ok, i have to tell someone and my bf doesn't visit these boards.

so i'm making a big card made with construction paper and i've cut out pink and red hearts (there are about 40 on the front and 30 on the back so far) and i'm going to print out little things like "i love you" "i love your giggles/smile/eyes et c" and cut them out individually and arrange them on the inside of the card.

then i'm either going to buy him a present or make him a coupon booklet of assorted things....

and i want to get my hair cut and perhaps dyed (he has a thing for red hair and it's getting to the point in the year where i could use a bright hair colour...) and buying a nice outfit and i'm going to go see him on valentine's day (we have a long distance relationship, i'm going to bus out and spend the night and all that)

i'm not sure what to get him, but i can't shop until the weekend... i'm veryt excited, especially for the card as that's what i'm making now... i can post pics of the work in progress too. :)

what are you guys doing?

Nothing. My boyfriend and I both HATE v-day!

Nothing. My GF is still living at home and as such is bound by her parents and they don't like me. Don't like is put very mildly.

I did the coupon booklet one year... went over really well, actually. :D Had things like "Good for one full-body massage" and "Good for one gourmet dinner"... amoung some more R+ rated coupons. ;)

One of my housemates and I will be celebrating Single's Awareness Day, and trying vehemently to ignore our other two housemates and their (significant) others.

... i suggest gorging yourselves on cinnamon hearts and drinking a lot of goldschlager or fireball... they both taste cinnamony and will go with the hearts.

You could buy him a hooker. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Whoa...
I almost forgot about V-Day...
I have no idea what my partner and I will be doing. Most likely something random and spur-of-the-moment, as that seems to be what we excel at doing.

One year I made V-Day cookies with little footprint cookies stomping on the heart cookies. I also made some hearts cracked and the icing was black. Good times!

nothing really, but I have something awesome planned for her bday, which isn't too far off

I'd love to see the ackward moment when you give it to him.

If he's a typical guy his excitement will only match yours if you're wearing lingere when you give it to him.

Me, I hate V.Day. Probably 'cause it's the day after my B day which always seems to get lost in the hype leading up.

As for gifts on that day, I follow a general rule and try include at least two of the big four, Candy, Flowers, Stuffed Animals and Jewelry.

Of course us old guys can't slide by with the heart shaped box of chocolates or a mixed bouquet or a cute little stuffed bear.

Women expect you to outdo the year before.

Last year I gave my wife chocolate covered Strawberries, a dozen lavender roses, and a stuffed bear with a diamond and ruby earrings and necklace set attached.

I'm screwed.

Congratulations, you are the product of Corporate Marketing. Three Cheers for Uniformity! If he is a normal guy he'll feign happiness about the card because you're spending the night.

I don't get it? Why can't the year make sense, B-day is right before V-day, but D-day isn't until June 6th. Shouldn't U-day go before V-day, and shouldn't they both be after D-day which in turn should be after B-day. And then thats not my B-day anyways, nor many of yours I'm sure. Adding yet another layer to mystery. Damn alphabet.

:) I am hand dipping strawberries in chocolate for us to enjoy.
We will go to dinner together.

That's all you lot get to hear. ;)

Who cares if V-day is a holiday created by coporations. Its the thought that counts, and whether you like it or not, the well being of your standard-of-living depends on the economy. So participate and be happy. I personal got some nice smelling things from Lush.com. The gf and i are gonna have fun. :fluffle:

Well, seeing as this is the first time I'm going to have someone for V-day...

I'm sending him a card through the school, which will be delivered just before lunch and ask if he wants to come to ice cream with me. Of course he'll say yes, so we'll go out to ice cream, have a nice lunch hour, and hopefully (if I can hold it off all this week) have our first kiss.

Going to class and ruing the joint abuse of each of capitalism, popular culture and spirituality by the others that the holiday entails.

Getting my hands on my own copy of Starfox Assault and playing it all day. ^_~

And if the store doesn't have it in stock, then throwing a massive hissy fit about it and/or taking it out on some hapless passerby =p

A V-Day well spent!
:D

Well, one guy I know drew me an anime-ised version of me, so I'm making him an octopus pony in return, and it might turn out to be a Valentine's Day gift, if the timing is right.

I was considering making teeny little Necronomicon-style cards for a few people, but I've decided I'm too lazy to.

Oh, and there's another pony I'm making, but I'll probably just end up keeping it, all things considered... 'sigh'

Oh, and there's another pony I'm making, but I'll probably just end up keeping it, all things considered... 'sigh'
You really do have a thing for ponies hm? Haha!

For me, when I have a girl (which is to say not presently) I try to make every day a little Valentines day leading up to one massive one. :)

I'll keep the rest of my traditional Valentines doings private due to the PG-13 rating on this site. :D

So, long time ago, had this girlfriend. I liked things like the Festival of Animation, the weird crap me and friends would come up with to do at random, etc. I was a slacker. Still am, but thats another deal...

