Valentine's Day: How Bad's It Gonna Be This Year?

[lovetoread]

Here is a quiz to see how bad your valentines day will be.

Description from the site....

Maybe Valentine's Day isn't your favorite holiday. Were you one of the kids who never got any valentines in grade school? Or maybe you've got a sweetie you're just not all that sweet on. Are you doomed to drown in self-pity, washing down the chocolates you buy for yourself with a torrent of tears? Or will you be successful in your fierce determination to have some fun, no matter what? With this quiz, you can predict exactly how un-fun the day's going to be and prepare to go forth and conquer -- or just stay in bed

Part of my answer....

In the tradition of all great underdogs, my friend, you should stay home with a great book and treat yourself to a long bath.

[Xander]

Dunno how bad, but....

Probaly just...bad....less than comfortable...whichever term you choose.

 

[morninggirl5]

Here's part of their answer for me...


You don't have a bad attitude about Valentine's Day in general -- in fact, you'd be up for some old-fashioned, hearts-and-flowers celebrating if you had the right partner -- but it's hard to keep the faith.



Of course I don't have a bad attitude about that day, it's been officially renamed Halloween in my world.

Here's mine...


Cupid's No Match for me

Congratulations, you spunky monkey -- you've bravely risen above the disappointment and silliness of this holiday and forged a path of your own. Fun on your own terms is a philosophy Cupid himself would approve of, especially if you've joined forces with a marauding band of fellow singles (the arrow-shooting naked one hates to see anyone alone on his special day). Or is that steely determination to have a laugh at Cupid's expense just a case of sour grapes? Don't let an undercurrent of bitterness spoil the taste of your chocolates. Arrange a night out with your best friends, and challenge them to a goofy love poem writing contest, or see who can fit the most chocolates in her mouth at once.

You don't have a bad attitude about Valentine's Day in general -- in fact, you'd be up for some old-fashioned, hearts-and-flowers celebrating if you had the right partner -- but it's hard to keep the faith. Romance isn't dead for you, and you don't quite have the heart of steel it takes to ignore all the couples and cooing. If you want to try having a good time this V-Day, keep your chin up and enjoy the kitschy trappings of the holiday, even if you don't have a special someone to share them with. Get thee to a Hallmark's, you sweet thing, and buy yourself some third-grade-vintage valentines to pass out to your friends. Bring a bouquet of flowers into the office that morning to remind yourself that life is full of little pleasures. Laugh at the weird messages on those chalky little candy hearts. And don't let it get to you -- there's always next year.

I don't put much stock into it

My birthday is a few days before and every year with the exception of this one, I have made sure I celebrate big time sometimes for several days. I have traveled, gone to lovely b&bs, had a chef cook for my friends one year, saw a production. By the time V day gets here, it's anti-climatic for me.

This year was a bummer. The s/o was out of town and I was speaking at a funeral on my birthday.

Partner will be here Sunday and we'll celebrate my birthday and V-day so no downer for me.

Peace,

daughter

I expect this year to be exactly the same as last year.

I got exactly the same as you on the quiz, Lovetoread. Unless all of the results end with the bit about underdogs.

 

[riff]

It's not only Monday and VD is Thursday, but I am 38

and I am already having the best Valentines Day of my life so far.

Don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies.

 

[Guest]

Terrible.

It is every year.

 

[IA951]

the only good thing

about this "holiday" is the candy, I have to admit.
And the half-off clearance is even better.
That was one of my favorite parts of working retail, 50 to 75% off valentine candy.
Fucking rocked.

Okay, you win. Valentine's Day is a waste of your time. How are sickly-sweet greeting cards and the widespread worship of a little naked dude related to love? They're not, of course. You figured that out a long time ago. But consider this, Sugar Scrooge: While you're deriding the whole affair, you're missing out on some good candy, or at least the opportunity to rent a tear-jerking romantic movie while nobody's looking. You can't beat 'em, but you don't want to join 'em either -- so what's left for you to do? In the tradition of all great underdogs, my friend, you should stay home with a great book and treat yourself to a long bath.

Hmm.. the answer probably would have been different.. but under the question "Your overall dislike of Valentine's day has been shaped by:"

There wasn't a choice of "Every Valentine's Day I've had since I was old enough to comprehend love has been a traumatic event leaving you with scars that you've yet to recover from."

 

[Silverlily]

hehe, Sugar Scrooge, I kinda like that...

what Moridin said.

Cupid Who?

Frankly, I just get sick of seeing people all sugary, romantic, and sweet when you know it's going to go badly, and then they show up at my doorstep around 9 pm, crying, screaming, whatever, and I get to pick up the pieces. Plus, there's the fact that whatever anyone says, Valentine's Day has NEVER pulled out a miracle for me, so don't ask me to play those odds.

Sincerely,
Sugar Scrooge
(And Sticking To It)

So, everyone who has posted anything about their results has gotten the same result? Has somebody beena bit lazy in producing this quiz?

 

[Astro]

Aint taking the quiz! This V day will be better than some as I have a lovely lass in my life, the only trouble is she is a taxi, a plane, a bus, a train then another taxi away! :-(

Furthermore I will be rushed of my feet all day, my lunch break is taken up by a seminar and I will be in the lab running PCR and Licor the rest of the time. Then I get to increase my phone bill still further by talking to her on the phone for two hours. We both have MSN but we like to hear the others voice

 

[TigerClaw]

Ummmm, ok so I changed the questions to be male.....

I disagree. I have a great attitude to V-day. Maybe it was the female to male translation thing. The only failures I could mention for valentines were of past relationships are

the cabin in the woods. She was not a nature woman.

strewn rose petals around the apartment and then taking a bath. A rose petal stuck to her and floated up from behind her. She jumped a foot and came crashing down upon me. OOOOOuch. I can still feel the pain.

Using Honey as a condiment

Using any food as a condiment.

drinking wine after dinner to have it put her to sleep.

Hmmm, but i have a feeling that the woman that is in my life now would not have these problems. She seems to be a part of me and I think she would enjoy most of these and any thing else I would plan. If not I am sure she would make suggestions. So, I will let you know how this valentines comes out.

GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Well, thanks to al the cupid arrows being pm'd me, it's now going to be a great day. Thanks Lit.

 

[WhiteRose]

Wake me up on the 15th.

Wish I could go to sleep on the 13th and not wake up until the 15th...but then I'd probably dream about stuff I don't want to dream about. Hmm...maybe I'll just pop up some popcorn and watch the Twilight Zone marathon I have on tape...or even better, the first three years of the Highlander series and turn the tv up LOUD. Or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Then I could sing along. Or maybe a marathon of old black and whites, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" "Arsenic and Old Lace" and a bunch of Alfred Hitchcock I have taped.
