happy valentine's/terrible day to be alive




Posted by Stalolin

HOPE YOU GUYS ARE AS MERRY AS I AM TODAY YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :(




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

My Valentine's Days with my girlfriend have followed a distinct pattern -

- I buy her something, she doesn't buy me something (2005)
- She buys me something, I don't buy her something (2006)
- I buy her something, she doesn't buy me something (2007)

I didn't buy her anything this year, under the assumption that she hasn't bought me anything. I EXPECT TO BE SURPRISED.

I don't understand why people are so hard on themselves on this day just because they don't have a girlfriend. If you do have one, that's nice, enjoy the day. But if you don't, no big deal.

So to those of you that have a partner, have a good day with them. If not, no need to be down, maybe next year, yeah?

k.

I don't have a partner, but I'm not making a big deal out of it. Although I know I will have to deal with a friend who will feel like crap today. He's very moody these days so I'm sure today's event won't help =/

Hang out with the gal.
Even though we can't physically do so, atm.

That's what Skype is for. :)

I'll also be hoping that the package I sent will reach her in time.

We'll make up for the lackage of physicalness in April, I are not worried. :D


Other than that, I think people should listen to Antsu.

Yeah, I'm kind of, you know, sick. I've been watching random Let's Plays on YouTube. Good ***, Mondo Medicals is a weird game. On a better note, I'm thinking of getting my gaming stuff on this school computer. Or hope that I get the money for my new laptop soon. 'Cause I get to keep that for my life.

And I need to figure out how to record crap. Because I'm planning on doing something like LPs. It might be fun. For you guys that is.

Sorry, should've qualified, 'cause I was talking about Let's Plays earlier. They're pretty much just like video walkthroughs in a way, though they can be very, very funny. Like this one of Super Kaizo World I was watching. That guy seriously freaked so bad. XD

So my Valentines had:

- a girl I hardly know BAWWWWWing to me because a song came on over the PA that her ex-boyfriend used to sing to her.
- a woman falling down some stairs and breaking her arm and cutting open her face.

Hey.. HEEEEYY. Get back up there and be a trooper.

So, I buy two single females a few dozen roses. Because, relationships are for squares and I'm playing the field a little. And a third girl, whom happens to have a birthday on this stupid day; I bought her a Japanese fighting fish because she handed me some sob story about no one getting her anything.

The first girl and third girl, I end up partying with that night. The second girl; we chillax at her house in between and she calls me a prick because I said something of condescending nature, and artsy.. I thought chicks dug artsy?! My bust..

Going to be seeing the three of them together at another party, tonight. So much for my teeth and flawless face.

Valentine's is a cheap day to express love. Restaurants are crowded and there's heart crap everywhere. Just because it's expected doesn't mean it should be ignored. I mean, I got a sweet new iPod Nano (the one that plays videos) from Carlos and I only mentioned it like twice. I wasn't expecting him to get me something I would actually use, but he did and that was cool. I see it as a give-presents-and-do-favors day, not really a love day.

It's just a day to do something extra special for the people you love, whether you give them gifts or express your love in a different way. It's like mother's day, you always love your mom, but on that specific day you do something extra nice for her.

I never confess my true love for someone.. Hence why I only bought my best lady friend a dozen "yellow" roses, no card, and just the candy she personally likes. Just subtly allowing her to know that it's possibly there if she really wants it. The last time I expressed emotionally or willingly told someone I loved them, I ended up breaking up with them because they got all drama queen on me and couldn't handle the "L" word.. Chicks are strange.

Valentines is a day to be particularly romantic, it just happens that giving stuff and flattering the person generally does the trick. I've never considered it a day simply for revealing love, but rather expressing it more than usual.

Sounds more like a transaction than an act of romance.

Valentines definately started off as something for single people, though. You'd confess your love and wear some heart brooch on your sleeve or some shit if she felt the same way. The only way in which couples were affected is it's supposed to be the day women can ask men to marry them.

I do hate it, feeling obliged to be romantic just because everyone else is doing it really sucks.




