Uhm...I had a bad date tonight. First of all, my GF & I were talked into a double date, with a couple who was a blind date. So, they were extremely awquered?(Is that spelt right?) Bad situation. So, I eat a little of my dinner, & feel like throwing up..badly. I hid it, then my GF said "lets go out to the car, I want to give you your present!". Heh...I didn't feel well. So, yeah...I ruined the whole evening. By time I got home, I felt all better...which still sucked. She called, made sure I was o.k, & whatnot. But, I was so pissed off at myself...because...in the back of a car...and I almost threw up...you ge the picture? So, I got home, & punched myself in the gut...heh. And so, ends my night. HAHAHAHA Frickin' HA! oye...oh well. I hope that story makes some of you feel better. I remember so many years that went by, hearing a story like that always cheered me up. So, this was my attempt to cheer you guys up! :D
Sure, I'm in pain...and my girlfriend doesn't want to kiss me now :mad: :rolleyes: :mad: :( :( :( , but, I'll live. I can always see her tomarrow...find some alone time ;) ..hopefully...*sigh* :(

Wow. Good to see people as happy as I am out there. If you want my back story on V-day, read the 'who wants to be my valentine' post. Here's what I did: I sat around the house, loathed, went manic, felt depressed, rued some more, tinkered with some mechanics, felt angry, went manic again, then calhoun gave me an idea. (DON'T EVER GIVE ME IDEAS) and so now I'm composing another sub-plot in my flash animation. Joy. If you couldn't tell, finding Ms. right, or preferably, Ms. rightchan, would probably make me a considerably happier, more productive person, but certain things like FATE and COLD, UNFEELING HUMAN NATURE prevent this. Oh, yeah, and the fact that LONELINESS SO DAMN WELL ENJOYS MY COMPANY. Perhaps my rants will give you insight into my insanity, or at least let you feel a helluva lot better about your day.

Now if you'll excuse me, since my second flame thrower is going unused, I'm feeling even angrier and now the YMCA must succumb to the same firey fate as the orphanage. Joy.

lol, that's exactly what I did every year for about...10 years.

The strange thing is..I always enjoyed being lonely. No cold hearts to hurt me, when I was alone. But now...eh. She has a warm heart, & loves me...but for some reason, I just hurt myself...I act like there's a problem when there isn't. Eh....

sometimes, I think I'm better off alone. I always was a loner. But, then again...there's an even better feeling I get when I'm with her...hmm...emotions suck! :p

Yeah. The only way to fill my empty heart on valentine's day is with blood. But not my own blood. For you see, I need that blood in case i actually go over the edge and make an attempt on my life, like say trying to stake a vampire. That's why I need the blood of others to fill it. And that's how I started a little phenomena that occurs whenever I'm feeling particulraily down. You may know it as chewpacabra. I'm going to go drink more sweet, sweet venom-laced wassail now.

HAPPY [YEVON]DAMN VALENTINES DAY!

Well, me and my GF both had to work- luckily, we work at the same place. I got her a card and a half dozen roses and.... then we had to go because her mom wanted her home. It's all good though, cause we've got the whole day together tomorrow, so that'll make up for it...

Oh, and JustJack... get well :p Tough break, man....

Well I was told not to expect anything because he didn't have any money. I thought he was joking just to surprise me. Surprise! He wasn't joking :mad:

Hey Zorakfan, don't get yourself so tied up in knots about it. Your time will come. Trust me, the less you obsess about it, the easier it will be to find someone. That's what happened to me, but of course right now I'd trade him for a cheeseburger :rolleyes:

I got my Valentine's Day presents a little early, because my birthday was just last week, and since we didn't know when we'd see each other again (He lives in another city now), he gave them to me then. I got Godiva chocolates, a ring, and........um...... er....... chocolate body paint- hmm, I wonder if that's too raunchy for this board... I'm sure Maxie will take care of things ;)

I plan to have flowers delivered to him and mail (yes- mail) him a bunch of drawings.

Last year was even better! He got me a dozen roses, a card, chocolate, candy, two bears, a bottle of bubble bath, a pin, a necklace, and heart balloons. I think I forgot something there, but you get the point :) He upstaged all the boyfriends at school and had their girls mad at them. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Ah well. Valentine's Day is always a little sad for me, whether single or plural. It was my dad's birthday. He's dead, by the way. I usually end the day in the cemetary. But what can you do?

