valentines

lordsippa

kill me now.

Christine

I feel your pain. I console myself with the thought that I don't need a valentine, I have friends and family and I am a happy and fulfilled person.

Not lonely at all.

Ahem.

i think valentines is really stupid.and people always think that i'm just being bitter cos i don't have someone to share it with when i say that,but i'm not.i honestly think it's stupid.

Personally I don't pay much attention to Valentines as it is nothing more than another commercialised holiday to keep Hallmark in business -- I feel sorry for the people who get upset because they aren't with someone on Valentines day but don't give a flying fsck about being with someone on July 26th or any of the other 364 (or 365, depending on the year) days of the year. They're just sad if you ask me, I still feel sorry for them though.

Christine

You're all completely right. However, it is nice to be with someone on the 14th, or even to get a card. It shows that someone at least cares that you exist. Valentine's Day wasn't always a Hallmark day; it used to have real romantic significance.

Man U babe

I'm totally in agreement, valentines day is such a 'happy hallmark day' kinda thing. I think we should celebrate pancake tuesday instead.
12th February.
Tomorrow.
PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yippee!:D

Alk3

A lot of things used to mean something -- hell, Sundays meant something up until a few years back. In 20 years nothing will actually mean anything, we will just give into commercialism and celebrate St. McDonalds day and St. Addidas day when the above mega-corporations buy "Saint-hoods" (I forget the correct term) from the church and then turn them into commerical days that extort money from idiots. Simple.

Man U Babe: I agree WOOHOO!!! PANCAKES!!!

Bob: I can't wait for the St. Burger King Day!!

Ah it's only another day, and Adam be nice! (i wonder what would happen if i moderated his post.... :P )

I guess it's a lovely day for those who have someone to share it with, for those of us who dont, well i'm not lonely, but I dont see any big deal about it. (it's like fathers day, i'm not a father (i hope) so it doesnt affect me!)

<< Fio >>

Alk3

Dermo you fsckwit, you gave away the whole Alk3 thing! Damn you, but you did guess without me telling you so it's okay I suppose.

alaskagirl

oh! oh! oh! the game's up!!!!!! i know whats going on!!! am i the last one? as always? oh drat. probably. well. maybe im not. oh well, but if im right i feel damnd smart!!!!!


Valentines day: urg. i think we should all arrange a major romantic/friendly day some other time in the year where we can all send each other random hallmark cards that say " happy 40th birthday" and "congratulations on your new baby with your 5th wife" and the like. oooh!!!! and we could call it "our paths were meant to cross like the arms of the "y" in CTYI" day! ooh! i think the caffiene from that cup of coffee is kicking in and i will probably read this tomorrow and wonder what in the fsck i was thinking when i wrote this. i suggest that we celebrate this holiday on May somethingeth. Any suggestions?

Yes, that would be amusing to see... wanna try it?

Didnt thinks so.:rolleyes:

lordsippa

ok. firstly: felt like sh!t yesterday.
secondly: i don't pay attention to valentines much it's just (see above) and i needed to bitch bout something. plus it just kinda pisses me off to see people get so caught up in it.
thirdly: boyfriend adam. actually... just realised someone will take that seriously... oh well! lucky me!
fourthly: Fio please edit his post!
fifthly: bob? as in evil?
sixthly: i can't remember what i was gonna say.


And let me be the first to say: HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Crash

Yes, that is Bob as in evil.

I can understand why people get especially lonely on valentines day. Its designed to remind people of the person they care about, and for those who don't have someone, i can understand it.


:DSo i am personally offering myself as a date to the highest bidder

Alk3

I am Evil? =(

Anyway, I offer €72326 for Neils' company.

lordsippa

I'd bid but then that'd be prostituting and we all know that's illegal now don't we.

Unless you're Fio.

Anyway, Neil's mine! ALL MINE! And so's his sister!


On another note:
"She's the one for me! She's everything I really need oh yeah!
She's the one for me! She's my one and only!"

nopes. not in love. just listening to some good ol' pumpkins.

Crash

You are gonna get stabbed and kicked v. hard. :mad:

So, any other bids? Sven, your cheque bounced, so no, you no longer own me

Ferror

Hey. I thought we had a deal?

Crash

You didnt service me like you said you would!!

Ferror

I thought i worked that off?:o

lordsippa

I'll tell you what neil, i'll pay in lovin' and service you regularly!