Posted by Fate

Yeah, I know, the obligation sucking is what we agree on. Like I've been saying, when you're in a meaningful relationship all that V-Day stuff is like adding extra oomph. Love + Love = <333

More like jumping through hoops to me. Same idea from different perspectives???




Posted by Fate

No! It's the same idea. It's more like this:

[We go to the restaurant. It's a nice place. The lady tells us there is a two-hour wait. After a few words of whether or not to stay, we leave.]
Carlos: So where to?
Me: I don't know! I wanted to eat here!
Carlos: I know, but waiting two hours is ridiculous.
Me: Well, ****! How was I supposed to know there was a ****ing two-hour wait?! I should've made reservations or something.
Carlos: This is your night! Doesn't this mean something to you?
Me: No! It's just another night! ...I want Quizno's. I'm ****ing tired of this ****! I just want to sit down and enjoy the ****ing night! *sigh* Thanks for the Nano.
Carlos: I know you're going to post this in your journal. It's the principle of the thing. If I didn't get you a gift you would post in your journal about how I didn't get you anything and about how we ate at Quizno's. We need to do something nice.
[We end up going to a Japanese restaurant.]

It's all about the principle of the thing. It's not an extra-special day, but it is extra-special when you spend it with someone you care for. Christmas, birthdays, religious gatherings, conventions, etc. can be more meaningful.

Like I said, I don't like the obligation to do something romantic. But, to be frank, I am a girl and it just must be done. It doesn't have to be romantic. It can be as easy as doing something different for the night, like a movie you would never normally see or going somewhere you normally wouldn't. You can even do a favor for someone. It's just supposed to be a day of nice things.




Posted by Speedfreak

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. If it's something that must be done then is it really meaningful when they do something nice? Isn't the whole point of being nice that you don't have to, but you do anyway? It's like when you were a kid and your parents made you say sorry for something but you really weren't sorry, so it was meaningless. But if you said sorry on your own it would have much more meaning. Valentines pretty much removes all the meaning out of being romantic.

Sorry to be so very cynical btw.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Man, you two sound pretty bitter. Why even bother to celebrate birthdays or Christmas if you look on things that way?




Posted by Speedfreak

Until you said that, other holidays were fine...




Posted by Fate

There's a stigma, that's why. It has to be celebrated. Can you imagine getting gifts every Christmas and then suddenly getting none (given your financial status hasn't changed)? It'd be pointless to not celebrate, if only the holidays that have gifts involved are thought of.

I can tell you this right now, for sure: If I didn't spend money for the bf on V-Day, I would feel terrible.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: It has to be celebrated.


So? What's wrong with that? It should be celebrated if you ask me. Personally, it feels good to give gifts and show my affection for those close to me. I'm not doing it because I have to or I feel obligated, it's because I want to.



Posted by aarathi

Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, or gifting candy. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. Anyway my late Happy Valentine's Day to all lovers of this forum.

Why wait for Valentines, then? So you can save some cash and not buy more presents than you need to per year? So you don't feel guilty about not having anything on the official present giving day?

It's not selfless giving when you're peer-pressured into it.




Posted by Fate

I'm thinking we're agreeing in a different way, Vamp. I actually want to celebrate it, too. I'm saying that even if I privately didn't want to celebrate it for whatever reason, it probably should be anyways. Holidays tend to stick with people longer than regular days.

Why not wait for Valentines? Why would I pick an arbitrary day when there's a good, fine day once a year that everyone else celebrates? It's not different than christmas or a birthday really. It's just a day once a year you celebrate with those close to you.

That's your problem then, because I sure as hell don't feel peer-pressured.

I feel peer pressured because if I don't do something it's bad, unlike any other day. It makes doing something nice feel less genuine.

Birthdays and Christmas are different. Everyone gets a birthday and Christmas is a thoughtful exchange of gifts. On Valentines most girls don't do jack s[COLOR=lightgreen]h[/COLOR]it, and when they do the guy is still expected to do way more for her than the other way around.

