The Singles Awareness Day (Feb. 14th) 2009 Thread!!!

Well, at least abstinence is still the best way to keep away from STD.

Abstinence is no guarantee for keeping me at bay!

Well, I did get something for my "true love." Er, actually several things...

Things like the missing chrome strip for the hood, a new switch for the dashboard lights, new covers for the struts that hold up the rear hatch, plus new badges for said rear hatch....

Tonight, on an all new episode of "Pimp My Ride"...

What about the Jared commercials? Yuck.

I actually hate the Jared commercials about as much as I hate the FreeCreditReport.com commercials. And I think we ALL know how much I hate THOSE fuckers.

As for the 14th, I am currently scheduled to work that night at The Bar serving tables, though I was not able to get the double I requested. Towards that end, I have asked to be scheduled for the day shift at the Waterfront Bar, my other (very occasional) job.

Amusingly, while I am currently flirting with three lovelies, due to my work schedule, I have no worries about any expectations any of them may have of me. Plus it is likely that they are all working themselves.

I will, however, be celebrating the two things I celebrate every February 14th:

1. the anniversary of my Mom and Dad's wedding (1957), and
2. Arizona's birthday (1912). My home state will celebrate its 97th anniversary of being admitted to the Union as the 48th State.

These two events are, to me, far more important than any lame, phony, bullshit Hallmark holiday.

My favorite ex-girlfriend and I celebrate Singles Awareness Day together (if we're both single at the time, which we usually are). Among the day's activities are going to the card shop and reading each other Valentine's Day cards in phony East European accents. Trust me: it's actually rather amusing to hear the flowery poetry read that way, unless there happens to be actual East Europeans in the store at the time. Then things can get a little chippy.

Then we end the night with a good one for old time's sake, a pleasure considerably enhanced by the knowledge that it's only once a year.

Ah, Friends With Benefits... those are the best kind of friends to have!

Sadly, my FWBs are now in long-term relationships, so I no longer have that option.

Nope, no bling-bling on this car. The bright orange paint and loud exhaust draws enough attention as it is

[Sarlon]

singles awareness day will include gaming all night with my friends (all but one whos in a relationship), and fight a massive war!

normally however I'll be home alone with a bottle of wine, a "guy" movie (guns, big explosions, etc.), chocolate, and a nice dinner (made by myself).

a few days after singles awareness day though....I celebrate my parents wedding aniversery (34 years this year).

[Nyoibo]

I do believe I'm just going to take a bottle of alcohol and crawl into a hole.

Now that's no way to celebrate the holiday! It is about being reveling in whatever situation you are in and, more importantly, thumbing your nose at those wankers that think this is an actual holiday.

Okay, it's official, I've been talking to too many Brits. I just used the word "wankers."

This year, I am going to have a third date on Valentines day.

This year, I am going to have a third date on Valentines day.

It's not that we all hate you.

Wait....actually, yes it is. We all hate you.

[InSearchOfSunset]

best thing about v day.. the discount chocolate the day after and knowing me I'll sleep through the day ( I work nights so this is common) wake up around midnight, shrug and watch some movies ... like every sat

[Jester]

I am now officially working a "mixed double": a day shift at one bar and a night shift at the other.

Luckily, though, I have Sundays off. Perfect chance to sleep in and recover.

[Mike Taylor]

I have family coming down for the night. They're taking me back to Georgia to pick up a replacement for my crapped out automobile. I'll take that as a Valentine present.

[DGoddessChardonnay]

I'm working half a day tomorrow at the Litter Box (need to run backstock and get an order put together and sent off for Tuesday's delivery.)

Other than that, I'll be home and hopefully getting some pictures hung up on the walls in the bedroom so the walls aren't so nekkid . . .

If not, I'll be hanging out online or taking a good long nap.
