No Style No. 37: Cupid can kiss my tarty little brown arse.

Er…ignore the teeny!goth bleeding heart…uh…thingy. I was just being silly and playing around with Photoshop. I know the comic’s a bit early for Valentine’s, but I didn’t feel like putting it off and doing it Thursday instead. I kind of like to keep on schedule with this thing. (Hush, those of you who used to follow the old comic. I know. I know. That’s why I try to be diligent on this one.)
So…I think that makes my feelings towards Happy-Make-Singles-Feel-Like-Crap-Over-Cheap-Chocolate Day. “Let’s waste tons of money on fake bullshit to prove we really love someone!” Shitty excuse for a holiday. No further elaboration needed. (Although I will admit to being a tiny bit of a hypocrite, since I did splurge on a Valentine’s gift for one person this year, just for the fun of it…) I think this will be the first Valentine’s Day that I’ve spent single in a good ten years. Sad thing is, I don’t really think I’ll be able to tell the difference.
Bleh. Happy early Valentine’s, anyway.
To swerve off on a different note: It’s around that time when I try to decide if I should do another Darkside Rainbow Live Webcast. The first seemed to go over well, and a surprising number of people showed up for the second; we had a few technical difficulties with some interference, but I bought a new microphone headset (well…got a new one for free using the Dell gift card that came with my new laptop) so hopefully there won’t be any more creepy transmissions from the underworld.
I won’t be able to do it this month, since I have that whole “y halo thar, five jobs at once” thing going, but I can probably do it some time in late March when even sleeping no longer requires multitasking. Let me know if you guys are interested and I’ll set a date and try to think of more things to ramble about, or dig through some old reader letters I haven’t answered. (And we’ll stay away from religion for poor Mizuki’s sake.) There may be another prize giveaway; I’m thinking of doing a range of T-shirt designs, most less embarrassing than the ones currently available. We’ll see what comes out in my sketches and if I have anything ready in time.
And Hikaru, before you say a damned word: if you misbehave in the chat room while I’m live on the webcast, I’m calling you during the webcast and putting you on speakerphone. Remember that.

Yay! Webcasts.
And I noted that you didn’t threaten ME with what’d happen if I’m misbehaving. (EG)
and you know why valentine’s day is fantastic? It’s my youngest nephew’s birthday. So Happy Buglet’s Birthday!
Yeah, I know. I’m the silver lining kinda gal.

Heh, this is the first time that I will be dating someone on v-day. Plus I have other love life related interesting things going on, which led to me getting chocolates for 2 people this year, and having a date for next weekend. It’s a little bit weird, cause I used to hate the holiday, but this year it doesn’t seem so bad…

You know you’re just enticing me to be bad on purpose…
February 11th, 2008 at 2:13 am
Lessa: I can’t get revenge on you the way I can with him.
Adri S.: Funny, for me being single on Valentine’s makes me less cynical about the day than ever before, but then again, considering the men I’ve dated…eh. Anyway, glad someone’s a bit more optimistic about it. Hope you enjoy your date.
Hikaru: Knock yourself out. Just remember, if I call you and put you on speakerphone, you’d better say something or you’ll be doing without certain things for a very, very long time.

I can say one thing…I’m totally whipped.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Completely. And the best part of that is that you aren’t even getting any.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:17 am
Yet…
February 11th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Ever.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:19 am
Well, that’s news to me…according to some of our conversations, anyway.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:20 am
Y’know, it’s funny how fast 98/2 can switch to 2/98.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:20 am
Damn…
February 11th, 2008 at 2:33 am
Aw. I like Valentine’s Day. Maybe because I finally have someone with whom I can celebrate it this year.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Thanks Adri.
I think that part of the irritation over the holiday in past years is that I have been dating people until not long before the holiday for several of them, so I had high hopes…

At work today, the conversation drifted over at one point to Valentine’s Day, and gifting on said day. And then drifted over to asking me what I’m getting my Mother and grandmas for V-Day. “Um? Nothing?” I’m such a heartless cad, I guess, not getting my mother a romantic gift, and not remembering my grandmothers who #1 doesn’t remember that I exist on the best of days, and #2 I don’t mention anything about my personal life to because she’s the kind of person who’d freak out if she heard a whisper about 1/10th of the godless heathen gay stuff that I do in my spare time, and would immediately run it around the gossip mill…so I avoid saying much of anything to her.
So…why are we supposed to go all out to be romantic to every female we know today? It’s not like women do the same thing to every man they know on Steak and a BJ day…

I got a tiny teddy bear as a joke on valentine’s day once.
I also don’t fully understnad why we celebrate the death of one christian martyr like this, but not all of them. I’m sure St Agatha feels left out.
February 11th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I like Valentine’s day… It gives me an excuse to buy things for the people I love xD
February 11th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Yay a webcast! But you’ll do it before I leave, right? Since I may not have internet there? *begs*
February 11th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
March 17th, right?
February 11th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Ack. Valentine’s Day.
The good: Chocolate.
The bad: Instead of celebrating it with chocolate we’re going out to a lonely highway where a friend died (by being a drunk idiot) to honor his birthday.
The ugly, ugly thoughts: My boyfriend and I have been dating too long to celebrate it anyway.
I think that about sums it up… But I did make cookies =D

Ooh, webcasts are always shiny. :3
As are valentine monkeys. I’ve never done anything for valentine’s in my life, but I seem to be starting a collection of formerly heart-holding stuffed monkeys…Funny how that works.
(And you don’t have to worry too much about avoiding religion. Mizuki can be held down and/or hogtied if it comes to that (which it shouldn’t - though that would be fun. :P) ^-^)

I love Valentines Day and all the class-disruptions-by-ninja-attack it stands for. At least at my college.
February 12th, 2008 at 2:26 am
…14th? I leave that morning.
And Valentine’s Day is my sister’s birthday. Must shop…
February 12th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
heh, amusing and interestingly appropriate. For this year anyway….or that’s just me….^_^
February 13th, 2008 at 1:02 am
YAY WEBCAST! Maybe I’ll actually get to attend this one!
I used to be cynical and bitter on Valentines since I never had a date… but, for some reason, though I still see no potentials in the near (or far) future, I am actually kinda excited about it this year…
hmm…
February 13th, 2008 at 4:10 am
Oh and I forgot to say earlier that I am really looking forward to the next webcast, and I am hoping that I can actually be listening while you are giving it. I’ve been busy during the past ones… You are awesome and hilarious in the webcasts!

Valentines day… I just don’t care about that day! neither like it or hate it.