She didn't like those things. Not sure what was in it for her, but that is itself yet another deal.

What she really didn't like was Ren & Stimpy. I loved Ren & Stimpy. I had seen Big House Blues at the festival (along with Rugrats and Nickelodeon had just started playing Ren & Stimpy on Sunday mornings.

Every Sunday I would watch the Ren & Stimpy. Alone at first, but then the roommates started to catch on that if I woke up before noon, it had to be good.

So, one week we're all watching and Ren tells us that it's two weeks to Yak shaving day. Fantastic! We're all gonna celebrate Yak shaving day. I, of course, am the most excited. My roommates wonder why. "You're gonna celebrate Yak shaving day?" Yeah, man. I introduced you all to this cartoon, why would you think that I'm not all about it? "All right..."

My girlfriend (at the time) calls the day before Yak Shaving Day. "What are we doing tommorrow?" Well, it's Yak Shaving Day, so-you know. Yak Shaving Day things. "Yak Shav-what?" From Ren & Stimpy, Yak Shaving Day. It'll be fun. "A-alright. Should I...?" You can come over if you want. "Yeah...okay...I will..." Fantastic. Maybe she's warming up to the things I like. Groovy.

So Yak shaving day, two weeks from when Ren said, and I'm rarin' to celebrate-shaving scum, etc...

And my roommates are still wondering why I'm doing this. "Don't you have something else you need to do?" No. "Do you know what day it is?" Yak Shaving Day, bitches. What? "And what day is that?" Today. "Which is?" Don't make me- "No, dude. The date." Sunday....14th....14th of Sund-I mean, Feb-...crap.

Doorbell rings.

Haven't had a 'Valentines Day' since. I think the universe has deemed that I don't deserve them.

Well, I'm thinking somethign really romantic and cheesy. Have a reservation at a restaurant called Biaggi's Restaurante Italiano (www.biaggis.com - started here in my town Bloomington in 1999 and already has something like 19 locations across the country) and thats gonna put me back at least 50 dollars for the two of us. Then I have a bunch of candles from Bed, Bath, and Beyond that is going to light up my basement here. lotsa candles, lotsa flowers, and lots of little romantic things. Oh, and I can't forget to have the bouquet of yellow roses sent to him in his music appreciation class during the day. oooh this is gonna be so much fun :)

Valentines day? Nay! My Birthday is more important! I'm born one day after Valentines day.. so I'm used to getting dying flowers and second hand chocolates.

Valentines.. no gf currently. Probably spend my time out with the bachelor boys or talking to you guys.

My wifey and I believe that ANY day can be Valentines day, so we celebrate it on a regular basis, and refuse to participate in a forced, commercialized event like Feb 14.

i'm not sure what to get him, but i can't shop until the weekend...
Something thoughtful, something inexpensive.

I'm screwed.
I don't think that "better" necessarily means "more expensive". If she really loves you, then wouldn't a very sentimental but low-budget gift suffice? Like a hand-made card like Dakini is doing for her boyfriend?

Remember, folks, your significant other should love you, not your wallet.

I'm sending him a card through the school, which will be delivered just before lunch and ask if he wants to come to ice cream with me. Of course he'll say yes, so we'll go out to ice cream, have a nice lunch hour, and hopefully (if I can hold it off all this week) have our first kiss.

valentines day plans: wait for my birthday presents the 15th

I had plans but decided to change them.

as per usual - i will be doing nothing special...

*sigh nobody loves me*

Hmmm. I already bought her shiny things, or a shiny thing with other shiny things embedded in it. From Kay Jewelers. For entirely too much money. I know that hafl fo my present from her is from Victoria's secret. I haven't seen her in a month (she go's to school 300 miles away) so we're already gonna be in bed, pretty much the entire weekend , and i took five days off, so...

I'm picking her up from school, driving her out to m dad's condo, which will acutally be empty for the weekend (he's in Mexico) cook her dinner, serve it candlelit. then i will give her a box of chocolates and a dozen white and red roses. Then i will pick her up and carry her into the bedroom, where she will show me her present. Then we'll fornicate. Then I'll run a bath, after the appropriate snuggling has occurred. then we'll fornicate in the bathtub. then she'll wrap herself in a towel, a state i love to see her in, and we'll d it again. then we'll probably sleep for a bit. Then in the morning, we'll do it a bunch, then i have a train to catch at 4 pm, so there will be a tearful goodbye.

To spend the whole day in bed, drowning out all the love and crap with sad depressing movies

This is going to be the first time I have ever had a valentine, I'm so happy.

Probably drinking myself unconscious.

Suicide

I can't believe I'm the first one to say it.

Taking the wife for a long weekend at a resort near Petosky, MI, and to a fine restaurant Mon. evening.

