i have very few good memories of V.day. i actually have almost no good memories of that day. i am married and feel my spouse gives me a duty card and flowers. in high school that day was just horrible. people exchanged carnations. popular girls got up to about 2 dozen. dating couples gave each other 6-12. girls who buckled to pressure secretly agreed to send each other a couple of carnations. i refused to do that and was never dating at Vday and felt humiliated as i walked around with nothing - broadcasting my lack of popularity. high school is my definition of the words sado/masochism. the popular kids could be sadistic in their status and many of us flops felt like going to school was an exercise in masochism on days like V.day.
sorry for my rant, but i hate comercialised "holidays" that leave as many people feeling sad or hurt as they ever make feel loved. that stinks.
