Here's what people have to say about the anti-Valentine's Day pagecomments from readers in 1999"I had such a shitty day. I hate everything. I really like your Valentine's Page. " - NB "what a sad valentine page. actually I agree with you - it's just a lot of hype created by the greeting card companies. " - J "Every year, I make A-V fliers and send them to friends (as well as posting a sympathy card to my boyfriend of the month). " - E "Your Anti-Vday page amused me to no end. " -J "I love to get valentine's too..so here is one for you! Happy Valentines Day! I hope you get tons of love letters! " - L "I wanted to tell that I totally agree with when you say that Valentine's day is the shittiest day. " - B "... I really did enjoy your anti-Valentine's Day page. It is nothing but a b.s. holiday, actually - but it's v-e-r-y unusual to find a female who believes that. usually, it's just guys who despise the day. In any event, I wish you a "happy" V-day, and I hope you get lots and lots of cards but no stuffed animals. perhaps, someday, you'll get something truly precious on the day... although that would spoil it for you forever, wouldn't it?" - C "After reading your anti-valentine's day message, I was extremely awed by you. Let's celebrate Valentine's Day together !!! " - M " I liked your AVD page. I am throwing my 6th annual AVD party... The rules of the party are as follows: 1) To get a drink you must tell a sad or nasty story about a past or present love; 2) Absolutely no red or pink may be worn, with the exception of eyes, lips & hair; 3) No orgasms, screaming or otherwise; 4) No sex on or under any of the furniture; 5) You may not say anything nice about a past or present love unless he or she dumped you. Last year we had about 85 people here. Thanks for spreading the word about the evils of VD." - KS " My friend ... clued me into your Anti-VD page...I love it! We've had this great Anti VD party every years; this year is the 6th one (entitled '666' of course). I've been responsible for some of the more bizarre decorations; this year, I'm skewering a fluffy white VD bear with a sword and splaying it generously with fake blood. What a good time..." - SW " Gripe, gripe, gripe - methinks the lady doth protest too much.... " - HT "Actually, I hate the damn holiday: the gushy songs, the worn out one liners, those who actually have someone to share the holiday with, people like me who complain about not having anyone to share the holiday with, Hallmark, and all that other jazz the greeting card guild has forced down our throats. But to you: Happy Valentine's Day. " - MS "Gee Tricia, you must have had a bad Valentine's Day one time, but it is a goofy holiday. " - DP "I cannot resist to send you this Valentine, after your demolishing article about it. " - HS "I thought you were a little bit mild on Valentine's - you should have just said that Valentine's Sux!! What a gross, over-commercialised money spinner. Somebody should shoot the head of Hallmark - those gooey 'I'll love you forever' are so sickening... " - CT "Thanks for the cute page. You really made my day. " - WK "I like your opinion... Can I date you ? " - PV "You are a cool chick with the right idea. LOVE the page! " - V " ...Ah well. We bitter singles must stick together. I plan on fighting the love day blues by going to a bitter singles party with a bunch of friends from work. No happy people allowed!" - MB "...i was doing some research, and looking up what the original origins of valentine's day were. and i could not help but notice your page when i typed in "valentine" into yahoo! 'anti-valentine's day page, what a great f**king idea!' i thought to myself. anyhow your page and your thoughts rock! valentines day sucks." -M " It sounds like you've had a recent trip to bitterville. Cheer up. But you're right, the holiday is stupid." - MB " here's your damned e-valentine I don't know if they'll send you email about it. Here it is anyway. " - MT "I (somewhat) blindly stumbled upon your Anti-Valentine's Day page on the web and stampeded for it. It was lovely! " - RB " Holy Smoke! Do I detect the sourest of sour grapes? " - RM " do you know where my friends and i could find a picture of a dead cupid. or something similar? we want to send them to all of our friends. :) " - JS " but I was surfing around and found your Anti- V.D. page and thought I would send you an anti-valentines. That's right there is no lovey-dovy stuff going on here." - KH " happy valentines day(i hope that doesnt piss you off)" - J " Great page . . . consider this a pledge of my undying love for you for doing it!" - ? " Valentines are mushy but blood is gushy. What's your problem? Wouldn't you rather eat chocolate than canned yak parts? Have a happy day." - ? "I want you, I need you, be my very Valentine Valentine. " - P " On a side note, cupid may rhyme with stupid, but heart rhymes with fart. I don't know what it means, I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. " - A " Kudos on your Anti-Valentine's Day Page. Today, there were these airplanes writing hearts in the sky and towing banners with hearts on them. Oh, the humanity! It was like an air raid or something. Now I know how World War II felt for the Europeans." - ET " I know how you feel. I think that this holiday sucks,too, because is reminds us that we are alone." - D "I hate valentines day too. It really does suck. But Happy Valentines day anyway. " - C "Also, call me a romantic, but I especially liked your anti-Valentine's day page. " - EV " Yep, I hated Valentine's Day with a passion. I once went so far as to publish a column saying that we should dig up Saint Valentine and martyr him all over again just for the fun of it." - J
"I saw your anti-v day site and it made me grin. Valentines day is just another stupid holiday created by the manufacturing companies in compliance with jewelry, candy, and cards. They make you feel obliged to get something for the ones you love. PUH LEZZE! It's just another corrupt system using guilt on the people. Of course I'm gonna jump in on the action with my anti-love hearts. They are going to say stuff like, "Go to hell." "you're ugly" and etc... " - S "Roses are Red ,Violets are blue, I hate Valentines day Just like you !" - D "I think that Valentines Day is a great day..of course that might be because i am in love sooo quit whining OK?" - A "Why do you waste your time putting crap on the internet, like your "anti-valentines" stuff. In a time such as ours, were most people are sadistic and heartless, killing one another for senseless things and other nasty crimes, why don't you be "anti" towards those things? Don't put negative into the good things in life, support it. After all, you could recieve a valentine from princecharming, and then what are you going to do? Send it back? I don't think so." - R & M "When you especially hate red and pink, Valentines Day is a whole other experience. We should just have a general "friendship" day instead." - ja "I really agree with you, I've spent about 4 or 5 alone and it sucks. You watch everyone getting crap and what do you get? Absolutely nothing! It makes me wanna vomit!! (Kidding) " - R due to time restraints and other things, I've stopped maintaining the anti-valentine's day page except for the links and the comments. I may or may not have time to reply to your comments, but if you don't mind me quoting you with your initials, I'll post 'em here if they're interesting. |
