i hope everyone's lunar new year went well to all those who celebrate !!!!! having two celebrations in one week is very odd for me.
i. is valentine's day a big tradition where you are ? in my home country it is seen as mostly a commercial holiday but in france there are a lot of cultural activities to celebrate.
ii. who has the cupid account ?
it might be fun to send some anonymous love letters...
iii. are you doing anything to celebrate valentine's ? i am attending a big "galentines" dinner with some of my friend group (the guy i have been seeing didn't ask to do anything so ya snooze ya lose)

All holidays are evil
“Cultural events” = fascist “Gifts” = pollutant greed

Valentine's Day is a joke here. Nothing but commercialism and making people feel terrible for not being in a relationship. I believe Cupid owns their own account I was going to give some gifts to my significant other, but perhaps those plans aren't going to happen anymore.

I'm mixed opinions on it - I'd prefer something quiet and low-key like a night in. If it's important to my partner, sure I'll make an effort, but all the other 364 days are so much more important with consistency imo.
(I got dumped recently by the guy I was seeing - first time ever at age 25 lol, so my plans are gallentines on the Tuesday and then on the Wednesday I'm going to a unique dinner experience where you get matched with strangers).
Linda had the original cupid account, I think </3

It's mostly a commercial thing here and I feel a bit like people laugh at the people who actually do special dates or something big on valentines day.
We used to get each other cards but stopped after the year we both got the exact same one because we know we won't be able to top that. This year we got some heart shaped chocolates to share. I like any excuse for chocolate.
Last year there were donuts at work but I doubt we'll get anything this year because there will be pancakes the day before.
Linda definitely had a cupid account at some point but I think other people have done it too.

(I got dumped recently by the guy I was seeing - first time ever at age 25 lol sorry to hear. was it more of a "i'm breaking up with you" or a "i don't think we should see eachother anymore" kind of thing?

Even though it's mostly a commercial thing here as well, I love Valentine's Day. My boyfriend and I are going to play tennis then go out for dinner and then come back to my place and watch a movie.

Sorry to hear, Bee :[
Me and the gf have prior engagements elsewhere on V Day, because the holiday's not a big deal for us, but I proposed to go out somewhere nice on Saturday, which we're now planning to do.
