I don't get this Valentine's Day thing. What is it and how do I avoid it?

	I intend to drink a lot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Is that what people normally do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a day for couples to eat chocolates and buy stupid cards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah. I will be staying at home then. That doesn't sound like fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not a holiday I've ever had occasion to celebrate. That never stopped my friend back home from trying to do things to cheer me up, but she isn't here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh I know how that is. Though my friends are more likely going to try to make fun of me instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Depends on if you deserve it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. They're assholes to everyone they meet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then it's time to plan revenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleevedsnow 2014-02-14 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bornoffire 2014-02-14 01:58 am UTC (link)
	But it's so fun (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleevedsnow 2014-02-14 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bornoffire 2014-02-14 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Revenge certainly is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleevedsnow 2014-02-14 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's supposed to be a day for couples, I think. To show someone special in your life that you care for them. I personally intend to take myself out to dinner and flaunt my independence. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sleevedsnow 2014-02-14 01:35 am UTC (link)
	Oh I see. That's interesting. That sounds like a much better plan than any of that other stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not entirely sure where the tradition got started, myself, but here we are. I take it it's not as big a holiday where you're from? Someone else suggested the plan, actually, but it was too good an idea to pass up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We have White Day. A month later in March. It's generally only done by women and completely ridiculous. It's a good plan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forest_warrior 2014-02-14 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Do you mind my asking what goes on then? I find this kind of thing really fascinating! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Basically girls present chocolates to people that they're fond of, or socially obligated towards. Most of the time it's home-made and not commerical on Valentine's Day. But White Day is done by men. Sorry, I got confused for a moment. In any case if you get a gift from a woman, you're obligated to buy her a bigger present on White Day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand that a great deal of Japanese culture has to do with social obligation and 'saving face', is that still true? If it is, I feel like this tradition might have the tendency to get overly complicated and escalate quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleevedsnow 2014-02-14 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Not as much as it used to be, I think but yeah. There's still a lot of the population that still lives that way. Like you wouldn't believe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forest_warrior 2014-02-15 02:11 am UTC (link)
	I think days to show someone you care are a silly thing, anyway. You should show someone you care every day, anyway. It shouldn't be about obligation, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sleevedsnow 2014-02-15 02:26 am UTC (link)
	I agree. It definitely seems no more than that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	One Valentine's day I woke up in bed with three men, two women and a turkey. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	... Wow. (Reply to this) (Parent)
