Valentine: a sweetheart chosen to receive a special greeting on Saint Valentine's Day

ValentineĀ“s day is only another way for the greedy power-hungry bourgeois corporations to swindle honest workers through extortion by guilt proxy.
One does not need to give material objects on any one day to express love,
nor should it be bought like cheap trinkets made in sweat shops by inhumane standards.
Long live the revolution!

Jhahannam will always be my valentine...

So, my nation died...and I went to the World After.

And the choirs of angels greeted me, and with warming torches lit my path through the darkness...

And I halted, saying "Wait, I must tell her farewell, I must go back"

And the angel, a first among equals, came forward, and somberely told me the price...that Heaven is not gladly kept waiting, that invitations to Paradise are not to be compared to the mere poetries of enamored men.

I could turn, the Messenger told me, and go back, once more, for the briefest moment, to tell you Goodbye. But the price would be Nothingness...

"You must learn," the Messenger said, "to say what you need to say while you still draw breath."

And because I failed to do that, it would be the spending of my soul entire to come back and tell you, and the Elysian Fields would forever be closed to me, and in exchange for my Unmaking, I could send you one more post, Nanatsu no Tsuki.

You're my Valentine.

Actually this is true, and if you look at how the holidays are spaced out over a year: we are given just enough time to recover from one before we start having to pay for the next.

As for the OP, mine is my wife of course.

No shit, Sherlock :p

No. Never had a single one. Still, what I said is true by observation...smug couples, boasting about their idyllic lives and how loooovely the love of their life is, to anyone with a pair of at least semi-functioning ears. I'm a liberal. I believe in the public and private sphere distinction. You have an idyllic private life? Lovely, but don't talk about it to me in the pubIic sphere. I don't give a flying fudge what your partner at home gave you as a present, or about the super-romantic location where you had a quick fumble under the sheets. Why on Earth does everyone I know think I'm interested to hear these tales? Thats the correct answer, kids, boasting

I'm just wondering, what is the correct term for a non- 'dry spell'. A 'damp spell', a 'moist spell', or what? Its never been clarified, as far as I know. Yeh, I've always wondered about that.

I suspect my Valentine's will be spent in front of a computer playing video games. I take solace in the fact that it will at least not be on a weekday, so I don't have to deal with the potential office politics of the holiday. Even if I was involved with someone, I doubt I could celebrate it with a straight face because February and March historically represent several of the worst events in my life.

Now that you know more than you ever wanted to know about me, we can revel in the relative anonymity of the Internet.

Valentine really is a con, where you're dating it's just a disaster of thinking up something mostly so your girlfriend isn't embarrassed by her friends over your candle-lit McDonalds idea, hey it's quirky!

The worst was not booking a table for the night, dragging a girlfriend around to find one decent restaurant with a table and then sitting in the waiting area of some Thai place I found in the neighborhood, the best part was two of my friends being there with their own sorry-ass girlfriends in the waiting area with me, having done exactly the same thing, one of their dates was holding this flopped-out rose my friend had probably picked up from a street seller before picking his date up.

Summed up the evening really.

Valentine's can really cause you to question whether you're invested in a relationship.

At best it's a time to take out a first date for a romantic dinner with added percentage chance of getting home for a happy ending.

At worst it's an utter financial con, especially where restaurants save further money by having a special Valentine's set dinner.

Next up, Easter.

I'm with Kat. If you're going to do Valentine's Day at all, screw dinners out and stereotypical presents (although admittedly it's hard to object to being given chocolates); stay home and do something more fun. ;)

Ah, but I cook all the time so it's no different to 3-4 nights a week anyway, other than the rose in a vase on a table.

Thinking up ideas for birthdays I love, there's something restrictive about the choices for Valentine's, I can't express the difference but it's there, Valentine's always seems so contrived.

Ditto that. I much prefer to call the other person and say "meet me at this street at this time. I have a surprise". or "I'm out front. We're going out to eat. Get dressed."

Spontaneous is fun.

....screw dinners out and stereotypical presents (although admittedly it's hard to object to being given chocolates)

See, right there, even where your partner's all like, I don't need anything special, she's still all 'I didn't get much' when her friend's showing off the new dress/diamond/chocolates/tale of being whisked away to a sun-lit beach...

It's hard to object being given something nice, that's how it all starts.

It's the pressure of comparison and as much as I say it doesn't matter, I know that I'm letting my partner down somewhat, and showing a certain lack of care for the relationship unless I do something..

