People annoyed me with "Happy Hallmark Holiday" thinking they were witty and original, i responded with "Happy 'cliched statement about Valentine's day being a hallmark holiday' day"

I just pretend I'm a ghost during Valentine's Day because I think it is too overrated with all the things and stuff. Some people go, "You owe me a valentine's day present" of which I find really really annoying.

Valentine's Day is a commercialized holiday - it exists to boost sales of specific industries like flowers, cards, chocolate

As that Budweiser (or is it Bud Light?) commercial says, "Let February 15th be ]our Valentine's Day :o

I never got why people hate it so much. Mine was fine, because it was like every other day. I mean sheesh, yeah its commercial but when I ask people theyre like "AHH you MUSt DIE for mentioning it! *fire and flames in the background*"

Its nice if you have some1. Its still nice if you dont. For me I guess. Or I could just be waay to blaze`about things.

It's just a normal day, and for those who don't have Valentines, it's not even that big of a deal. I forgot if its that thing I gave you or some where else I read, but Valentine is just like a normal day for any single person, because they're alone, just like everyday before that, except this time they have an excuse to hate couples.

Valetine's the only day where you can see so many couples together and so many single people kill themselves. I thought that was a funny line. :D

I agree that Valentine's Day is an over commercialized holiday, but I still like it! I mean, look at other holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Halloween, all over commercialized but people still love them too!

And anyhow, I think that the whole :Valentine's Day spirit" was over ridden by Nerd Day,. (at least for the seniors)

Oooo you shouldn't even have one according to your parents. Anyways I asked how the day was not what you think about it. I had to miss Valentine's Day and Nerd Day cuz I was in Boston or hell which ever. I only caught the begining of the dance but for what I did see it was really hot. Did anybody else go?

Or a vibrator. :?

lolz. No comment to that!

I heard the dance was really good, but that it got really really really hot in the gym and they didn't open any of the windows until close to the end of the dance.

Also, while many said the music was really good, the played too much reggae and not enough "other" music.

I also was only there for the beginning, but when I left it was still going strong. =)