*sigh* To be young and romantic again. For our first V-Day he had 2 dozen roses sent to me at work. Now? Can't even make a card on the 'puter?? You're a lucky gal - I just loooove chocoloate ;)

Sorry to hear about your dad though :(

Well, now I feel even more depressed. Sigh... Elven Moon has never had a Valentine (or even a BF for that matter), so V-Day is just annoying and makes my day a little less great. At least I save a lot of money and heartache this way... right?

How old am I? I'll be 21 soon.

I'm always miserable around this time of year. Today, Feb 15, happens to be the fourth anniversary of the day my third ex--who had fallen out of my life a month before over some idiocy, long sad stupid story--decided abruptly to come back into my life--and I was with someone else at the time, so I wound up balancing two relationships and enduring a lot of jealous tantrums. I realize how badly I buggered up telling the about each other and moving on so fast to begin with rather than tying up the loose ends on the first affair. I've spent the last four cold, lonely years trying to make up for my mistake and maybe get back together with her.
To make matters worse, my brother's having problems in his marriage. It seems between her complaining about him not llooking for work and his complaining about spending too much time online and ignoring his needs, there's been a rift. Admittedly I'm fuzzy on the details. Bottom line--she's going back to her mother's indefinitely and taking the baby with her. I'm hoping the rift won't last. I mean, they married young, and you know the stats on teen couples, but.... :(
Oh, Nightflower, don't worry about the...you-know-what. My fourth ex had a thing about bondage straps and candle wax that'd put you to shame. :D

Hey, I was sick too! What a coincidence. ^_^

Elven Moon, don't feel bad because you've never had a boyfriend. It's really not a big deal. It doesn't make you any less of a good person, which I'm sure you are, and while Valentine's Day *does* seem like it's rubbing the fact in, what of it?

For me, it's like right-handed people and left-handed people. People (normally) don't give a second thought as to who's right-handed and who's left-handed. And if they decide to have a special holiday where the media is practically screaming "We're left-handed!"- well, I couldn't care less. Hmm.... what was my point again? Sigh. Nightflower is tired.

My point is it doesn't matter how old you are, or how many boyfriends a person has had any more than the length of their nose, or the preference for a hand. Besides- you must realize that in most situations, single people are the majority, not the minority. On these boards for example!

I guess people can just say "That's easy for you to say! You have a boyfriend!" But you know what? If I said this when I was single and never had a boyfriend before (Which was most of my life :P), I would have been said to be "just jealous". If I said this fresh out of my first relationship, I would have been "just bitter". That's the problem with being human- you only have one perspective. :p

Belch: Oh, I wasn't worried about... uh....that... I was just worried if it was appropriate for this board. Although I guess 18 might be a little young to be talking about things like that. Well, I sort of think so anyway.

Hmm.. not much to talk about. I had some flowers delivered to the school where my wife is student teaching. She was extremely surprised, because she's really good at sniffing out what I have planned. :)

After we both got home we just hung out, more or less. I would have liked to take her out for dinner, but money is tight these days...

Sounds like a party to me, :cool: . Too bad it didn't work out, though.

Sorry to hear about your dad, Nightflower. That's harsh, especially on a holiday and near a birthday. It sounds like your boyfriend got you some cool gifts...especially that chocolate paint. Never got to try anything like that...and probably won't for a while.

I spent Valentine's Day at work and at class. I spent a counselling session trying to work out some of the problems I've been having since I broke up with my girlfriend three months ago (I feel a bit better now). After it was all done I went out for a Surge (that delicious lime-flavored soda that doesn't seem to be sold many places in Maryland anymore), went home, and slept until 3 pm today.

HUSH! Dang it. :o

Actually, this Valentine's Day wasn't anything particularly special. Was sick, spent the day studying for Calculus, didn't see my boyfriend, and didn't get any presents (I got them before V-day, remember?). Ah well. It was still good :) Mostly just another day though.

Glad you feel better about that ex Karkull.

Thanks a lot for all the kind words about my dad.... but I'm really okay with it.... I mean.... not saying that I'm completely heartless and I don't miss him, but... um.... oh never mind... ^_^'

Karkull
02-15-2002, 05:23 PM
I know what you mean--I just would have felt heartless mentioning one part of your original post without saying anything about the other. Your original post ended on that and I felt really bad about it. Sorry if I brought anything up...my grandmother is in the hospital right now and it must have gotten to me.