It's this idea of being romantic on this select day, I can surprise someone romantically any day given the right mood but no, I have to be romantic on this day regardless...

I just don't like it.

Ditto that. I much prefer to call the other person and say "meet me at this street at this time. I have a surprise". or "I'm out front. We're going out to eat. Get dressed."

Spontaneous is fun.

Indeed!

I mean, don't get me wrong, the standard dinner-date is quite nice and all, but a Valentine's dinner-date just seems kinda like "okay, we're going out to dinner because Hallmark says we have to, yawn."

I'm with Kat. If you're going to do Valentine's Day at all, screw dinners out and stereotypical presents (although admittedly it's hard to object to being given chocolates); stay home and do something more fun. ;)

Indeed. My best Valentine's day was when my ex left work early, drove 2+ hours to see me, and brought pizza and alcohol. And watched hockey with me. And other things no one on NSG needs to know! :p

See, right there, even where your partner's all like, I don't need anything special, she's still all 'I didn't get much' when her friend's showing off the new dress/diamond/chocolates/tale of being whisked away to a sun-lit beach...

It's hard to object being given something nice, that's how it all starts.

It's the pressure of comparison and as much as I say it doesn't matter, I know that I'm letting my partner down somewhat, and showing a certain lack of care for the relationship unless I do something..

It's this idea of being romantic on this select day, I can surprise someone romantically any day given the right mood but no, I have to be romantic on this day regardless...

I just don't like it.

Heh, you just have to have a sensible partner. I really don't care if my guy gives me stuff for Valentine's Day, I care if he's awesome in general. He can give me stuff for Valentine's Day too if he wants - I mean, I'm not exactly going to forbid him to do so - but it's just not a big deal. Fundamentally, it's just another day. (And, heck, I for one would be totally cool with "let's have OUR Valentine's Day on February 16th, because it's more convenient" or something. What difference does it make?)

One thing I sort of have difficulty with is paying attention to these sorts of things...in particular Valentine's Day, but also birthdays etc...because they aren't important to me sometimes it just doesn't cross my mind that they are important to someone I'm seeing. Which reminds me that maybe I should ask if Valentine's Day is 'special'...

That being said, it pisses me off when someone wants a big deal made about their birthday/Valentine's Day or whatever, and then cops out of making a big deal about my birthday/Valentine's Day or whatever just because it's not a big deal to me. It's sort of quid pro quo...if I'm going to go through the effort to fucking remember when you were spat out of your mother's vagina, then you'd better give me a lapdance on MY birthday.

It just annoyed me that someone was expected to buy me flowers (which I hate) or some other useless shit, and I was supposed to get mad if they didn't. Also, everything is more expensive on that day...book your romantic dinner/whatever on another day!!!!

Its been my experience that anniversaries are less intended as celebration of love and more akin to the little marks that prisoners cut onto their cell walls to mark the passing years.

When I was married, I tried to get my wife nice little things on "The Day", and she always liked it, but I think I did it for the same reason I wear a necktie to moot practice.

Its nice that you aren't stuck on a given day, though; that way you can do Italy or Ireland or Wherever on days that work out for your jobs, cheap tickets, good travel seasons, concerts, etc, instead of "It has to be the weekend of March Blah because thats our anniversary".

Yeah, that's how I feel about things like this. Hell, I can hardly be bothered to know what day of the week it is, much less if it happens to be some Hallmark holiday.

As for Valentine's Day, upon thinking about it this is the first one I've been home for in three years, although I likely won't remember it until somebody says something about it three days later (that happens to me on my birthday every year).

As for "having a Valentine" I've just spent a year with no free time or privacy so I plan on enjoying both of them for a while longer before I jump back into the dating bullshit again.

As we can clearly see, the male of the species has no idea that he has been cleverly coerced to do the female's will. The female's pheromones are so strong as to reduce the male to a simple pawn in her game of dominating the pack. He will do whatever she wants, including attacking and kill other males and females to give this female dominance, on the self-promised result of passing on his DNA to future generations.

Unfortunately, this female will do nothing of the sort for such an easily manipulated male, and will simply string him along until a stronger more powerful specimen comes along. It's tragic really, how nature turns on the weak and defenseless, so that the strong and powerful live to pass on their genes.

So, my nation died...and I went to the World After.

And the choirs of angels greeted me, and with warming torches lit my path through the darkness...

