meh. I'll be glad when all the red hearts and mushy blah are gone and all the green comes in for Spring.

I have to write a stupid love poem in my poetry class for part of this week's assignment.

I kinda prefer the alternate name, Single's Awareness Day. It reminds us how good we have it.

See? I'm a booster!

*Hate that America sets only one day aside every year to show the one you love that you love them...


that isn't what Valentine's Day is about at all

Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today.

Sell what? The fact that I think Valentine's Day is just another day disguised as an opportunity for commercial gluttony, so card stores, gift shops, jewelry stores, candy stores, florists, and restaurants can all bring up their profit margins in one fell swoop? Mmmkay, but I thought this was the perfect thread for it.

Sounded to me like you were supporting it, but now I see that your cynicism was properly directed. lol

Today is much more important than Vday, to be brutally honest.