I don't think it counts as doing something nice when doing absolutely nothing simply isn't an option.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Like I said, the peer-pressure thing is your problem. And most of my girlfriends did more for me on valentines than I did for them, it was never an issue, so idk. I just think you're way too sour on something that's supposed to be simple and thoughtful. You seem to think you have to go all out when all a girl wants is just to feel appreciated and get something that makes them feel loved, whether you do that every day or not. And if that's not the case for you, might want to try finding a less shallow, less stuck-up ***** of a girlfriend. Might help.

It's a far shot from Christmas or a birthday. Those actually have significance and meaning. Valentines might have at some point, but it sure as hell doesn't now.



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Oh right, like Christmas is in a completely different boat :rolleyes: It's just as, if not more commercialized and so removed from its original intent that it's barely even the same holiday. Does that really matter in the long run though? Nope. People still celebrate it on the same specific day every year, they still ("have to") exchange gifts to show their appreciation for others, they still spend it with their loved ones, etc etc.

I only included birthdays because, really, it's a pretty pointless event that you "have to" give gifts on.

It was quite busy for me. I think I was ****ed at the time that this ****ing Cock slut is a liar. Honestly 90% of the females out there now have no morals, break promises, and love quick ****s. I honestly think I'll marry no one because of that reason.

Ahhh, my bad. That's true. I did word that post so that it completely ruined what I meant. I'll be SUPER CLEAR now. Saying Valentines doesn't have a point wasn't referring to the commercialism and consumerism. Birthday and Christmas are entirely different holidays from Valentines in that they actually signify something. Birthdays are of course the anniversary of the day you came into the world. Christmas is (and this is how I look at it and why Jesus was said to be born on Dec. 25) the celebration of the days starting to become progressively longer and the coming of a spring.

Valentines Day is, what? A day to be nice to those you love? Kind of pathetic we need an alloted day to do that.

My point: They're an entirely different kind of holiday and celebration in meaning.



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

No ****. Doesn't change the fact that all three of them mainly revolve around giving gifts and appreciating loved ones, does it?




Posted by Shade

That's what happens, but not what the significance is. Which is what I was addressing in the first place.




Posted by Speedfreak

I didn't say a single thing about my girlfriend, dips[COLOR=lightgreen]h[/COLOR]it. I can have an opinion of the stupid holiday outside of my experiences with my girlfriend, can't I?

Like it or not, Valentines is different to Christmas and birthdays. I hate the commercialisation of Christmas too, which is why I make my parents think about something I like instead of throwing money at me. I figure a holiday where you think about eachother is pretty worth it regardless of the psuedo-religious crap and commercialisation, as is one day a year devoted entirely to you. Valentines is like a half-arsed mix of both. You exchange gifts, but if you're a guy you're expected to do much more. Sorry, but you're living in a bubble if you think otherwise. Outside of the 2% of the population that aren't morons, guys think they have to spend tons of money and girls think they're entitled to it and all they have to do in return is put out. Even if people didn't suck that much or the holiday was entirely one-sided I couldn't get behind it. I don't see the point in trying to be spontaneous and romantic when my girlfriend knows it's coming. Despite all the effort I put it in this year it felt worthless because it didn't feel special; she knew I was going to do something it and every other guy on the planet was doing something similar.

Maybe you don't mind being so cheap, but when I'm romantic I want her to be completely surprised and have no idea it was coming. Valentines day takes my favourite part out of it.




Posted by Fate

I like V-Day. My bf isn't the give-gift type, so it's really cool to expect a surprise something. I feel like I'm in Vegas.

Posted by Iris

Seriously. Valentines ISN'T just another day to show your love, or else it wouldn't be so widely celebrated. You can show your love any time, but Valentine's exists for added romance on a specific day, not solely for spending money and declaring love. If you can't be spontaneous and romantic because it's Valentine's then there's probably a fault in your relationship. I don't know a single girl that wouldn't want Valentine's to be more special than a normal day.