Suicide

I can't believe I'm the first one to say it.

I hope you're not serious. :( Otherwise, I have a professional duty to inform the authorities in your area. :confused:

Puking and telling everyone how much I hate valentines day

I hope you're not serious. :( Otherwise, I have a professional duty to inform the authorities in your area. :confused:
First of all, try and find them.

Second of all, if I was really going to commit suicide I would look at it as a final option. I wouldn't be online chatting it up with other people about my imminent demise. If someone on the internet says they are going to kill themselves, the overwhelming odds are that they won't actually do it.

I appreciate the concern though.

Ask a certain girl out. Unfortunately, I have to go out and buy her some roses... (yes, damned cliche, I know), and I'm not a rich person. Maybe I could sell agricultural products on the street so I could afford more, different agricultural products. >_<

Crap, Valentine's Day already? I forgot to get a girlfriend again.

Probably drinking myself unconscious.
WHOOOO!!!! I think a lot of us will be doing that.

If someone on the internet says they are going to kill themselves, the overwhelming odds are that they won't actually do it.
Unless you're in A.S.H. or A.S.M.

erm, people here *do* know about Usenet, right? Anybody else know what A.S.H. and A.S.M are, or am I alone?

WHOOOO!!!! I think a lot of us will be doing that.

I'll be especially unconscious.

Don't forget the looking good and according to some people having the sexiest ass on Nationstates while yer at it Cog =p

And then I get to break male geeks hearts by informing them I'm not looking for a relationship ^_~

~Reppy

You do sum-thing to me (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005060862,00.html)

Boffins have developed the ultimate formula for love – and say it could help singles find a match before Valentine’s Day.

The love formula:
Love = ((( F + Ch + P) / 2) + (( 3 ( C + I )) / 10 )) / (( 5 – SI ) 2 + 2)

Extent to which you fancy your love interest (F)
Extent to which you hit it off with them immediately (I)
The confidence with which they approached you (C)
How you would rate your self-image (SI)
The amount of charisma of your prospective partner (Ch)
The boffins say pheromones (P) should get an automatic rating of eight.

Note that the linked article says that each of those variables is rated from 1 to 10.

So, let me get this straight, your chances for love go up linearly with all those factors except how you rate your self-image?

As your self-image starts at 1 and goes up, your chances for love go up towards positive infinity, passes through a singularity at SI=5, go up from negative infinity, and starts to approach zero from the negative side. Right? Someone with SI=4.9 has a large positive value for Love, and someone with SI=5.1 has a large negative value for love. If you rate your self-image at exactly 5, then your chances for love are undefined.

Anybody can tell that this is a bogus equation, but it takes an engineer to tell you WHY it's a bogus equation. :D

Nothing. My GF is still living at home and as such is bound by her parents and they don't like me. Don't like is put very mildly.

I don't even know you, and I really don't like you!

Heh. If only. I think I'd probably need to pay rather more attention in biology class before I could make a *real* octo-pony. Perhaps I should have written 'a My Little Octo-Pony', to make things clearer :p

To be exact, I meant something along the lines of this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/Shaed/Cthulhupony2.jpg) (which was originally this (http://www.ponytopia.com/2004-4/04_pics/04_profile_pics/petalblossom-main-8.jpg)), only with the tentacles spread around the body more, not concentrated as a tail. And, you know, not phallic. Plus some sort of nifty octo-beak, and uber-pretty blue-ringed-octopus colouration (http://helium.vancouver.wsu.edu/~lindblad/blueringedoctppus.jpg)

Mmmartsy.

*sigh*

Yet another V-day without my significant other...
*uses his GPS to locate Suicide Cliff*

Most likely, I'll be spending it here at NS...
*Locates Suicide Cliff*

And play my Empire's national anthem at max volume...
*Walks towards the cliff*

And weep uncontrollably.

It's bad that I think that's hot, isn't it? Because I'm not meant to be attracted to scary, scary maths-knowing people. And the... thing with the... and, um...

O.O

I'm just going to go... lie down for a while.... over there... And try very, very hard not to think naughty thoughts.

Who do you like?

Tsk, he doesn't like anyone. So really, on the scale of things, he likes you exactly as much as he likes everyone else. Hence you should feel flattered.

OR!

You could have a cookie (we have both pro-VD, in pink and white, or anti-VD, in black and red) and just ignore him.

So basically if i was good at my job i should be able to explain this but seeing as im not i wont right?

Venereal disease? Eww.
Nice

I have morning lectures, then come home. I'll send an email to the girl I like, since that's the only way I know I can contact her right now. I'm not expecting anything from anyone, since I've never gotten anything for valentines day.

In previous years, I've given cards, roses picked from the garden that morning, etc. but haven't had any positive reaction from it.