I'll even clean you out after use!

Cait

WhiteWashMan

That was all in the name of a good days profit. If you have a problem take it up with my owner!

Neil has a sister?

<< Fio >>

Crash

Yes, i have a sister, one who Sven won't stop slagging me about.

I may have to neuter him.

Ferror

Not bad- Perhaps a charity fund could be set up to pay for the postage of Sven to the secret island where the "Surgery" actually takes place.

that's really really fantastic!!you and i and laura and any other appreciation group members should go there and celebrate it.oh,and frank too,because without him,we wouldn't have become the appreciative people we are now.

sisob

Cait

Alk3

sisob; yeah -- that Bob.

SOL

I think we should set up asympathy fund so we can collect sympathy for me

smiles

Hey, *hug* Cormac, sorry about last night, other stuff was up and i couldnt get away. Its not the end of the world.

Me on the other hand is in an incredibly good mood, despite singleness, the world is pretty shiny at the moment

We're all (in general) not sick and not unhappy, well not majorily!

I'm mid mocks (as in I just finished Maths I and have French in 30 mins...) but here I am listening to "Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight" (REM) and "This goes out to the one I Love" (REM).

*hug* *smiles* and lots of platonic love,

<< Fio >>

Crash

I'm strangely happy too, as i now have all my CTYI pics up on my wall. Everyone look so different, cus its summertime, and mark had long blond on top hair, and with a greenish tinge, and fio is asleep on the bus, looking to all as if she's dead.

Those were good times:D

/me runs quickly before fio reads this

qwidgybo

this one goes out to cormac:

*hhhhug*

<< Fio >>

SOL

ooh I remember that!!!
now i am happy

Typedef

The Japanese have us on this one.

On Valentines day the girl gets the guy a gift and then in March the guy gets the girl a gift, so can you imagine how easy that makes the guy's life? None of this oh will I get girl X or Y a gift or send girl n a card because it's the girl that has to make the first move..... no wonder the Japs are taking over the world!

Asuka

Hai... so desu!

A

Crash

Yes fio, it was that time. ask mark for the pics, he scanned them after CTYI.

I think he lost a few of them at some point though

Hehe, it was quite funny though, cus you actually looked dead!!

sisob

i have 24 scanned photos.

and about loosing photos - i think i left 3 photos on my scanner where they remained for the last few months - ill see if i can find them

smiles

Yay!

Will you put them online?

<< Fio >>

sisob

it'll take a while. there in paint shop pro format - so i have to find paint shop pro, reboot into windows (im in linux of course)/ install it - convert them to jpegs - then find some webspace to put them on

but for you fio, my dear, i shall bother to do it

smiles

hehe, just email them in PSP format to me and i'll convert them (its already installed here... :P )


You're great!

*hug*

<< Fio >>

sisob

well in psp they are 33mbs so i think i'll convert them first :-)

ill send them 2 u tomorrow

imp

Download IrfanView, can read/convert to just about any kind of Image file (including .psp) and its much smaller than crappy PaintShop Pro.

}:>

Crash

Would it not be just as easy to wait a few days, then i'll get them scanned and put up on ad-free webspace?

Actually no, screw that. i just remembered i put a selection of the pictures into a big picture frame, which now hangs on my wall!

Yay!

Scarinae

Yay, it's Ailbhe, late as usual since I haven't been online since before my mocks (they're over by the way. OVER!!! Yay *hugs*)
I have a boyfriend and I'm still not overly bothered about Valentine's Day; I see it more as a day to tell my family and friends that I love them. Then again, I do this all the time so it's not hugely significant, but still...
My point is that it isn't only single people that grumble about Valentine's Day as being a symbol of capitalist commercialism in our modern consumer society - anyone who saw me in the week before Valentine's Day got a lecture on it from me. Be glad that I wasn't at reunions around that time

Luv y'all @&gt;->- - (that's meant to look like a rose)

Fishie xxx

Scarinae

Oh guess what i FINALLY finished my camera film so I've sent it in to be developed - hopefully I will have my precious CTYI photos soon!

Sour Skittles kick ass!!

<FISH><

qwidgybo

yes,sour skittles are soooo good.as are double deckers and halls soothers in peach and raspberry flavour.

smiles

get those photos done mark?
