v-day is almost upon us!

[positronik]

so i noticed that valentines day is almost here(fuck you hallmark), and yet again i'm single. what ever shall i do? i can't decide if i want to have a party to celebrate being single, which means all my non-single friends can't be invited. or maybe just having a party for everyone. or drinking myself into oblivion

The analogy is based upon need, not upon sharing and is therefore valid. It is perfectly possible to die of thirst surrounded by people with water. Rare, yes. Unlikely, yes.

Also, here in 'Frisco there are certainly people who share relationships, although I did not count them in my calculus as I have no interest in polyamory.

You are a decent person in a relationship. Yes, that's true. But irrelevant. No one has claimed you weren't decent. "Boy" and you may indeed switch to "friend mode" but I would have you consider two facts: a) your idea of "friend mode" may not work for the singles around you. b) the singles will still know of your relationship.

Dropping me from your friends list does not hurt my feelings, it will not cause me to change my thoughts or expression. It proves nothing. My best friend wasn't on my friends list for three years because I didn't feel his stuff meshed with mine at the time. Conversely, I still love and care for you, despite having removed you from my friends list.

You chose to take my post personally, rather than seeing it as being a somewhat tongue in cheek rant in support of skip's vague concept of a singles party. Nowhere did I ad hom you Ck, because I love you. I love you even as you choose to air out our personal business in a third party's journal. I can't recall a time that you've offended me. You've disagreed with me, and that's fine, even good. I am disagreeing with you in a small way now, I did so using my bitter-humor voice, and you snapped. Why?

I am disagreeing with you sir! In America we have the right to disagree!

Regardless, I am your friend. You may acknowledge that or not as you choose.

what set me off was less what you said and more of the fact that i'm sick of bullshit. if i cannot be myself around my friends because my happiness makes them uncomfortable, then i guess they weren't such great friends. this party idea is just the icing on the cake for that.

i would say you're applying alot more to this than actually belongs. but frankly, i'm bored with this whole thing. so you can do what you need to, and i'll remain silent from here on.

as far as i was concerned, it was done after i said my bit last night. so it's done.

damnit courtney! my entry had nothing...and i mean nothing to do with you. my friends being happy makes me very happy whatever the means of they're happiness. your overreacting to something of nul value, if anything i was bitching about the comercialism surrounding valentines day. there are many reasons i'm single, and i'm a big part of it.

about the party....i was just considering it, not actually planning it. if you remember, you've been to atleast one of my v-day parties. now, i couldn't have a party if i wanted to, no money.