Your boyfriend has moved to another city? That really sucks! Is he within driving distance?

02-15-2002, 05:30 PM
Yeah, well it sucked. I did my homework and wallowed in my self-pity. My mom gave me a card and some candy, so that was nice. But just knowing that this was one of the main days of the year to be in love (or a relationship, or at least have a date) made this a sucky day.

Now, I don't mean to be mean or anything, or ragging on anyone, but if any of you are younger than 21, and are in a relationship, or are older than 21 and in a relationship, honestly, you don't know what it feels like to be single. I have not had a boyfriend in my life yet, and I am 21, and it just kind of bothers me when people who are in a relationship tell me "I know what it feels like", but you don't. For the young ones on here: if you've never been in a relationship once you hit 21, I will understand how you feel, but if you do get into one, and are single at 21, don't say that you know how it feels, because you really don't know how it feels to be unloved, or unwanted. I don't want to start a fight or an argument or anything with anyone here. If I have caused anything, I will say it now that I humbly and sincerely apologise for my actions, and anything hereafter.

Nightflower
02-15-2002, 10:16 PM
Sigh.... all right, gonna put on the Caps lock now-

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING SINGLE AT 21!
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH NEVER BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP BY 21!
YOU ARE NOT A LOSER! YOU ARE NOT INADEQUATE! YOU ARE NOT UNLOVED!

Now you may sniff at me because I *am* in a relationship befpre 21. Big HONKIN' deal. I said the exact same thing when I was single. I said the exact same thing when I broke up with someone. I really think people should worry about less, um, inane things (I can't think of a nicer way of putting it). Don't judge yourself by your romantic status. Judge yourself by your merits, your intelligence, your wit, your compassion- things that actually mean something!

You hype relationships to be some sort of sacred thing that draws a line between the single and plural. It's not. It doesn't solve all your problems. It creates new ones. It doesn't stop you from being lonely, paranoid, or insecure. It doesn't make you kinder, smarter, sexier, cooler, or whatever!

Don't apologize to us for being mean or for "starting something". Apologize to yourself. Apologize for letting yourself think that somehow, you are less of a person because you've never gone out with a person before and you're 21.

If you ever do find that special someone, I wish you all the best. But don't worry so much about hooking up with someone for the sake of being with someone. Leave that for kids in junior high. :P

The next person to sob "I'm stupid because I'm single!", I'm gonna smack him or her upside the head. For his or her own good.

Now it's my turn to apologize to the moderators if I was out of line.

That's very kind of you to put words into my posts, as I have not said MOST of what you said, so thank you for that.

Do I really care that you can say things like that? No. Will you ever understand how I am feeling? No. Many won't, so I wanted to say it, and I get crapped on. Thanks a lot. That was very kind of you. I just wanted to let you know that you won't feel the same way as most single people do. People have told me that over and over, but I say to them, how in the world can you possibly understand how I feel when you're in a relationship? NO WAY can you understand. You can say what you will about "there's nothing wrong with not being in a relationship." Hey, that's fine. It sucks that I'm not in one, and it sucks that I can't be loved, aside from my family and friends. Sure, it sucks the big one.

Fine that you don't want to believe me; fine that you can say that "it's not important to be in a relationhip"; fine that YOU can say all those things, but you're not in my shoes, so you DON'T understand what it feels like. For one thing, it's something on my mind, but it's not the main thing.

I AM APOLOGISING to the board for something I may have caused. Aplogise to myself? I think not. Why should I say sorry to myself for something probable that I said? Many will not be able to understand what I go through, and I could really care less if people tell me "I know how you feel" because you won't.

We live in the day and age where it's based off looks. I have other qualites to myself, but if a guy can get past my looks, then I am a shoe in, but until then, I have my other qualites going for me. I have met nice guys over the Net, but I am the older guy type for relationships.

If this will casue something, then I am sorry for it. I will leave you all in peace, and not come back here again. I said ONE LITTLE thing and I get crapped on. I hope you do realise that I was just stating something that is GOING ON IN THE WORLD, and honestly!! Don't get on a high horse and become all moody, and put some of your posts in capital letters.

