We don't celebrate Valentine's day.
It's bullshit holiday.
Photography's a joke. Anyone can be a photographer. You do your scary great pictures because you're a professional. I'll take my stupid...automatic camera...take pictures and we'll see if people can tell the difference. - HS, 2-1-02
Not at all. We just don't celebrate it. We barely realize it's here.
Going out on Valentine's day is ridiculous. It's crowded and restaurants pump up their prices for just that night. It's usually on a bullshit day like Tuesday or Wednesday, so you can't get drunk and stay up late fucking and acting stupid.
The last time we went out for Valentine's day was when I was 8 months pregnant. We had reservations but we still waited an hour. The main reason I wanted to go to this place was because of one certain dessert. They ran out of it, and my big fat pregnant ass cried.
Why not wait a couple of weeks and go on a Friday night when it isn't insane with crowds, and prices are back to normal? It's just a dumb holiday.
Dinner and/or flowers is great. Little typical. Something unique/creative would be a step up, even if it didn't cost much money. Something unique/creative that's also tailored to HER likes and passions is even better... something that shows you pay attention and that you know her.
But a good girl won't complain about anything you do for her, as long as you do something, and at least try to show that you put SOME thought into it.
Things like that I tend not to think all the way through, for some reason .... I remember being on a second or third date with another girl about 2 years ago, when a Deep Purple song came on her car radio ... One of the lines in the song was "It's not the kill...It's the thrill of the chase"...And I, of course, blurted out.. "Man, aint that the truth...More times than not, chasing someone & seeing if they'll go out with you is a lot more fun than when you actually go out with them" (Thinking back to my college days, of course) .... That led to a mildly interesting discussion (after I dislodged my foot from my mouth)....

A winning lottery ticket. My (at this point, hypothetical) girlfriend could style Phish tour this summer, without a care in the world.
What is the truth, what is the faithful lasting proof?
What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?
As soon as there are any demands or expectations, that's when you should just leave. Do whatever you feel like, if it hurts the person youre with then they're not compatible enough with you.
Flowers, romantic card, that would work for me.![]()

to those who'd like to send me flowers,

Edible Arrangements...A little expensive, but a lot better then flowers that die in a couple of days.
