Ever notice how sexist Valentine's gift ads on tv are? All I ever see is guys buying gifts for women. What? when did it become one way gift-giving all of a sudden?

And then there's loads of ads with hideous heartshaped tacky jewelry *blech*. I don't think I could stomach receiving one of those things.

Either way, I'm happy not to participate in this wave of forced giftgiving... Christmas is bad enough. I much prefer to randomly surprise the SO with something rather than unimaginatively hand something over on the required day.

I think my first statement came out wrong, let me clarify:

1) I hate the fact that Valentine's Day, in whatever form it had before, has become this over-commercialized thing.

2) I rather like anniversaries and like spending them with vgnwtch. :)

We met sometime in February, I don't remember the exact date, but #1 has really no effect on #2 here.

I tend to think of Valentine's day as something that other people do: My meeting-vinlander71-anniversary is on Lupercalia/Pagan Lurve Festival Day, which I plan on celebrating in the traditional manner (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2003/02/14/notes021403.DTL). OK, just one gorgeous boy and no blood, but you know...
