The VD message...

[telophase]

I have not heard or read anyone today, single or otherwise, who is ranting or complaining about Valentine's Day, whether it's because they're not in a relationship or because it's commercialized or should be celebrated every day, or whatever. I have heard and read, ironically, about 45634334357 people ranting and complaining about people ranting and complaining about Valentine's Day, which is equally as annoying.

Feel free to consider this a rant and complaint about people ranting and complaining about people ranting and complaining about Valentine's Day.










P.S. Sanzo

YAY!!!!!!!

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?? *big squishy virtual emo hug*

You're complaining about people complaining about people doing something in connection (possibly complaining) with the V day! How annoying! D:<

I knew it would happen and that's why I got mine in at 2am this morning before everyone else started *grin* Though mine's not really a rant or a complaint, I'm not sure what it is actually.

I think my friend had the best idea, eat everyons chocolate. To quote her: "I am [Friend's name]!!! DEVOURER OF OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE!

METACOMPLAINTS RULE OK!

I think it was mrissa who titled a recent post something like "Countdown to cheap candy." I was at the grocery store last night and was tempted by candy, but didn't bite. With the post-VD sales, though ... I may be FORCED to go buy some in self-defense.

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

Mmm, cheapness tastes so good. Though I don't think I'd want to eat anything that has been mentioned in the same sentence as "post-VD sales"... Even if shorting Valentine's Day to VD seems somehow appropriate.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D *discusses autopsies in great detail then looks at candy in front of you* You gonna eat that?

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

Err... *looks at the candy, watches the mental images sing and dance by* ... Curse you mental images!

Sanzo!

Sanzo!

Nothing says 'I Love You, Valentine' quite like an anti-social monk with a gun and a very broad definition of 'personal space'. (Which, come to think of it, may explain why Goku is on the Saiyuki calendar for February.)


Yes, I am entirely jealous of the Sanzo valentine you posted about this morning, now that you ask. ;-)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's so romantic, isn't it?



I would hug it and pet it and all it George except that Sanzo would not appreciate that sort of thing, so instead I put it off to the side and pretend like I think it's not there. XD

Just to fill in that hole for you, please allow me to complain about how depressing Valentine's Day is.

And now I'll go back to drowning my sorrows in chocolate.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Someone just posted a perky VDay message to the Cepheid list. I'm predicting the annual explosion.

Anyway, it's been more-or-less a non-issue to me since I looked back and calculated that I have never, ever, ever once been dating anyone on Valentine's Day.

[tprjones.livejournal.com]

Heh. And that exact same issue is why this is the one day each year I look back and get depressed. :p

I'll be fine by tomorrow, though. And in the meantime I'll keep it to myself. :)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

For me it helps that I tend to be leery of public display of schmoopiness, and I'd probably be more disconcerted than charmed by a special VDay dinner and flowers and all that stuff on Feb 14. :D Discret schmoopiness a few days earleir or late is much more my style.

[awamiba.livejournal.com]

Yup. We do our celebrating a few days before, always have, but now it's great cause that makes it easier to find a) a babysitter and b) a reservation. This year Nick got me my chocolate 2 weeks early. It's been lovely.

[dicemonkey.livejournal.com]

For the first time since 1999 I'll be spending Vday alone. And I just don't know what to say. Which explains my lack of rant or whatnot.

[codfishbunny.livejournal.com]

I am not alone in my complaining about people complaining about people complaining about Valentine's Day! Hooray! ...I think?

[herchuckness.livejournal.com]

Saaaaaanzo. ♥

[herchuckness.livejournal.com]

It's been more like Porn & Chocolates Day, judging from my f-list. That's a holiday I can get behind. >D

[tprjones.livejournal.com]

What really annoys me are these people that are complaining about all the people annoyed with people ranting about the people that are fed up with the people that are completely bonkers about the people that are driven mad by the people that just can't stand all this VD mushiness.

Those people really get right up my nose!

and now the soulless commercial perspective

[cerusee.livejournal.com]

Just for a change of pace, would you like to hear me complain that Rumi and Pablo Neruda didn't sell as well off the Valentine's Day table as I'd hoped?

Re: and now the soulless commercial perspective

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Knock yourself out. :)

[janni.livejournal.com]

Wasn't up to my usual rant about how V-day only seems to do harm, to those in and not-in relationships both. Slept much of the day instead. (This on account of a minor outpatient procedure that involved slicing and unneeded chunk out of my back.)

I promise to be back and ranty next year. :-) (Whether anyone wants me to be or not ...)

1) Fish monger.
2) Sandwich board huckster.
3) Pennywhistle lullaby.
4) Psycho freak out hell ride to lunch.
5) Valentine's day.

Which of these is not like the other?

[mikkeneko.livejournal.com]

Can I complain about your ranting and complaining about people ranting and complaining about people ranting and complaining about valentine's day?

Seriously. There may even be wankage.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I may, perhaps, then complain about your complaining about my ranting and complaining about people ranting and complaining about people ranting and complaining about VDay, but that's all about freedom of speech. :D

Um this is a little late, but I didn't complain at all about Valentine's Day. For the first time in the history of my life (gee, all of *whispers* 26 years of it), I didn't care either way. I didn't feel down, but I didn't feel happy either. I didn't try to make coupled people see that I was alright being single by being cheery, but I didn't sneer at them in my head either (as per usual Valentine's Day behavior). It just was kind of....meh. *shrugs* Just another day...
