That would be me. I haven't bought a damned thing yet...in fact, I'm riding my bike to work tomorrow so I don't see me stopping on the way home to pick up a card either. I'm screwed.

I did make sweet love to her last night though! ;):p

I guess the only thing I really bought for V-Day is an oyster knife. And it's for me. To open oysters for her. :D

I got my wife:
- Set of Law & Order Valentines cards from brandonbird.com
- Dozen roses from Costco
- Box of chocolates from the grocery store that she didn't really like ("I told you Russell Stover")
- Box of Russell Stover chocolates. The wrapper was broken and they were stale. Whoops.

If she wanted a real gift I would have gotten her one... but she didn't want anything. We don't buy each other expensive gifts just for the sake of buying gifts.

i'm so broke that it isn't funny and she's broker[sic] so hopefully it'll work out...

Come on, you can do better than that! Give her a homemade gift certificate for a massage or something. That costs nothing, and you'll hopefully get laid when she cashes it in :)

Hey don't be so hard on yourself its the thought that counts! Besides valentines day is such a commercial load of crap! You need gifts to show a person you love them now? :roll:

It really irritates me how girls think its such a special day and get so excited about it! if i know it wouldnt upset my GF i'd give her a kiss and a love you and be done with it!

Some kid walked in on my Personal Financial Management class today and gave his gf a cup of cold pizza and a note...then he walked out without saying anything.

The whole class and professor then went ROFL for the next 10 min.

unfortunately she ain't that type of gal..no hanky panky....

also, I turned back from going and buying her an orange ipod shuffle (friend who was giving me a ride convinced me not to get it). She's just a good friend. No sense in going bankrupt (yet)

heh...you're right. gamecube was free because my brother gave me his since he got a wii but he kept the controller, so i had to buy that, animal crossing with a free 59 block memory card and mario party 4. so all in all, $55 bucks for it. not too bad.