Suicide isn't an option and has almost never been. Murderous rampage, on the other hand, is. Get rid of as much competition as possible, or punish those who cause the yearly heart-(and almost mind-)breaks.

Nonono, don't be tempted to wipe out a large number of people remotely... there's absolutely NO emotional satisfaction in that.

What you want is a nice surgical laser. You might only get through one or two people (choose well), but you'll be able to keep them alive for weeks ;) It's the most satisfying way to show humanity you hate it. Pretty hands on too.

TPE, you're going to mislead the poor chap. What's the point in mass producing corpses when the hand-crafted ones bring so much more satisfaction?

We also have experimental "chronobombs", made from our Chronoscepter technology and nuclear weapons technology put together. A single chronobomb can sink the entire island of cuba!

ok, i have to tell someone and my bf doesn't visit these boards.

so i'm making a big card made with construction paper and i've cut out pink and red hearts (there are about 40 on the front and 30 on the back so far) and i'm going to print out little things like "i love you" "i love your giggles/smile/eyes et c" and cut them out individually and arrange them on the inside of the card.

shudder. at least use colors other than pink and red...otherwise it's going to be just like all the other pink and red cards floating about on Feb 14.

the way my lover puts it, "If your card fell into a pile of all the other Valentines cards being given this year, would your partner be able to pick it out of the mess without looking at who it was addressed to?"


then i'm either going to buy him a present or make him a coupon booklet of assorted things....

coupon books are so much more fun, and can be far more personal. instead of just giving him a DVD or something, which anybody could buy for him, you can remind him of the specific reasons he is with YOU.


and i want to get my hair cut and perhaps dyed (he has a thing for red hair and it's getting to the point in the year where i could use a bright hair colour...) and buying a nice outfit and i'm going to go see him on valentine's day (we have a long distance relationship, i'm going to bus out and spend the night and all that)

damn, this dude better be good to you...and he bloody well better not forget to buy you something nice.

and when you say "red hair" do you mean like natural redhead red, or like fire engine red? either way i hope you enjoy it, but i totally recommend the fire engine...it's wicked fun.


i'm not sure what to get him, but i can't shop until the weekend... i'm veryt excited, especially for the card as that's what i'm making now... i can post pics of the work in progress too. :)

what are you guys doing?
i'm sending my honey a set of "Jump Me Checkers." it's a checkers game with suggestions on the pieces, and every time you jump the other person's piece you are expected to jump the player in the suggested manner.

of course, that's not actually for Valentines, since we have a standing arangment to celebrate our "Love Day" on February 16th...we do this because we can then get all the same stuff for each other that we could have gotten on Valentines, but we pay about 1/3 as much because of all the post-Valentine's Day sales. no reason why one arbitrary day should be more important to our relationship than any other, so if we're going to make up a holiday to do something special for each other we might as well make it up at a time when Halmark hasn't jacked all the prices into the stratosphere.

plus, with the money we save we can afford more frequent plane tickets to visit each other :).

O.O

It's bad that I think that's hot, isn't it? Because I'm not meant to be attracted to scary, scary maths-knowing people. And the... thing with the... and, um...

O.O

I'm just going to go... lie down for a while.... over there... And try very, very hard not to think naughty thoughts.

You flatter me, madam.

I hate it when you computer geeks call yourself engineers.

I'm an engineer, member of the International Union of Operating Engineers local 39. Engineers operate power producing machinery, they don't play with computer programs.
Objection! My major in college was chemical engineering. :p

Among other things, I had to learn what a "constitutive equation" was; it's the kind of equation that tries to describe physical phenomena, is usually based on experimental evidence, and usually has some kind of empirical constants in it. (<-- I'm skipping a lot of detail, here. I don't want to hijack the topic.) The Boffins formula is an example of a (bogus) constitutive equation.

If we're going to pull equations out of hats, then I could come up with a more plausible equation just by saying:

Chance of hitting it off = S * H
S = How much She likes him (rated on a 0 to 1 scale).
H = How much He likes her (rated on a 0 to 1 scale).

Valentine's Day plans?

Mwahahahahaha! :D

I don't have any plans because I don't have a gf!

First of all, try and find them.

Second of all, if I was really going to commit suicide I would look at it as a final option. I wouldn't be online chatting it up with other people about my imminent demise. If someone on the internet says they are going to kill themselves, the overwhelming odds are that they won't actually do it.

I appreciate the concern though.

I'm glad to hear that is the case. I agree that it is unlikely that someone who actually intended to committ suicide would broadcast it like that, but it has happened.

As for tracking you down, it would depend on how willing the mods. would be to assist with a potentially life threatening situation as well as my own inginuity, but you're right, it would definitely be challenging and I'm glad I don't have to try.

If you want someone to talk to, a friendly sounding board, whatever, feel free to PM/telegram me.
