Whine, whine, WHINE!... As she stood there by the doorway, smoking a "Misty" cigarette, drinking a "Diet Pepsi", chewing on a bag of "Doritos" like a cow while her frumpy ass was half hanging out of her unwashed sweatpants that she had slept in the night before. She looked like a sack full of old doorknobs! No matter how tactfully anybody would explain it to her, she'd never understand. I just smiled at her and kept on walking. There are a lot of people out there who are just being "sour grapes".  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-14-2005 11:56 PM                     I feel pretty indifferent about the holiday, especially with no girlfriend around currently. Just another day as far as I care. For those whose feelings about Valentine's Day run to either extreme - love it or hate it - all I can ask is please be consistent about it. Don't let the current state of your love life color your opinion on the matter. I've seen it happen a number of times in the past and I'm sure many of you have witnessed it. On one given Valentine's Day you'll have a friend or aquaintance griping like hell about how Valentine's Day is commercial or insensitive to lonely people. Another year that same friend is newly hooked up in a dazzling (and usually short term) relationship and finds Valentine's Day to be fabulous. Beware of platonic female friends in that state. They may want to "spread the love" by attempting to hook you up with the least attractive lady they know. Very creepy situation and often insulting to both people arranged in that date.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-15-2005 12:50 PM                        It is never commercial if your with the one you love. Amen, to John's statement below.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-15-2005 01:11 PM                        Flowers, a romantic card, a quiet night together...  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 02-15-2005 01:57 PM                     No cards, candy, or any of that stuff here! It was a good night.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 02-15-2005 04:47 PM                        How I spent my Valentines day with my boyfriend: Horror movies and pizza.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-15-2005 05:13 PM                     I got my wife 3 Teddy Bears for Vallentine's Day. She's a Bear collector. I get her at least one Bear for every major holliday. Then we had a steak dinner at home and watched TV on the sofa with the Bears. The thing that I don't understand is the sense of entitlement that some people have. That girl I told you about was talking almost as if the world OWED her a date for Vallentine's Day! I really wanted to tell her, "Hey, Missy! If you took a bath and changed once in a while, MAYBE you could have a boyfriend on Vallentine's Day!"  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-15-2005 05:38 PM                  Some of yous are a bunch of non-romantic, jaded cold hearts! Even I got 7 Valentines! Three from girls and 4 from guys. Ummmm, 6 of them here on Film-Tech. I agree with John, Ummm and then after the romantic stuff, I agree with Danny...  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-15-2005 10:17 PM                     I got a teddy bear with a chocolate rose. And I got him a sweatshirt that said, "I got game" with a video game controller underneath. IT WAS CUTE! No though.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-15-2005 10:23 PM                        Since Thursday is my only day off from work and school, my boyfriend and I are having Valentine's Day then. We're going to go see "Aliens of the Deep" at the Ft. Worth Museum of Science and History's Omni Theatre. He goes up and gets us seats while I stare/drool at the booth until the helicopter ride starts .  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-15-2005 11:01 PM                     There is a video tour of that booth on here if you have not already seen it.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-15-2005 11:34 PM                        I've watched it a few times, it's great!  |  IP: Logged
