Single yet still using this day to spend with a female I'm interested in. Heading up to Lake Tahoe at a private cabin and going snowboarding for a few days.

Me and my girlfriend both think that Valentines Day is a dumb holiday

This. Except I won't be seeing her due to work schedules.

My valentines day will consist of an hour at the gym, and another female friend coming to visit for the day to play SNES games and train for an upcoming marathon. Take that Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is a gimmick holiday.
I'm going to spend quality time at the gym gettin' mah squats on, rather than gorging on chocolates.

Fatties gonna fat.

My girlfriend is 4300km away

Probably it'll just be "Tuesday" since the 13th is our anniversary and thus more special anyhow.

Anyone know why Valentines Day is about "love"? The thing about Saint Valentine is confusing because it's about being martyred/executed and I don't really see the connection. And why specifically this guy?

ps. Expecting trolling from this post, so don't waste time writing pish posh

Re: Do you have anything planned for Valentine's Day?

Since Legenda Aurea still provided no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail.

last two sentences are probably why the day is about love. :\

Re: Do you have anything planned for Valentine's Day?

Reading the wiki, it seems it came from a purely religious thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day

This is from the Saint Valentine page:

Attributes birds; roses; bishop with a crippled or a child with epilepsy at his feet; bishop with a rooster nearby; bishop refusing to adore an idol; bishop being beheaded; priest bearing a sword; priest holding a sun; priest giving sight to a blind girl

Pretty weird attributes. Let's get rid of everything except birds and roses, because they're awesome.

Re: Do you have anything planned for Valentine's Day?

lol, looks more like a religious story about execution (gearing more towards Choofers)

But anyways, going to enjoy the day like any other.