Wow, thanks for proving my point. That Vegas thing really tips the scales. I'm sure your boyfriend would love to know you see him as a series of f[COLOR=lightgreen]u[/COLOR]cking prizes.

Whoa, I greatly resent that. Because I like to surprise my girlfriend there's something wrong with our relationship?


Yes, there's something wrong if you can't do both. "SURPRISE HUNNY! I did jack **** for you today! I know-I know, today's valentine's day and you'd expect to be getting chocolate or a teddy bear or some ****, but we're ABOVE that. I can show my love for you through not doing anything that is expected from a typical boyfriend!"
Way to go Speedfreak. You've once again proven guys will say just about anything to get away from having to buy their girl anything...Typical men, we are.

Think of the implications for how christmas would be using this logic, lol. Kids run down the stairs only to see a small postcard from santa under the tree, saying "I'll come when you least expect it". Then those same kids look out the window at their neighbors, watching the kids playing with all their new toys and having a great time.


Quoting Speedfreak:
Funny, cause I don't know a single girl that would rather know that their boyfriend is going to do something for them than be completely surprised.


... You've lost me... You couldn't be comparing spontanious romance to V-day romance...are you? You can't be spontanious on V-day because?

Quoted post: That's what happens, but not what the significance is. Which is what I was addressing in the first place.


It pretty much is. What's left of Christmas other than gifts and spending time with people you care about?


Quoted post: Maybe you don't mind being so cheap,


Who said anything about being cheap? Neither of us expected anything wildly expensive and neither of us got anything like that. Last Valentine's I still spent a nice chunk of change, she just happened to spend a bit more. That's more or less always been the way it is and it never seemed to matter because it always came down to the thoughtfulness of whatever it is rather than the pricetag. As for what girls expect, again, that's only the case because of who the men pick. A ****ty valentine's is easily avoided if don't pick a ****ty companion.

His point being that you can't surprise them on V-Day because they see it coming a mile away.



Posted by WillisGreeny

That's limited to your imagination and planning. His point still sux. All they know is "something" could happen.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

You can still surprise them with what you planned and did for them.




Posted by Iris

Surprises aren't about just giving a gift or not giving one, it's what you give and the amount thought put into it. I wouldn't be surprised with a Wal-Mart teddy bear, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be surprised by any other gift, regardless of value.




Posted by WillisGreeny

Then what is given should be the surprise (which is what I agree with), not whether or not it is given on V-day.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Personally, I'd be really surprised with a walmart teddy bear. If only because I didn't expect something so... lame.




Posted by WillisGreeny

...(*cancels teddybear sent to Ontario*)




Posted by Iris

Well, I wouldn't really be expecting it, but rather I wouldn't consider it romantic and spontaneous since it's so generic.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Haha, yeah, I knew what you meant. Though given in the right way from the right person even a gift like that could be pretty sweet and caring.

[quote=WillisGreeny;820987]That's limited to your imagination and planning. His point still sux. All they know is "something" could happen.

If she knows I'll do something then it's not a surprise. Sure I can surprise her with what I'm doing for her, but I can't surprise her with the fact that I'm actually doing something. Sounds like a small difference but I know for a fact that it's a world of difference.

Plan something for your girlfriend next week and don't let on anything. Make just as much effort as you did for Valentines. In fact, not just you, everyone who disagrees with me here do it. Afterwards tell me honestly that they weren't a million times happier because they didn't know you were going to do anything.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

six in one hand, buddy. As long as they get something nice girls will always be happy. You really don't have to do much to please them, just as long as its thoughtful. It's not the surprise it's everything else--the thought, the time you took, the show of affection, etc. I can honestly tell you she wouldn't be "a million times happier" definitely more surprised, sure, but not necessarily happier.

Quoting Speedfreak: Wow, thanks for proving my point. That Vegas thing really tips the scales. I'm sure your boyfriend would love to know you see him as a series of f[COLOR=lightgreen]u[/COLOR]cking prizes. The fact that you equate "doing more" to "spending more money" helps my generalisation of women a whole lot too. It's a shame because I really want it to be disproven, way to go.


