"And from an ecological standpoint, are we really helping Mother Earth by sending flowers that will be dead in a few days anyway? Why not plant a tree in honor of your love instead? As it grows so will your love. Much more meaningful symbolism to my mind." -- [info] wilhelmina-d "Why I Hate Valentine's Day"

[Yeah, I picked the bit that works for people who do like St. Valentine's Day. Not that there aren't good points in the rest of it as well.]

Way cool! I've never been quoted before. Also, I don't mind others liking the Big VD, I just wish people didn't freak out when they found out *I* didn't like it. :D

I agree. So much of this culture is based on doing things that are wasteful on "holidays" invented by particular industries that will happen to make profits based on the occasion.
To tell the truth, I've never been into weddings, either.

Y'know, flowers just never worked for me. I get flowers, I bring them to the girl, I say "Here. I got you some dead plant genitals." And then she just looks at me funny.
I don't get it.
