St. Valentine's Day Not the Massacre

This will infact be the first Valentines ever on which I won't be single, so I'm gonna make the most of it. Thankfully, next week is half-term, so her teacher-training won't be making her get up at 5.30am on Monday morning.

I like Valentines, but the man-thing doesn't, so we don't generally do anything. This year, my best friend was going to have a little, girls only cocktail party. Which, you know, one sort of assumes is a platonic thing, even given that we have a lot of lesbian friends and she is bi, herself. But noooooo, you can bring a date, if the date is a girl.
So I asked the man-thing if he'd make plans with me so I could boycott this little cocktail party, and he said yes, as long as we didn't do anything typically Valentinesish, and the following exchange occurred:
Me: what are typical vday things?
Him: I don't know. romantic dinner. chocolate and flowers. awful thing, y'know?
Me: mmm chocolate.
anyway, why would I ever want to do typical valentines day things?
Him: I didn't figure you ever would.
so what DO you want to do?
Me: ...go look at sony readers?
Him: you're the best girlfriend.

Valentines day to me is a lot like Halloween. There's chocolate (candy) and the ladies dress more scantily. The combination results in more kinkiness than normal.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

That sounds like just about the most awesome thing to do for valentines day in the history of ever.

I guess...except that I'm the only would who would have brought a dude anyway...and all my lady friends will already be there...with lady dates.
Edit:
Oh wait, it may have just got awesome. My friend has suggested we tie my sister and her girlfriend to chairs at the opposite ends of the room and tase them if they try to make out. That could really be the most awesome Valentines ever.

What, each hopping down the length of the room, straining to get close to each other, then just before their lips meet MUTHAFUCKIN LIGHTNING TIME!?
I approve.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

The wife and I are at the point that we feel that we can express our feelings without presents, so we decided to go out to eat, and then instead of exchanging presents we'll get ourselves a flatscreen tv. Nice.
My wife is from Ohio, and in that part of the country they celebrate Sweetest Day, which is exactly like valentine's day but in the summer. Blatantly created by Hallmark to boost sales. I absolutely refuse to paricipate in Sweetest Day iin any capacity, so the wife usually gets a card from her dad.

Yeah, while i was looking for a Valentines card yesterday I saw something about Sweetest day and had no friggin clue. So thanks.
The gf's pretty easy for VDay. A card and some chocolate and she's happy as a pig in shit (Please dont tell her i used that comparison with her).

Sweetest day is perhaps the worst thing ever. Even worse than St. Patricks day in NYC - fucks sake bitches, bars are open 24 hours ALL YEAR LONG. Still remember the first time someone asked me if I got a card for that day. Definitely had a True Lies moment there, with the punching of her in the face.

I don't mind valentines day so much, and the GF dosen't hate it, so we generally at least go out to dinner, don't do presents, maybe a card.
This year because we are saving up to move and whatnot, there will be no celebration besides us sitting at home with each other and watching Eureka in bed. I can certainly think of worse ways of celebrating.

I never understood lingerie. If it served its purpose, it just comes off anyway. Why not skip that rather expensive step and just get nekkid?

I, for one, would rather see a woman in lingerie than naked. There's something disgusting about a naked body. Of course, maybe I'm just strange.
I have to grab a card for the girlfriend, yet. That's pretty much all that we're going to do (first Valentine's Day together). Tomorrow we're probably going to sit around and watch movies unless she gets a hair up her butt about going out.

My girlfriend is a thousand k's away, sadly, so I won't be participating in any V-Day hijinks. I'll probably send her some flowers, but that's about it. I asked her out about 3 days before Valentine's Day last year without realising the date (this day last year in fact), so we didn't do anything last year. Well, not entirely true, but you know.
She's not a fan anyway, which is rather nice actually. No pressure.

heh, we should start a club.

This is the mistake a lot of girls make it seems in regards to our mindset. Of course we want you naked, but there's a part in between there where seeing you in sexy underwear (and before that, knowing you're wearing it) adds to the experience.
I'm trying to teach the gf this, but it's a time consuming process. I've at least managed to make her get rid of the stuff she had from high school

I dunno. I mean, I like lingerie cuz it's pretty/sexy, and makes girls feel neat when they're wearing it but no one knows, but my attitude that it's silly comes from the interactions I've had with men about lingerie. My dude friends and exes and current man-thing are all mostly in agreement that "I mean, I guess it's nice, but I'd rather just see you naked."

The thing about lingerie is it hints and teases. Because of this, besides just being fucking awesome, lingerie is designed, specifically, to make a woman look sexier than normal. When a woman thinks she looks sexy, she feels sexy. When a woman feels sexy she ACTS sexy.
Lingerie has resulted in some of the greatest times I can remember.
Bah. Just "seeing you naked" is normal. Lingerie is the spice of sex life (outside various other things).