Look, I am really mad now, and I am not in a good mood anymore. If it'll make you all feel better, I'll just leave, and not come back. An admin may even ban me, if they wish. I had something to say that was on my mind, and I don't know what it is, but most of the time, when I say something people jump down my throat. Do you know how much that hurts me? A lot, more so than you can't imagine.

Oh, whatever. I give up. I said my fill, and I do feel like leaving here, as I know I will get jumped down my throat again. As I always say, what else is new. If you don't like what I have to say, IGNORE my posts altogether, but I'll help and not post here again. So yeah, like say what you want about me and to me. I'll just go now and leave you all be.

it would be a shame to lose you as a poster Sailor Chibi Otaku. I don't beleive that NF meant to anger or hurt you in anyway. People can choose to, or to not ignore posts. NF could have ignored yours, and you could have ignored hers. Neither of you though, have done anything wrong and I don't think anyone is angry but you, if at all anymore. If you leave, that's up to you, but it would be a real loss to the boards if you did. You have every right to feel whatever you want during Valentine's Day. I have had a relationship, so I can't know what you're going through. I think that NF was just trying to cheer you up, because obviously you are not unloved if you have family and friends. And if you have yet to find someone, it might not be so bad. I mean, though you can totally ignore what I'm saying, that not finding someone till later isn't all that bad. Lots of people go through lots of bad relationships with people who they're not meant to be with, and don't find the one special person till much later. And I prefer the older guys too :p . Well, like I said, I doubt any of us want to see you leave.

Well, It's been about 24 hours since I started this post...and, It's been a nice conversation about love & whatnot.
But, I thought I'd be curtious, & update you guys on my private life :D ;)

Well, I woke up feeling a lot better. I've been careful about eating, though :o :D . Anyway...I got a call from my friend, & she told me my gf was really upset because a.) she didn't get kissed on Valentines, & b.) I was really sick by the end of the night. So, I made a little tape of some 'lovey' music..sort of a compilation of our 'love songs'. I feel so weird saying that. Anyway, I knew she was out, with her mom, for a part of the day. So, I ran down to her house superfast, to leave the tape(inconspicuous romantic..as I'd like to call it), in hopes that she'd get home, see my present, & get all goosebumpy & happy. But, she came home RIGHT THEN. So, I was caught...but, apparently she had a really bad day, & seeing me just cheered her right up. So, we went into the house, she saw the tape & got really excited(BTW, I woulda burned a CD, but that takes forever...). So, we sat around & talked, & she made sure I was o.k. We went out on Tuesday night, & totally forgot about our favorite show, Smallville. Luckly, her dad taped it for her!(Her Dad is cool!). So, we sat together...alone..watching Smallville. And..ahem...anyway, you guys can figure it out. That show gets me all excited!(haha! :p )

Anyway....if my first story cheered you guy's up...I hate to spoil it with this conclusion! ;) :D

Anyway, I'm gonna get me a Sprite...g'night, fellow Toonites! :cool:

I came to this thread for other reasons than to read all the stories here, but I wound up reading them anyway. I avoided it before like a plague cuz...well, I hate Valentines Day. Sailor Chibi Otaku is not the only one to have never celebrated a Valentine's Day. I came close...a couple times...but never got there. One girl I dated broke up with me in January or so, and there was one I had plans with one weekend when the day fell on a Sunday, but she cancelled out the plans so I spent all day moping around in bed like a depressed Tony Soprano.

"The older you get, the lonelier you become, and the lonelier you become, the deeper the deeper the love you need. Loneliness creates an appetite for a deeper love, and the entire predicament deepens. And as a result of suffering, your capacity to love deeply increases.

Wow. Those quotes are profound Calhoun. Too bad I'm being such a bastard about it. Don't ask why, I just have a deep need for a relationship, not even sexual at that. But, I don't want to get hooked up for the wrong reasons, am waiating for ms. Right, and only making things worse. I'll admit to it. I'm being selfish. It's the only thing I am selfish about, so jus put up with me for a few days in february and it all passes. Except for the lonliness. And the orphan burnings. Those are becoming more regular as of late.

Well, I'm off to central america to spread more chewpacabra hype.

