Indeed, I don't like it as a day of obligation in particular. I don't like it as a day to be all sweet while mostly neglecting the rest of the year. I don't like it as a way of getting people to spend lots of money they don't have on mostly empty gestures.
Generally speaking, I do not ignore V-Day entirely, but keep things I do for it inexpensive so as to not buy in. My preference is to show my love every day, and the grand gestures can be on other days. I can enjoy playing with it and being romantic (I know I've told you about a few particulars), but that's just because I really love being all romantic and schmoopy in general.
That I have a million ideas (and a few actually things) with no place to go is hardly particular to this one day, which was my point.
