Valentine's Day S/O - tell me

[ktstorm]

about a memorable one. Good, bad, funny, romantic, boycotted and celebrated with friends? Traditions?

I went to a k-12 school and as a prom fundraiser the juniors sold balloons for Valentine's Day. You could buy pink or white for a dollar, red with a lollipop for $2, or purple with a Hershey bar for $5. Student council always bought a purple one for everyone which I thought was sweet and I loved seeing the hallways filled with balloons.

I actually stink at celebrating Valentine's Day and my H is even worse. One year I made fondue and he gobbled dinner down and proceeded to ignore me and do the taxes the rest of the night. He loves doing our taxes(weirdo), and the last form he was waiting for came in the mail that night.

I got engaged on 2/13 and then the next day on vday we took this amazing cooking class in the west village. It was very memorable!

When I was on tour and away from my significant other for valentines day, my gay best friend and I went to waffle house, dressed like white trash. It was so much fun.

Best one to date was a few years ago when DH and I went to Legoland. Band, full bar, catered, no kids. It was great!

One more- when I was in college I handed out Disney princess Valentine's. I normally opened with, "who's your favorite Disney princess?" Please note I went to a engineering school that was 80% male. And yes, they did have favorites!

When I was in the 7th grade my "boyfriend" had a mutual friend deliver my gift (we met through a bowling league and went to different schools). My gift? Off brand chocolate peanut butter cups and a break-up poem written on construction paper cut into a heart shape, with a piece of the heart cut out. Lol.

Those chocolates were awful so I gave them away and me and my friends laughed about the break-up.

When I was in HS, I had went on a date with a guy a few times and Vday was approaching. I wasn't really crazy about him, and wasn't going to keep seeing him much longer, but I thought I should get him a little something for Vday. The date was approaching quickly and my friends were going shopping, so I just asked them to get him something from me. They did, but when they gave it to me, it was already wrapped. That should've thrown some flags, but I was a stupid freshman and they told me it was something (I can't even remember what), so I went with it. Anyway, I gave it to him on Vday, and it wasn't what they told me - it was a cheesy singing flower pot. It was terrible, and I about died, but played it off and didn't tell him what happened. He acted like he liked it, but I'm sure he was WTF?!

Our first VD in 2000 was when I bought us matching pj bottoms that we still have, it was rainy, I wasn't feeling good and was sad he had to work that night. We went to the McDonalds drive thru for lunch because I wanted nuggets and brought them back to eat in my room lol. He gave me roses.

[thedahliharpa]

Oh yes, a boy I liked down the street in 5th grade ran up to me and threw a crumpled up lunch bag at me and said "Here!" and ran off. It was a friendship ring.

In 10th Grade I was desperately in love with this boy in youth orchestra who played cello. His name was Rodney.
It was unrequited because he ended up realising he was gay in college, but anyway I made him this elaborate artwork for V Day.
He was like, ummm.. thanks.? and told everyone else that he threw it out.

So mortifying.

Ourfirst Valentine's Day was memorable because I injured my knee a few days prior. I was on crutches and couldn't even bend my knee. I was taking a shower and he came home on his lunch and put flowers and a sapphire and diamond necklace In our room We went out to chipotle for dinner because i didn't want to go anywhere

-first Valentine's Day in 2000 also on the 13th Dh told me he loved me. Then on the day gave me a poem that said I love you. I baked him a heart shaped cake.

-the following year he made me a Sacher torte and we went to see the movie Chocolat.

My college boyfriend made me a fake first page of a newspaper and put it in a frame back in '98.

My senior year of hs my school did the whole "buy a rose" thing and when they came around to deliver them, I got the most of alllll. Lol. I wasn't super popular and all the popular girls stared at me. It felt glorious.

I got a dozen from my actual boyfriend at the time and then a boy who had a crush on me also sent me a dozen so I just had a shitload. Epic.

The day before Valentine's Day 2005 I was at a funeral for a man I considered my grandpa (he was my dad's godfather). And after the service I had a voicemail from my boyfriend breaking up with me. I was only 14, so obviously it wasn't a super serious relationship, but it still sucked. My mom let me skip school the next day. Haha.
I dished the horribleness back out on Valentine's Day 2007 when I broke up with a guy the day of. Oops.
We don't really celebrate really, so I can't really think of any good memories. Our birthdays are in March and April and our anniversary is in May so we just save all the good stuff for those months I guess.

My best Valentine's Day was in 2009. I was finishing my student teaching in Florida and Jeff was in Louisville. We met halfway Birmingham. it was nothing fancy, but we had so much fun together. I remember sitting up at the hotel bar that night laughing and watching the NBA dunk contest.
