Valentine's Day opinions?

The following is a parody: Rated G for Great Idea

Evil Paragraph 1: AVENites, hear me and hear me well! I have a diabolical plan to destroy the worl... I mean Valentines Day! Every year I spend 364 days plotting my annihilation of this silly holiday. My target: the sinister chocolate! I have decided to vilify it for dramatic effect!

Evil Paragraph 2: I've designed three devious contraptions to "destroy" all the world's chocolate. Well not destroy it, but consume it myself and use any large heart-shaped containers as beds for my evil cats who will NEVER inform you of our location. We are hiding out in a lair behind a revolving bookcase at The National Institute and Alliance of Villainous Felines and Humans! Oops, that slipped out! :wacko: Anyway, on to the evil plans! I will use: 1) my purple, sparkly grappling hook to scale houses, 2) my custom laser (sounds like a purring cat) to cut through windows (not to harm humans though, as no one would be alive to witness my evil plans and call me a supervillain :twisted:), and 3) my flying cat, AFV (no not America's Funniest Videos, but rather Airborne Furry Villain) to travel around like Santa Claws (get it, like a cat? :3). HA HA HA!

Evil Paragraph 3: (pauses for a moment and cries out of guilt) Wait... I'm so sorry... I'm doubting my evilness right now. We'll go... (sobs) easy on the humans, Mr. Fuzzynoze. (Mr. Fuzynoze purrs) We will return any bagged chocolates to the humans after stealing them because the kitties can only sleep in the heart-shaped containers. However, AFV and I (Doktur Katluver) will still steal any chocolates inside heart-shaped containers for reasons described in Sentence 2 of Evil Paragraph 2! :twisted:

Evil Paragraph 4: This Valentines Day (February 14th, do not forget), surrender your chocolates (the ones inside heart-shaped containers) by leaving them close to windows (and leaving the windows open if you don't want them to have a circular, lasered entry hole in the glass). Have a meowtiful day, AVEN! >(^o_o^)<

Appendix: Oh wait, don't go, loyal donor! I have one more thing to say! Please leave some milk and tuna at your windows for my (373) cats, it's expensive to feed them.

You're really the worst kind of evil Doktur Katluver!

As for Valentine's Day, I'm aro and I don't really care about it; I love the chocolate but no one I'm close to celebrate it so I hardly notice it.

The best part of valentine's day is buying myself an expensive box of chocolates. Sometimes they come in super cute little tins or boxes, as well, which is awesome :wub:

Don't buy yourself expensive chocolates for Valentines day! Buy yourself half-priced expensive chocolates the day AFTER Valentine's day! :D

I'm panromantic, but I like Valentine's Day. I hate how commercial its become, and I think that if you're with someone, you should appreciate them all the time not just on certain days. But to people in relationships it sometimes classes as a "special occasion", so I like to see it as an opportunity to have an out-of-the-ordinary date like any other special occasion, like getting all dressed up and going somewhere fancy, or going somewhere like a water park (my 18th birthday plan, haha).

As a point of accuracy, Valentine's day didn't start in the U.S.. though, the way it's celebrated definitely comes from the anglosphere (namely England).

I used to hate the day when I thought I actually wanted a relationship. Now it's just amusing to me to see people around me spend way too much on stupid gifts

I like it for meta reasons: I get to host an anti-Valentine's day party, reminisce with my friends about a fun role-playing game where a vampire named Valentine was the main antagonist, post Welcome to Night Vale quotes, and it's half-price-candy-day-eve.

"This Valentine’s Day, as all Valentine’s Days, will not succeed in bringing our city down. This Valentine’s Day, as all Valentine’s Days, will soon recede into painful memory, fading with time, until another foul Valentine’s Day is upon us again." - Welcome to Night Vale, Episode 17

By the way, I'm basically aromantic and I've had romantic married friends come to my Anti-Valentine's Day parties because they hate the commercialism, so I think it is very individual.

If it means I get free candy and a cute stuffed animal, I'm for it! Plus, the next day there's candy on sale for outrageously low prices!

Valentine's Day = Chocolate Day, enough said.

Around here people also give presents to their friends because they not only focus on romantic interests but also on friends.

I don't see why a specific day is attributed for the specific purpose as Valentine's Day (or Singles Awareness Day for the others). I would think that a relationship anniversary would be a more appropriate date to celebrate, given it's specific to the relationship and not glomped together with a generic day for everyone else. Having said that, I've always found the concept of the day a bit exclusive and not inclusive enough to all types of people and their individual choices.

That said, I'm always a bit shocked at the amount of break-ups that happen on Valentines Day. It seems a bit heavy to be a statistical anomaly, but many people I know have decided to end it on this specific day. It's just a curious thing that happens, but I think it's related to something that I can't quite put my finger on yet.

Some people take this day a tad bit too seriously... Like that one woman who attacked her boyfriend with a knife this year. Don't remember whether he got the wrong gift for her or forgot about Valentine's Day altogether... and people really think we are weird?^^;

Either I spend it with friends or I treat it like a normal day. Either way, I take it as a time to tell my friends and family how much I love and appreciate them. Then the next day I get discounted chocolate.

Any day where people give me candy out in the open is a good day. Plus red is my favorite color and pink is also nice. :D

Kinda forgot it was a romantic holiday honestly, but that's because I'm often oblivious to my surroundings and have never been romantically interested in someone at that time. There was a time where I felt lonely, then there was a time I wished everyone would shut up about dating and such, and now it just seems like a regular day with a few more treats~

Well, next year will be the first year I don't have to consider skipping school to avoid all the bullcrap that goes along with the day. It was worst when I was living on campus. Don't get hungry, biatch - if I went near the university center (food court) I'd just be bombarded with red, pink and teddy bears everywhere. Ew.

Now I just have to hide from social media for a couple days. That's gonna be tough.

I don't like Singles Awareness day. I'm aware enough and don't really want others recognizing it. I'm not proud about it either so, yeah. And I don't care about cheap chocolate 'cause cheap chocolate is usually shit anyway, and even if I bought some I'd probably eat too much and make myself sad AND sick. D:

I loathe Valentine's Day with a passion. Not because I'm aromantic, but because the whole thing just doesn't make sense to me. To me it's a commercial thing designed for companies to make a profit under the guise of being romantic for their partners. And we buy into the whole thing and have hissy fits if our partners haven't gotten cards or presents, or proposed, etc. Even the whole chocolate thing annoys me. I can get my own chocolate, thank you. :)

Luckily, I've never had any personal experience with Valentine's Day. I've only ever had one card and that was when I was about... six or so, so it hardly counts. And I've never sent a card either. ^^

I like Valentine's Day only because I can go to the cinema, buy myself a big caramel popcorn and coke and watch sappy chick flicks without anyone judging me :D

Other than that, it's a pretty shit event

I'm not a fan of Single Awareness Day for three reasons:

1. It's way too comercialised. This point has been said a lot, but it's true.

2. People care too much. So what if your partner hasn't forked out a fortune to get you some flowers? If he/she's good to you every day, who cares?

3. I only eat really, really dark chocolate, practically cooking chocolate. That stuff isn't on sale after Valentine's day :(
