I will cry myself softly to sleep while I reflect on all the relationships that I was 100% responsible for ending.

I advocate a night of obliterative drinking, instead.

I feel the need to preserve myself such that I can live to hurt someone I love again.

Which is actually even more likely when lots of drinking is involved!

Hahahah, I don't care about Valentine's Day! We're not getting each other anything, and having something ~~~romantic~~ like going out is impossible because of tornado toddler, so we'll probably make Jake draw on some paper (he loves drawing the sky) and then give that to each other as a valentine's day card.

that's sweet, actually. We bought each other concert tickets so we have two shows in March to look forward to, but a romantic din din or something would be nice. We shall see. At least on 2/13 there is no competing for reservations.

Seriously, you don't even want to go out on Feb 14th.

Go to the melting pot. WE went there for our 2 year wedding anniversary and it was amazing! And DELICIOUS. Also enjoy having no kids so you can do fun stuff like this all the time without requesting MIL to stay with the kiddos. :)

This will be my 4th V-day with Thomas :O

I don't know if there is a Melting Pot in NYC! Fondue is delightful though.

I didn't have time to reply to your previous post because it immediately inspired me to get working on the diss! Obviously this did not last too long, as I'm already checking LJ again. But I did write five pages.

Danny and I have pretty much stopped celebrating Valentine's Day. One year we tried to get creative and mandated that we were exchanging gifts but that they had to be $20 or less and purchased at an office supply store. (This was far easier for him, because I love love love office supplies).

I'm thinking we'll probably still celebrate in some minor way, though. Maybe order in Thai and watch Carnivale on DVD.

Aw I'm glad I temporarily inspired you to work on the diss! I'm betting it will be pretty awesome.

Also, nothing more romantic than a stapler. Oh wait. :-)

Valentines day was invented by Hallmark for profit, but so what? Just because something was created for profit doesn't mean its necessarily bad; in fact, v-day's very popularity proves its worth. There was a void in the public brain, we wanted a day dedicated to sexlove, someone offered it and it stuck. thats the power of the free market, the emergent property of the complex system of human brains interacting every second all around the world, giving the people what they want.
anyway, it's an excellent reason to tell someone you want to bone them, or be boned by them; and to flirt and sexup your lovepal, or introduce yourself to a new pal 4 sexlove.
Or even, to tell someone you're devoted to them, you love them, you honestly do; you get close, increase trust, strengthen the bond so that when the inevitable breakup happens, the pain will be all the more crippling. Love is a many splendored thing.