We ****ing live together, dude. I buy him gifts all the time because I feel like making him smile in other ways than one-- because, you know, we love each other and stuff and if I didn't make him happy without gifts then we've got problems. When you live together with a person you actually love and want to spend the rest of your ****ing life with, one single day out of the whole year not being oh-so-****ing romantic means JACK ****. THINK.



Posted by Tyler Durden

Fate, your head is screwed on SO backwards.

I used to live in a fantasy world with my head rammed straight up my own ***, pretty much just like yours is now. Buying some **** all the **** time proves dick about how much you care about them. Open up your cock laden eyes and understand. Sometimes- it takes more than material wealth and momentary itemized happiness to connect to your sig-other. You have to listen to them, take them on walks, enjoy the same faggoty **** they enjoy. Comprende? And I lived with said used **** for four years solid; just her, me, and the wide open world before us. **** gets old, **** gets boring, **** gets out the door and looks for new romance. Fool..




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Uh, I think Fate would know better than any of us if her relationship with Big Boss is okay as is. Clearly it's working out all right for her, isn't it?




Posted by Ant

Tyler Durden aka Brad Pitt knows better.




Posted by Tyler Durden

I wasn't speaking only of her relationship in general. That was more of a rant about how ****ty it is to just rely on buying someone else's happiness.

I could care less if she's having the time of her life, this is the internets. Grow the **** up.

I've been with my girlfriend longer than Fate has with Big Boss. Not by much longer (matter of months), but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about too.

FYI Fate, we live together too, and we had to travel a f[COLOR=lightgreen]u[/COLOR]ckton further than you two did.

No need, proved you wrong and you already admitted it. You're losing it, man.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Haha, riiiiight. Nothing was prove right or wrong, you faggot. All you said was that you thought you couldn't surprise someone on Valentine's when you, you know, can, and thought you could surprise someone better on a different day which really doesn't matter. You don't have to surprise them in a huge way. I honestly don't know where you get that from. A surprise is a surprise and that only goes so far. Again, it's everything else the woman cares about, being hugely surprised is the cherry on top.

wow

If anything, it being harder to surprise someone on that day gives you more of an incentive to be creative.

It's March, shut up already. :mad:




Posted by Speedfreak

That sounds like a challenge.




Posted by Iris

I'll challenge you to a match of Brawl on March 9th. :)




Posted by Speedfreak

No point, the lag will be about 10540800000ms (not a random figure).




Posted by Shade

Sounds like your wussing out. Pansy.




Posted by Speedfreak

...that's the amount of milliseconds in the 4 months of EU delay. Though from what I've heard it's a laggy game anyway, even if I imported it and the Freeloader worked.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

WHO WOULDA THOUGHT!

A match between speedy and iris would probably be a slideshow.




Posted by Ant

Most of the videos I've seen aren't that laggy...though at least it doesn't skip when it lags. Hell, I always liked it when it slows down in games. Makes for some epic moments.




Posted by Speedfreak

As long as it's slowdown lag and not opponent-teleports-across-the-map lag.

I'm sure Iris would kick my ass at the game, I don't have a problem losing. I just want to lose because of me, not because of my 400ms ping.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, if it's like, uh, DoA where it's like it enters into slow-mo, that's fine I guess. Better than nothing. But I doubt that's the case. Probably gonna be like Bomberman Live where you think you trapped someone in between two bombs and suddenly they're on the other side of the board and you're trapped.

no, it's slowdown. it doesn't skip.

VAMP MADE HIMSELF VERY CLEAR THAT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE LIKE BOMBERMAN LIVE. FAGGOT.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yes, and as everyone knows when I say probably I mean it will in fact be that way for sure, no questions asked.




Posted by Iris

Well, I knew that.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I'd hope so. It's a fact that everything I say is a fact.

You don't even have to spell it out, Vamp. We know. :D

Of course, because I keep disagreeing with you over and over. The factor by which I am dumb purely for disagreeing with you stacks.
