planned:

Get up
Shower
Shave
Go to a job interview
Maybe buy a sandwich

That's all I got so far but I want to call this super special day... Tuesday.

Carry on as if it's any other day? Valintine Day has no effect on me what so ever even I am the forever alone type og guy.

Spacedocking a hooker.

The same thing I do every night, Pinkie. Try to take over the world!

In all seriousness, I'll probably just be playing video games with my friends listening to them whine about how much they hate Valentine's Day. I'd probably foget which day it was even on if it weren't for them, not sure if that's a good thing or not...

Hmm... tests!

st valentines day was never the same for me ever since an incident involving a jar of jam, a jackson pollock painting, a female, 3 metres of ribbon and an orange jacket.

so yeah, i'll be avoiding it.

Teach me your secret ways, master.

Well, I'm going to be in Vegas on business soooooooo I'm sure I can find something to occupy my mind. Not that Feb. 14th has ever had any sway over me.

what?
i'd rather not remember that incident. i was left feeling violated in multiple ways

Pretty much the same thing I do everyday. It's my choice to be single so Valentines day does make me morose in any way. Anyways, i'll be working all day so....

I'm ignoring it. Why wouldn't I?

Where does the valentines day tradition come from?

If its somewhere in Europe, download Medieval II and spend your day crushing that country.

Going out with all my housemates for a meal (at which point I will hint at some of them wanting to get married or generally be more serious, which will scare all the guys witless). It wasn't that big a thing last year I think...don't even remember what happened.

My plans are to get up, go to work, go home, play games, eat, play games, sleep. Like any other weekday.

I've kinda grown out of the do an anti-valentines thing stage. A bit. Although...

Bah! Amatuer!
Total War can mean a million dead.
DEFCON can see you kill billions.
My best however was 1.7 trillion.

Also try jedi academy with dismemberment on, not many kills but....

But it's so impersonal! It's only satisfying if you shower in their blood! Or at least, if you can visit the smouldering radioactive crater...

Play Shogun 2 with the blood pack. Its not called the blood pack for nothing!

To survive the 14th I shall kill myself.

...wait.

Really?
I live in the UK and just filtered it out when I was single.

Valentine's day is just a day for chocolate really. Buy yourself a heart-shaped box of chocolate, thats pretty much all that happens on valentine's day anyway.

Or, go out and meet someone. No, seriously, a load of people meet on Valentines day, cause everyone thinks `fuck it, I'm single, I'll go to the pub`.

I will listen to my specially created playlist of music I have suitably titled:

Singles for singles

Love Stinks J. Geils band

One more Minute Weird Al Yankovic

The Cactus Where your heart should be The Magnetic Fields

The Greatest Man that Ever Lived Weezer

Rain on your parade Duffy

Until the End of The World U2

Killer Queen Queen

Owner of a Lonley Heart Yes

Your Last Song Scorpions

You Never can be too sure about the girl Meatloaf

Poison Alice Cooper

Bringing on the Heartache LA guns

Nobodies fool Cinderella

Love rears it's ugly head Living Color

Ever Fallen in Love Buzzcocks

Youre the Best Joe Esposito

Go your own way Fleetwood Mac

I will survive Cake

In my experience, all the couples go to the pub, and you end up looking and feeling like the only sad f*** who never found anyone, then you end up desperately going around hitting on people, which for me could only lead to pain, humuliation, and if I do succeed, pretty much being ruled over by some b**** who knows damn well I really can't do any better than her.

Chocolate? I'd prefer popcorn, but good point.

What's happening on the 14th? See what I did there?

I'm going to do nothing out of the ordinary.
My school is arranging this post box thing though. People have had the option to write letters anonymously to whomever they like and throw them in a big cardboard box.

I remember I got a letter in the first year. It was a joke, of that I'm pretty sure, but it was still fun.

Oh, and I'll be busy practicing for my test in christianity.

It's just another tuesday to me.Nothing out of the ordinary

This is my first Valentines day that I've been single in the last 4 years...thanks for reminding me, JERK!

Honestly, I like valentines day, it's a day about love and whats better then love. Sure it's a little commercial, but what holiday isn't. It's nice to see couples out and about being romantic and lovey dovey. Even though I'm single, I can still be happy for other people that get to enjoy the day.

I might get a little lonely during the tuesday, but if I can survive being cheated on by a girl that I dated for three years, I can survive a romantic day being single. :)

Besides I'm still enjoying being single, so Valentines won't put me in a bad mood or anything.