I hear ya, Zorakfan. I too feel waiting for the right person is a good idea. When I was younger, like in my latter years of high school, I felt it would be a good idea to wait to find somebody. But then I think I waited too long, cuz once I started to look around, I came to the realization that the good ones I was interested in were all taken and were married or single and had kids. And I didn't want a single mom. I know there are people all the time in relationships with people who have kids from prior relationships, but for me, I didn't want that, I wanted somebody all to myself at first and then have kids later on.

I guess it could be seen as being selfish. And maybe that's why I am still single. There has to be compromise in relationships if they are to work, and I guess I have yet to figure out the things I would be willing to compromise on to make a relationship work.

02-16-2002, 02:32 AM
Sailor, I don't think NF meant to criticize you or even emphasize with you in any way. I think she was just trying to tell you to have faith in yourself and not to let not being in a relationship affect your confidence. At least that's how I interpreted it.

It's tough to emphasize with matters of the heart, because it's so different for everyone. I haven't been in a relationship in my life yet. I've been rejected and I've also done the rejection (both in tiny quantities, unforunately the 1st one exceeds the 2nd one. *grumble* :) ) Some days you feel more desire for one and sometimes you're happy the way things are. I don't usually feel lonely though... and I've lost my complete train of thought. This is what happens when you decide to write paragraph 3 before paragraph 2. I think I had world-shattering, profound statements to say, so I'll be back. But hang in there Sailor, I'm not trivializing your feelings, but hang in there.

So hopefully trying to pull everything to a lighter note, did anyone totally forget that it was Valentine's day? I mean I went out and here was my thought process:
I thought "man it's cold," and I was walking around and thinking "is it me or are there more girls outside than usual" and "what's up with all the couples" and "what's up with the heart shaped balloons?" "what's with the pink and red?" Then I thought "Uh oh, what month is this? (y'all have no idea how often I have to try to figure out what month it is :p ) I thought "Is it January? What year am I in? (another recurreing, though less frequent question) 2002. I think it's February... Wait a second it's Valentine's Day!"... "Where am I?" And then a gaggle of random thoughts.

Man. Well, at least I'm in good company, :( .

Cheer up, folks. If you've never been in a relationship look at it this way: you haven't been toyed with or manipulated by someone either. You still have plenty of shots to hook up.

For those of you who have lost people (like me): it sucks now, but it will get better. Gradually.

Being single is like being in AA--you take it one day at a time.

--on the whole, I'm better single and nearly thirty than trapped in a bad marriage before twenty.
Still, I would like someone I can call mine. I'm content to spend a month on the phone getting to know a girl before I ever meet her --no risk of disease, no pregnancy, no expensive dates--but it's hard to find a girl whose willing to settle for that.
My favorite date movie of all time, The Exorcist, is on next Saturday, and I hate to have to watch it alone....

Valentines Day? If you ask me, it was the worst day of my life.

That day, I just watched people all day giving Valentines and candy to other people. The whole time, I felt I was much better off without anyone. So the day went on as normal, and as I was walking home, I ran into a group of girls. I knew most of them for since the 6th grade. Anyway, they were laughing about something, then one of them runs up and gives me a Valentine. I was pretty shocked. She also asked my if I was doing anything the rest of the night, I told her no, so she asked me if I wanted to do something with her that night. I said sure, so I was going to meet her there at about 7:00.

So I went home, changed, and went to meet her there later. We had a pretty good time, we went to the movie's and alot of other things. So after it was all over, and I was on my way home. I ran into a very huge guy, who was her ex-boyfriend. He started yelling at me about trying to steal his girlfriend, and tryed to start a fight. I wasn't going to sit there and listen, so as I started leaving, his friends came up to us and blocked me from leaving. I yelled at them to get out of my way, but they didn't move. One thing led to another, and a fight started. Needless to say, I was beaten down pretty badly. After they left, I limped home, put some bandages on, and went to bed.

Man, did Valentines day suck for me. :mad:

Dude, that really sucks. Only date girls who have ex's you know you can beat up! :p No, really...that sucks. But, in the end, you stood your ground, & took it like a man. In the end, if she is yours, it'll be worth it. :D

Damn, Jowy Blight, that's harsh. As someone who hasn't been in a fight since middle school, I wouldn't know the first thing to do. I'm sorry it happened, but I hope you got a few shots in...

Man, that just sucks.