And I halted, saying "Wait, I must tell her farewell, I must go back"

And the angel, a first among equals, came forward, and somberely told me the price...that Heaven is not gladly kept waiting, that invitations to Paradise are not to be compared to the mere poetries of enamored men.

I could turn, the Messenger told me, and go back, once more, for the briefest moment, to tell you Goodbye. But the price would be Nothingness...

"You must learn," the Messenger said, "to say what you need to say while you still draw breath."

And because I failed to do that, it would be the spending of my soul entire to come back and tell you, and the Elysian Fields would forever be closed to me, and in exchange for my Unmaking, I could send you one more post, Nanatsu no Tsuki.

Click the URL button, and put in the URL, it will paste the tag with the url within it. The url will also exist between the tags, but it's highlighted.

You can simply begin typing and it will erase the apparent url with whatever you want to be the word/phrase of the link.

No, I mean multicutural.

Multicultural
Adj.
1) Of, relating to, or including several cultures.
2) Of or relating to a social or educational theory that encourages interest in many cultures within a society rather than in only a mainstream culture.

And it is not like the Mexican culture is the only one that Texans would run into. There is in fact large German and Czech communities here just to name a few. And no, not from Austin, from San Antonio.

Neo Art, I may be a hopeless romantic, but have you ever thought that maybe, maybe, you are a sexist bastard.

It's called humour?

To an extent humor, but there's truth behind my statement. Am I sexist? No, not at all. I have nothing but the utmost respect for women. But the funny thing about me is, when I respect someone, I expect to be respected in turn.

Call me crazy, I know. But at my core I'm a very basic guy with very basic requirements. And chief among them all is the main one. Treat me like an adult. And I shall do the same to you.

Because, at its core, it's not sexism at all, in fact, just the opposite. I recognize that women are, just the same as men, capable of being intelligent, mature, adult individuals. And if one wants to be involved with me, I expect nothing less. Sexism? No, just the opposite. It's an unwillingness to expect less from them than I am willing to give myself.

If you're upset with me, and, instead of talking to me about it, like an adult, you decide to try and "withold sex" as a punishment? No, fuck that shit, get the fuck out of my house.

You try to "get the upper hand" in a relationship, instead of dealing with me as an equal? No, fuck that shit, get the fuck out of my house.

For instance, comments like, I dunno, this:

Oh, hello. How are you, Neo Art? Good, I hope. How's work? Good? Nice. Now, I'm not sure but, who was talking to you, dearie?

Are the kind of thing that will just make you unwelcome. If you can't deal with me like an adult, then you are not the one for me, and, I promise you, I'm not the one for you. Treat me like an adult, show me that you respect me, and I will be there for you every step of the way. Treat me like a child, or our relationship as some sort of contest for "control" and I will kick you to the curb. I'm not going to let you waste my time. And, because I respect you, I'm not going to waste yours.

OHHH, tg me the link?
Sorry, no. First of all, most of it is in German, and secondly, it's too RL-detailled for me to send it to non-RL-contacts.

Wait, so, you're all alone right now?

Yes. my comments from earlier re: productivity and amount of time / kind of activity I'll spend doing online while in the office today still stands, though.

I have one, but nobody reads it, so I have to expose myself here. Right? Right? Right...

You never told me. (Actually I don't generally do blogs but I make exceptions for exceptional people)

I tells ya. I've been given a printed (!!!) version of several papers and journal editions and been instructed to "create MS Word templates that'll format an therein inputted text (yay mangled language) to come out EXACTLY like the ones we've given you when printed!", and, oh, please send me the files by tonight. Hah.

And here we see the male of the species again attempting to appease the female. The female sends out signals that are designed to be tricky and cause the male to offer assistance. Unfortunately, the female is simply testing him to see how compliant he is.

The male is clearly compliant in this case, and will do anything that the female asks of him. Although the female is testing for this trait, it is undesirable, and causes the male to simply be stuck in what is scientifically referred to as "friend mode", where he will serve backed by his own delusion that, someday, he can break out of this mode into a partnership role.

However, the female in this case is simply using him to feed her own status as leader of the pack, and he will continually be used to bolster this position. Nature is a cruel mistress this way, and it's sad to see the creature stuck in this position, but, be that as it may, we can only let nature take its course.

This is Galloism, reporting live from the General jungle, deep in the heart of Nationstates, in the Jolt Peninsula.
