My bf and I will most likely just buy a bag of weed, order delivery, and watch a movie XD

Sounds like me and my bf. High sushi dates out by the lake is our plan.

 

Anyways, my boyfriend isn't even my favorite part of valentine's day. Don't tell him that or he will cry many tears.

 

THESE are:

 

 

 

and if any of you want to see more of these beauties I would gladly supply.

I just use Valentines Day as an excuse to post awesome valentines on facebook  

 

[MeowMeowMaryJane]

I love those! And I love doing that too, haha. I find different ones to post on my bf's fb wall every few days leading up to valentine's and then save the best one that I find for the 14th XD

Never really liked Valentines day as I think I'm pretty affectionate year-round... but I guess it works as a reminder to show appreciation those that you care for.

 

That said it's difficult to have an overly romantic V-day when you're 5000 miles away 

[Frizzle]

Oh god you're not another e-romance like the odd couple are you?

[NapisaurusRex]

It's just another day in my life. It always has been. I'm ready for Thanksgiving again.

 You must have missed the memo.

4 CUTE D.I.Y VALENTINE’S CARDS

 

Valentine’s Day is coming up!

Whether you want to give a card to your crush, your best friend, or a family member, this holiday is all about spreading the love (romantic and platonic). So why not give your someone special cute handmade card?

Option 1: Cardboard hearts (pics 1-3)

You need: cardstock or construction paper, a few different kinds of ribbon, scissors, glue, and a pencil.

Instructions:

Fold your paper in half.

Draw a heart on one side in pencil.

Cut out strips of ribbon in different lengths.

Arrange the ribbon inside the heart. Glue them down when you’re happy with the arrangement.

Erase the pencil marks at the end.

You can try this with twine or rhinestones too!

Option 2: Valentine’s Fortune “Cookies”

You need: pretty paper with the designs on both sides, a scissor, adhesive or a brad, and a pen.

Instructions:

Cut out a circle of paper.

Fold the paper in half, then pinch the corners together.

Fasten with adhesive or a brad in the middle.

With a second strip of paper, write a Valentine’s-themed fortune on it, then tuck it inside.

Option 3: Criss-Cross Hearts

You need: white construction paper, red and pink paper or ribbon, tape, and scissors

Instructions:

Fold the piece of white paper in half, then cut a heart shape out of the middle.

With a pink piece of paper, cut the strips almost all the way to the end. Leave a little bit so they’re still attached.

Completely cut out more strips of pink and red with separate sheets of paper.

Weave the red strips through the pink cut piece of paper. Add in the other pink ones too.

Glue the woven section onto the white cardstock.

Option 4: Cupcake liner ribbons

You need: cupcake liners, double-sided tape, ribbon, cardstock or construction paper, and scissors.

Instructions: 

Layer the cupcake liners in a pattern you like (if you have zig-zag scissors, you can trim the edges for a cute look).

Cut out a heart from the cardstock. Adding glitter is optional!

Cut two short pieces of ribbon.

Glue everything down onto a piece of cardstock – first the short ribbons, then the cupcake liners, then the heart.

I don't have any intention to celebrate it, and agree that it's over-commercialized (I found a denim-shaped heart in CVS last February), but I hate it when people complain about being single/lonely the whole day. You're not special for being ~anti-Valentine's day~.

[Gnome]

I don't celebrate Valentines day because it's also my birthday and it's a great excuse to avoid the day because I'm always single. 

 

It does get awkward when people ask about having a birthday on valentines day and ask how it works. 

[Emily]

It's coming.

 

Run. Run while you still can.

[Applepi]

Today isn't so special for me, I'm more excited for tomorrow when I actually get to celebrate with my boyfriend. I agree that the holiday has been over-commercialized but its still a fun day to show the important people in your life that you love them! I don't see any reason that Valentine's day is for romantic love only, I always give my mom a card and chocolates because I love her and appreciate all that she's done for me.

My dad sent me flowers...  at work.

We finally got Cristen's married name put onto her social security. That's kind of romantic, in a homely kind of way.

Daniel bought me this and I'm so happy.. We've been together for years and years but this is the first time he was home for Valentines day. Usually he's away for Winter Warfare training in another province:

That is such a cool gift, Kate!! I love art on it.

 

 

Dan and I are currently battling it out over Words with Friends. Later we'll play some Civ 5 I think. No gifts this year but I'm just fine with spending quality time

Thank You Based God.

We never really do much for it, too close to both our birthdays to be worth the effort. I did say I'd cook tonight but as the Boy is only just leaving the office, forget that, I will order pizza in a moment and dig out some half decent wine or whisky because I'm good to him like that. He always gets me a book, and a piece of jewellery. I got one of our incredibly arty friends to do a big papercut map of London for him.

This seems like a nice evening! There used to be a pizza place near my college apartment that would cut their pizzas into a heart on Valentine's day, your post made me really crave some heart shaped pizza!

Apart from the bit where it's almost 9.30 pm and I've been home by myself for 3 hours, sure.

 

That is a terrible idea, to cut a heart shape pizza, you would need a pizza to be bigger than the heart to start with which means you are WASTING VALUABLE PIZZA.

[Dan]

@Kat bought me pizza earlier this week.

There are a few places around here that do heart shaped pizza's. I used to get one and eat the whole thing and cry over it.
