Guy/Gal's, what are you going to buy for Valentine's day?

[Bryan D]

Hey always works if u stick to the classics...A stuffed animal and a box of chocolates. Just so cheesy that everyone loves it Leaves more time to plan for robotics that way too

[JVN]

I'll be buying some 5/32" Allen Wrenches, and some 7/16" Hex. Hopefully we won't need any gears or bearings, but you never know...

Ohh wait... you meant what am I buying for my girlfriend?

I told her: "If you expect anything on Valentine's day, you're sorely mistaken." Maybe she'll get something AFTER the 6-weeks.

ROFL! Sounds way too familiar! Hermph, wish I could even get one of those cheesy folded up cardboard thingys, that come in the mail with a Hallmark stamp on the back.

-Arefin.

For my bf, I was going to give him my stuffed monkey (inside joke) and rip out the back and shoving something in there... mebbe a ring? or something neat. W/e I decide, I know it'll consist of a LOT of sparklies b/c sparklies make life worth living.

Eh we were just talking about this and most of us feel that it is a pointless holiday - a "hallmark holiday", made only to make money.

There's no reason to create a holiday to buy things for the ones you love.

[scitobor 617]

Seems like there is some sort of prerequisite here but I just have not caught on yet my potential Valentine has moved back to Texas so I guess this year I get to save some money.

[nehalita]

i'm getting my husband (our robot) a nice paint job. and yes, the whole team knows that i have officially "divorced my social life and married the robot" (i suspect that our robot is cheating on me with peter though...)

but what would i like? tulips would make my day. (stuffed animals = blah b/c i have asthma/allergies...) but i'm not getting anything ANYWAY.
SO i'm boycotting v-day (done this since 8th grade) and celebrating by wearing all black.



oh and i love how kyle told the guys to keep it PG rated but said nothing to the girls. =P

yea I totally agree, the holiday is just a scheme for money. people get way too into it

Like Eugenia said.. the day after is so much better. everything is half off! buy your chocalate then plus my birthday is the day after so thats another plus for me

[Franchesca]

Hmmmm ... Valentine's Day ... is that time of the year, already??
Man, time flies by when you are sitting in a science classroom at school (10 degrees below 0)

Well, this year I KNOW exactly what I want (you ready? Write this down):

1) Sleep
2) More time to finish my floor plan and front elevation in Drafting class.
3) Better driving skills
4) A sleeping tent for Friday night ... going to camp out at school (looong night)
5) A good turn out at our team's scrimmage this Saturday!
6) Staying single for a WHILE longer! Love it!

I dont know about buying anything... isn't it nicer to make something?

-Areifn.

Arefin...I'll be your valentine *...it would be nice to receive some chocolate.

I am too poor to buy anything...even for myself.

*Is there anything wrong with trying to get free stuff?

::inserts obligatory Futurama quote::

"Valentine's Day is coming? Aw dang, I forgot to get a girlfriend again!"

But beyond humerous holiday specials quoting, I don't care too much for the day. All it really is is an excuse for candy, card, and miscellaneous gift companies to make money off other people's feelings. I mean, if you really care about someone, you should be showing them your love anyway. If this means a cute gift, you should be doing it anyway, not wait until the middle of February.

Plus, those candies infringe on a common FIRSTer pet peeve:

"Hey, letters like 'U' and 'R' can mean words, like 'you' and 'are'!"
