I hope you all gets lots of hugs, kisses, roses and candy.

Make sure that you spoil the one you love.

If you don't have anyone ... then go out with a friend to a fancy place and have yourself a good time.

Then tomorrow everyone report back here and let us know what you did for Valentine's day.

No cards for cal.

Well, some e-flowers from a friend, but no cards :(
Posted by November Eclectica, 16:23, 14th February 2002:
 
If I knew your address Cal ... I would have made you a card and sent it through the mail. I love making cards.

I didn't get any cards either ... but I did get some e-cards ... from a special someone .. and he knows who he is. >:o)

I got white roses from my Dad .. so they are in my office, my boyfriend of 9 years didn't get me anything but a headache. We are already fighting today ... that is why Valentine's day is never good for me ... cause we always end up fighting.

I don't think I've ever posted here before so if you didn't know I'm Cal's girlfriend. I just thought I'd let you all know that Cal wanted his card in the evening; that's why he didn't have any at lunchtime (I'm no bitch - honestly). So, don't go feeling sorry for him as because got no cards when in fact he will be getting a card, and he will be getting it just when he wanted it!

Is Cal not a little mean saying he got no cards - I feel like an awful girlfriend now :*o(

Do I know this person?

No you don't, it was my "evilly led on by staff" time... grrrrrrrrr

Well, i can't comment for me coz we didn't have a holiday together (then again, nor did we have a week ;)) but i am sure you are a lovely girlfriend Bexta ;)

Bex,

If that is what he wanted, then that does not make you a bad girlfriend. You were just following his wish. So, don't beat yourself up over it.

Cal: Don't make her feel guilty when you were the one that asked for it tonight. I am sure she would have loved to give it to you this morning.

well this is what my boyfriend gave me for Valentine's day - a preggo guppy.
WOOOHOO!

ahahha - he gave me other stuff too, so I guess I should mention them as well, so it doesn't make him sound bad. They were actually really thoughtful gifts too - chocolates, and this little stone box for jewellry & stuff, and this top that I'd been looking at a little while back...
It was sooo cool =)
He's such a great guy, and I love him so much... and I'd better stop myself from gushing about it here, cause I know the people here at work are getting sick of it - heheh

(oh, and for all you uneducated folks out there, preggo = pregnant, and a guppy is a little fish with a big colourful tail).
Posted by Suzie, 02:37, 15th February 2002:
 
Bex, wow, never thought I'd see ya post here, even though I've heard multiple times how wonderful you are, and noone believes anythin cal says anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it :D
Posted by cal, 09:15, 15th February 2002:
 
Hey - i know i was getting a card from you in the evening. Anyway, it was YOU who didn't want a card in the morning :p
Posted by luke, 11:51, 15th February 2002:

"F**k Valentine's Day!"

Hearts and roses and kisses galore...
What the hell is all that shit for?
People get mushy and start acting queer,
It is definitely the most annoying day of the year.
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass,
Before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's ass.

I'll spend the day so drunk I can't speak,
And wear all black for the rest of the week.
Guys act all sweet, but it soon will fade,
For all they are doing is trying to get laid.
The arrow Cupid shot at me must not have hit,
Because I think love is a crock of shit.
So here's my story...what else can I say?
Love bites my ass...F**k Valentine's Day!

How beautiful... brings tears to my eyes :')
Posted by Suzie, 19:55, 15th February 2002:
 
s'alright.. the only reason to get mad at valentines day is because you're too much of a romantic, and you didn't have the one you wanted.. if you dont' care about it, you dont' care..

haha
hmm ok Novemember has inspired me to post one of my favorite bits of poetry (yeah I read it, now shutup) :)



Valentine

Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am tring to be truthful.

Not a cute card or a kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it,
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.

Carol Ann Duffy


ok there's my randomness for the year..now back to being a heartless bitch! ;)
