I hate V-day.
Mainly because all the whiny princesses ended up feeling like its _their_ day. I would be fine with it if it was an equal thing.
But W/E!

It's not my favourite Hallmark Holiday, that's for sure. BUT lots of people like it, hence the post. Unfortunately the line between "Danielle as MI Exec" and "Danielle as user" tends to blur, especially in the public view.

Don't worry, I noticed your love for V-day from the linked thread.  |

I'd rather celebrate this special day than Valentine's any day of the week.

I don't like the idea of Valentines Day, I think if you're in a relationship every day should be Valentine's Day.

What the hell is "Singles Awareness Day"? I'm pretty sure that everyone who's single is more than aware of it.

So I got three Valentines and a single red rose from a guy friend. And that is the extent of my Valentine's Day.  Sad depressed girls: check.
