Don't get me wrong.. I am a hopeless romantic...
Don't get me wrong.. I am a hopeless romantic... by @odduckoasis (Julie Ottosen)

....But Valentines day is such a crock. I don't see the point in making someone be almost 'forced' to think of romantic stuff for their significant other one day out of the year and give them flowers and candy and jewelry and take em out to dinner and do all this romantic crap that they could just as easily do any other day of the year. It's just so..... it's an excuse! XD;;; (And no.. this has nothing to do w/ the fact that I don't have a significant other.. I would feel the exact same way w/ a bf so shove off. =P lol.)

So yeah... here's me burning a v-day card. hehe. Burn baby burn!!!

I agree with you, but their is story to this "holiday" that all the buisnees covered up.A priest in a monestary by the name of Valentine.He married couples off illegaly, he wasn't allowed too for some reason.It was in the 12th century.

Yesh, there was some story about Valentine... The story has been kind of changed around, so I'm not sure which one to believe... I think he put a yellow rose in a card and sent it to... someone...

But, I mean, what's the point of having a holiday for it?? Why isn't there a holiday for the ascension of Mary into heaven? I mean... really... Sure, they have a feast day, but it isn't really the same thing... Hehe, yesh, you can tell I'm feeling much better^^ ..End rant. starts new rant Tch, naw, I don't have a boyfurrend... Boys are GROSS... XD

Don't misunderstand me there.. no, I like boys, I do. I wana be married and have kids and all that and I love romance.. BUT I don't like Valentines cuz it's like pressure for someone to be all "I love you" when they could easily do that any other day of the year. So yeah. I don't want to be single all my life.. I really don't.. but I don't want to be depressed on a day that emphasises having a love... so yeah.

I agree. I hate boys and I want to b single for the rest of my life. Why? I can never trust ONE person to trust and love, that is just plain crummy. If I want to hang with someone - THAT IS WHAT MAH FRIENDS ARE FOR IDIOTS. Huggles her pal Holly

XD!!! I was acctully JUST talking about this with my mom! I mean, I don't even think it's a REAL holiday, its just a greeting card company scam. St. Valentine seems like a load of poo. I mean, whats up with this holiday anyway? All it dose is make the mass majoraty pissed and sad Pissed: their signifigant other forgot. Sad: They don't have a signifigant other. The only reason I like it is cuz I still buy valentines for my friends at school. I got blues clues ones! =D lol! XD! And... The chocolate >.> lol!

nods Yeah, it's commercialized like every other holiday... just another cash-cow for the economy. I dun really care about it one way or another, because my boyfriend doesn't need a trumped-up holiday as an excuse to be romantic... he's just naturally sweet ^^ sniffs her roses

lol, anyway... snickers Julie, you shoulda sent this in to the neopets art gallery for the v-day special... lol...

Nah, I don't want to make myself out as a piromaniac out to burn down Valentines day... just more or less, that I think it's a usless holiday and it disgusts me that ppl put so much emphasis on it. I mean... seriously... why use it as an excuse to let someone know how you feel? Get up the nerve to say it out of the blue! It will mean a whole heck of a lot more... in my opinion. XD

Glad ye likey.

o0o0o... I do agree with ya, Valentines day ish an excuse to do the fancy romantic crappah stuff. ¬¬ They should know that you shouldn't do this stuff just because of the St. Valentine stuff o.o Besides, I'm not into this stuff anyhow XP I think it's pointless. Sending poems signed "annonymous", blushing, flirting, arm-locking everywhere! Mesa cornered! Gasp Ehehe... Back to the point o_O I do like the way you did this piccy very much so. ^^ The thight? Big deal ¬¬ Color it Julie! COLOR! o_O ehehe... Great piccy ^^; I lurve it very much =D
