V-day; Yes, it's not here yet, but...

Out of curiosity, does anybody have anything planned? Or any sorts of expectations?

Personally, I don't really expect anything, but like with any other day, I guess you can't know for sure. I have no special plans, other than to perhaps get rid of excess candy that I have. Obviously, I have no special other, so I don't have any sorts of plans when it comes to special things. I'll probably just exchange with friends, though, so that's fine with me.

Well, I never really heard of exchanging with just friends on V-Day, but sure knock yourself out. :P

Me and Nell probably won't do much. Since I don't have a way to school, then I dunno what we'll do. *shrug*

You haven't? Lol. Kids in elementary school usually do it. Like, almost guaranteed. Granted, I'm in high school, but it's really pretty common to have people give you chocolate or whatever. Just a little something. Most of the candy I've gotten is just that; in the name of platonic relationships. :P

Well that's exactly my point. I remember it in elementary... I mean, those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles valentines and the Wolverine-shaped candies were a real kick that year. But come on - high school? HA! Instead, you get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pirated DVDs and Wolverine-shaped reefer.

Our candy isn't, like, themed, though. And it's usually always chocolate, but always edible. I don't remember anything that was an incredible hit in the past; in my mind, candy is candy.

I don't know, it's always hard to know for sure. I got chocolate from some boys last year, but I wasn't expecting it. *shrugs*

I just realized, too, that White Day is the same as Pi Day. Haha. So, white chocolate AND pies. Woohoo. Not to get off subject, but White Day and V-Day are sort of the same, I guess...

Yeah, really, I've never heard of that day.

No special plans, maybe ranting or something. I'm thinking I should start broadcasting the radio again, even with no listeners. I've been thinking a Love Hina marathon would be cool to do, and it would be extremely fitting on V-Day, so maybe I'll do that if I'm home that day.

Heh, the V-Day Love Hina chapters are pretty funny. Kitsune gives Keitaro a 10-yen chocolate and tells him not to forget her on White Day.

And by the way, White Day is kind of like V-Day, in Japan. V-Day is when girls give guys chocolate, and guys return the favor on White Day, where they give girls white gifts or whatever. Supposedly.

Err.... Wouldn't that be reverse over here? V-Day is when GUYS give chocolate to GIRLS. So White Day would be girls giving chocolate to guys... so is that on the same day? Before or after?

the V-Day ones must be in the spring special, I've watched everything except that and Love Hina Again. I don't even know if you can broadcast videos on a small connection in Winamp, there are large ones but those are probably set up differently. It seems like a cool idea though, an anime club instead of book club and whatnot.

That's interesting...it's not that different from V-Day here, but just the fact that there's a day for each and each person out of the couple has their turn...I like that. I'll add that to the list of "reasons to visit Japan not involving video games and anime".

Zomg, sorry, wasn't thinking when I typed that. I meant the opposite. V-Day is when girls give to guys, and guys pay it back on White Day.

Sorry about that. Multitasking when sick is a bad idea.

We did discuss before how Japan has some weird shit over there. It does seem like a good idea, though.

Wait... *signature headslam onto keyboard* I think what I said was right after all. Haha, disregard that. I haven't had sleep in, like, 2 weeks, so pardon my malfunctioning brain...

At any rate, yeah, I thought it was interesting. I was kind of considering giving the Japanese foreign exchange student chocolate (just, like, a little) to see if he'd give me any on White Day. That would be really funny. But we're just acquaintances; do you think it applies to acquaintances, or just to couples? I know in LH, the girls gave Keitaro all customary/platonic chocolate, but it never actually did say if he did anything for White Day, lol.

It looks like we've got a mini-posting spree going, awesome. If all of us are still online anyways.

I would think just couples if it's over two different days, but if it's only one day, like here in the U.S., I think it should be among acquaintances. I'm guessing over there it's the latter, since everyone seems more carefree and thus it would make more sense to give gifts to friends instead of just a significant other.

Yes, mini-posting sprees are the shiznit.

A friendship V-Day... see, even in grade school it wasn't that serious. We gave valentines cuz we wanted those candies that the rich preppy kids passed out. Now to give your best female friend a white rose is somewhat okay. Just make sure you explain white roses because some of them are like... kookey..

In elementary, perhaps in retrospect it wasn't that great. I mean, you gave them out to everyone(if you did) usually because you had to or it was expected, and even back then you had your favorites. I can understand everything coming from everyone since otherwise people would feel left out, but that's reality. It would seem dramatic to give a white rose to a female friend you're not interested in, but maybe that's just me. Seems like people cannot take things at face value if it's something like that, and they would assume you like them or that there's some other underlying meaning when there's not, so if I had a really close female friend I probably wouldn't do that simply to avoid possible confusion, be it warranted or not.

Since white roses are friendship roses, that one seems more appropriate. Black rose is self-explanatory, and red roses are just as well. Black for hate and death, red for love and relationship. Or whatever. Red roses are also overrated. I feel like they've lost their meaning, because they are only used as an excuse or apology now. And you can only give so many roses until you're left with so many and thus when you slit your wrists after going bankrupt over the damn roses, no one will notice... BECAUSE IT'S NOTHING BUT RED!! :seppuku:

Haha. Yeah, that does seem to be their main use, 'tis sad. I dunno if they're overrated, probably, though "love" is probably overrated in that people toss it around so much it has no meaning. An example that would apply around here would be two people meeting, dating, boinking shortly thereafter, the woman getting pregnant, then the two staying together because of that and saying they love each other. Perhaps in time it's true, but right off? Definitely not. It's a joke and a sham.

That explains what white roses mean, I was wondering what they were for.

People actually pay attention to the colors of roses? Lol. I just say that I rose is a rose. And if it were called by any other name, it would smell just as sweet. Lulz. Oh, but other flowers mean different things, too, but I forgot. I used to know.

I prefer V-Day as being just a friendship thing, but not the obligatory kind. I don't necessarily feel like I have to give EVERYONE something. You know, just to some of my better friends, though I'm kinda going all-out in terms of people this year for a few reasons. It's almost worse when you're in a relationship on V-Day, since you're expected to prove your love or some other awful bull. I wouldn't care about bragging rights about what I got if I had a boyfriend, and I'm not materalistic enough to want a lot of crap, anyways. So it kind of defeats the purpose, in my case. But I guess a lot of other people care. Whatever. Lol.
