What, no recommendation for the diamond-encrusted "Fuck my Face" necklace?

For VD last year my boyfriend got me a fishing pole. That may seem totally inappropriate to some women, but if you knew me well you'd know he was right on the mark. One more reason why we are still together this year…

If another man gets me a heart shaped ANYTHING, I'm gonna flick him in the taint…and not in a good way.

It took me a minute to pick up the mocking tone, but I'm glad I did. Amazing post. Kudos, even though I know that's not why you write

Raspberry Swirl, nice hypnotoad reference.

I have called it "VD" for years, and have always gone out with my friends for drinks even if I had a boyfriend. Which actually works out great this year, because I am a complete and total fucking mess right now. Anyway, I'm hosting my 3rd annual VD party at the bar I first met you at It'll be awesome.

Yeah...not surprisingly, I've never been into VD (erm, either kind).

My husband usually gets me a card...which is only okay because it's from the cats. (VD gifts are banned.) Last year it said, "We tried to make something heart-shaped for you in our litterbox, but we failed... So here's this card. Happy Valentine's Day. [The Cats]

It made me smile, and *that* is what romance is all about.

My ex-fiance bought me that tacky-assed heart necklace in gold. It's not THE reason he's an ex, but yeah. Proved he knew me not at all.

I kinda want the frog. Not because of VD, but because I like frogs and he's cute.

My only guess about the frog is that Hypnotoad got to Zale's.

Oh man… yup. Yup. Yup.

I'm so glad that I'm not cliché about valentines day when I have someone to share it with… but then again… I really pride myself on being romantic and cute… so I do shit all year round on whims because I WANT to, not because the calendar says I HAVE to.

So for me, when in a relationship, VD is less of a big deal. I don't like the message. If you care about someone, you should want to do nice, romantic things for them all the time… not because she or he is expecting it because it's Feb 14th. How tacky.
