February 14th

[filkertom]

Depending on your inclination, today is:

• the birthday of actor-director Simon Pegg
• the anniversary of the founding of the League of Women Voters
• Valentine's Day
• First Day Before Half Price Chocolate Day (the other three coinciding with Easter, Halloween, and Christmas)
• Hallmark's Biggest Sales Day Of the Year
• Day When You Begrudgingly Remember You're Supposed To Be Romantic At Least Occasionally Day
• Just Another Day To Tell Your Sweetie How Much They Mean To You Day
• Terrible Pain For I Shall Never Know Love Day
• Day Before I'm Sorry Honey I Forgot But Look At Least The Chocolate Is Half Price Day
• something else (see comments for examples)

To those of you in love, may your day be every bit as wonderful as every other day. To those of you not in love, never lose hope -- it's out there, even if it's taking its damn sweet time finding you. And, to any Love out there trying to find someone who needs it, recharge your damn GPS.

Love to you all.

Here, today is "Everyone Else Is Doing that Roman Holiday but I Save It until Walpurgisnacht/Beltaine So I'll Just Take Some Free Candy and Hugs Day"

I also really liked the Dalai Lama's comment on Twitter that love and compassion are essentials to a good life, requiring no adherence to any religion. Love every day plz.

Beautiful sentiment!

Surely you're not forgetting Horny Werewolf day?

Yes it's an old post, and an old gag, but it's still funny.

Nah. Today is the Official Beginning of Spring: for some teams, at least, it's the day on which pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training. Anything else is just chocolate-and-raspberry gravy :-)

That's the holiday I'm celebrating!

My uncle's birthday. He's the most non-romantic, most cynical person I know. So of course today's his birthday.

And two-days-before my son's birthday.

Or it's party day at school, did your kids get all of their Valentine's addressed day? And are you responsible for any snacks/party games/drinks day.

On the FAWM site (http://fawm.org/) this morning, everything has turned pink but it's formally known as Halfway Day.

( Sneaky plug. :-) )

Just another day. I tried to get out of town to Port Aransas to ride the ferry, go to the bird sanctuary, and r&r. But of course, the hotels were booked up w/people trying to get that extra special, extra romantic nooky. *sighs&rollshereyes*

Singles Awareness Day

Pitchers and Catchers Day, for fans of most major league baseball teams.

And...the anniversary of the Chicago Massacre, named for this day...

BTW: Love the new icon!

I have been in love with the World's Greatest Husband for over twenty years. In fact, we'll celebrate 20 years of marriage this summer. I feel so blessed and lucky to have found him and have him in my life.

To all of you out there still looking: Tom is right; someone is out there for you. My friend K. finally found her love, and she's in her 40s. My fourth-grade teacher just married a couple of years ago while in her 50s. It's never too late.

Amore!

Thanks. It's by Bill Holbrook. I've had it for a couple of years now, but decided that, until I get a new photograph, it should be the default.

Well, if you were Roman it would be Lupercalia. (One more pagan holiday swiped by the Church. /sigh)

[roman-mclaze.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine calls tomorrow "The Feast of St. Mark Downs".

[maiac.livejournal.com]

I love this!

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

How about "Bah, Humbug!" Day?

[lizziecrowe.livejournal.com]

Love to you too, Tom!

My little sister's wedding anniversary!

(The date's a coincidence, given that we don't actually celebrate St. Valentine's Day.)

[danceswithlife]

It's the day after "watch a guy spend $57 on his Valentine at Walgreen's at 10pm" day

[danceswithlife]

AND...to cheer up the love-lorn (and every other Who fan)...Dr Who and the Muppets

For me, it's definitely Half Price Chocolate Eve.

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

And have you already made a list of what chocolates are (hopefully) still available?

[maiac.livejournal.com]

I just go to the store and see which boxes are marked down. If I'm in a betting mood, I'll wait a week to see if there are enough left to be marked down 75%.

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

That's always the fun part, isn't it?

[wingus.livejournal.com]

Just another Monday, though there will be a holiday theme for my radio show tonight on Dementia Radio.

[alverant.livejournal.com]

You forgot that it's Monday too!

For me it's another day. Only special thing was sneaking some cupcakes out of the lunch room. Oh and my new monitor shipped today.

Beautiful sentiment! Is it okay to quote that elsewhere?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Indeed, and thanks. :)
