batskeetsNumbering is not due to importance... it's just because I like lists.
1) If you have a hot friend that you want to hook up with, here's some handy advice. If not handy, then at least potentially amusing. ;)
2) I know this is probably easy for me to say, being coupled and all, but I simply can NOT feel entirely bitter about a holiday that inevitably leads to free chocolate being bestowed upon me. (I say this as I savor a dark chocolate truffle from Euphoria, heh)

aniline rocked my V-Day with this. Baahahaaha!
4) I noted this tonick2310, but it bears repeating: it seems that a lot of chicks don't know what they want. Yeah, you always hear about girls who tell you they want somebody just like you, and then they go hook it up with someone who's the exact opposite. Those who *do* know what they want seem to already be married. There also seems to be a pretty narrow window of time between them figuring out what they want, and them getting what they want, so all of you hapless single males must land in that window of time.
Yeah, I know, chicks can be annoying like that. That's what you get for liking us. ;p
5) Note that the above behavior (saying what they want, and then dating the opposite) is not reserved just for chicks, either. Guys are people, too, and are just as capable of making awful decisions about who they get involved with. I've seen it happen, and you surely have, too. Make no mistake, people are effin' crazy.
6) My boyfriend is awesome and hot. Yeah, I said it. Can't help it, really. :D
7) There are a lot of people who like to rail against V-Day traditions, and talk about what a commercialized piece of junk this holiday is. However, parading around and complaining about it just draws more attention to it, and you inevitably get the, "you're just bitter," response from proponents of the holiday, so you don't really feel like you're getting anywhere, because it just rears its head again the next year.
I figure that there are two ways to *really* be anti-V-Day:
A) screw traditions and show your love in your own way ("I am going to write a sappy poem, instead of spending $10 on crappy heart-shaped chocolates!"), or
B) complete and total indifference. ("Oh, it's Valentine's Day? Huh.")
8) If your S.O. is wildly insistent on some grand, expensive gesture for V-Day, then he or she is probably either:
A) really, really insecure, or
B) more interested in the contents of your wallet than the content of your character.
9)tlaw_dalbron is wearing a "Roslin/Adama 2008" campaign t-shirt today. Yeah, I know, that has nothing to do with V-Day. It's still funny. :D

Date: 2007-02-15 07:03 pm (UTC)As for dating, I think that our society isn't big on pushing dating people who are good for you. It was a huge shock to me when I realized that the guys that I am most attracted to - the charismatic "interesting" ones - are either crazy or total jerks. Nice guys are way better, but it takes some maturity to realize that (and some persistence on the part of the guy). (Of course, there are plenty of guys I've met who seem like they fall into the "nice guy" category who are actually so neurotic, pissy, whiny or otherwise annoying that they might want to look at themselves before blaming the opposite sex. I knew this guy once who whined to me for like an hour right after we met about how he was still a virgin and what a loser he was. Um, not appealing.)
