So it's Valentine's day, or "All hearts' day" here in Sweden. Figure we need a thread to share our expectations/adventures/misadventures/misery.
For whom does your heart ache? Why for does it sing? Any stories related to emotion are on topic!
I'll share something to start with: In my 32 years I've never given or received a card on this day. Nor any kind of affection beyond the daily norm. If this holiday has a spirit, it has never moved me.

Hearts are for attacks.
I'm making stuff in Twine for all my Valentines.

Valentine's Day AKA Singles Awareness Day, am I right? I believe I remember another quote and I forget where it came from: "Just remember, nobody loves you on any other day of the year either." Sounds sad, but it's hilarious to me and I'm still single.

Everyone celebrating Valentine's day is actually celebrating my birthday, even if they don't know it.

Pyros mixes tears with Sun drop and the leftover remnants of wine from New Years to make a highly unsatisfying cocktail, not dissimilar to Pyros's love life.

I got a friend hanging out with me and _mike today. He said his girlfriend was cool with them not doing anything today. He's so, so wrong.

Snake quit a few days ago, blues hasn't been around for years, and there's no one else who really 'makes' these threads, therefore this thread won't even be funny this year.
So disappointing.

Why would his girlfriend be mad at him for not hanging out with her on February 13th?

What I do on Valentines Day is no different then any other day. Clean, work, study the arts, work on the game, practice drawing and push myself as much as possible. And wish a happy holidays to friends and family members.
And every year I care less and less about it, just like christmas.

Got my wife a set of 'Butterfly' swords this year. 1055 Carbon steel. It's probably the least romantic thing I've done on any of the Valentine's with her. She's also working into the evening, so a nice candlelit dinner is out of the question.

Why would his girlfriend be mad at him for not hanging out with her on February 13th?By "today," I meant "tomorrow," which is today now. I thought context would make that clear.

CHICKEN BURRITOS OF LOVE
And 11 days until I'm one year closer to 30.
My Valentines Day checklist:
[X] Bought a card.
[X] Wrote and sent a poem.
[X] Changed sheets on the bed.
[ ] Made dinner.
[ ] Baked chocolate chip cookie dough in glass pan to then cut out into heart shapes.
No flowers this year because my girlfriend isn't going to be anywhere deliverable for any length of time most of the day.

Ravioli in a homemade pasta e fagioli sauce (thicker than usual), candy, weed, chill music, relaxation. Not even a special day for my girlfriend and I. This is a pretty typical Thursday. Every evening with her is pretty special I guess. (DAWWWWW)

Marijuana is like, the worst valentines day drug ever. Heart shaped box full of ecstasy and a little bear holding a rolled up hundred dollar bill and a glass tray covered in coke is probably your best bet.

I worked all day and had a really good time. I guess I'm married to the job huh.

At work today there were a couple of teenagers (I'd guess sixteenish) lovey-doveying about the mall, cuddling on benches and stuff, just adorable puppy-love stuff. They were there for almost my entire shift.
About half way through my shift one of the store owners gave me a pair of chocolate hearts, which I have no real use for, so I went and gave it to them.
After they finally left I found a little tinfoil heart forged from one of the wrappers.

So they repaid your kindness by littering?

Also Valentine's Day has crept into Friday as half the shows I watch are putting on reruns instead of new episodes because I presume that the assumption is half the couples decided to wait one more day to have a night out. This is reason enough to hate the holiday.
It's not my fault. I took care of business last night and completed the holiday in a timely fashion.

The networks have decided that your significant other shall force you out into the dreary cold tonight anyway, on average.
I assume they are a bit stupid--it's kind of like how Thanksgiving TV is canceled as well, despite the fact that by 8:00 at night even the most stalwart person will have gotten sick to death of their relatives and wish to relax with their favorite primetime drama.

Only a $300 fine in your state? I believe it's $1,000 here in Washington State.
Actually, I just checked up on it, and it can be up to a $5,000 fine in my state. Granted, that's illegal dumping status, and the littered heart would be more like $100. But still!
More on topic. For Valentine's Day, I got my wife these (http://www.coldsteel.com/Product/88BF/BUTTERFLY_SWORD.aspx).

Damn! Those are some sexy swords. And you can tell everyone that you gave your wife Butterflies!
Just not in her stomach, that would be bad.

I think it's a $300 minimum here. Like if you throw a soda bottle out a window while you're driving or something.
