St. Valentine


At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under date of 14 February. One is described as a priest at Rome, another as bishop of Interamna (modern Terni), and these two seem both to have suffered in the second half of the third century and to have been buried on the Flaminian Way, but at different distances from the city. In William of Malmesbury's time what was known to the ancients as the Flaminian Gate of Rome and is now the Porta del Popolo, was called the Gate of St. Valentine. The name seems to have been taken from a small church dedicated to the saint which was in the immediate neighborhood. Of both these St. Valentines some sort of Acta are preserved but they are of relatively late date and of no historical value. Of the third Saint Valentine, who suffered in Africa with a number of companions, nothing further is known. Saint Valentine's Day


The popular customs associated with Saint Valentine's Day undoubtedly had their origin in a conventional belief generally received in England and France during the Middle Ages, that on 14 February, i.e. half way through the second month of the year, the birds began to pair. Thus in Chaucer's Parliament of Foules we read:

For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne's day
Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate.

For this reason the day was looked upon as specially consecrated to lovers and as a proper occasion for writing love letters and sending lovers' tokens. Both the French and English literatures of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries contain allusions to the practice. Perhaps the earliest to be found is in the 34th and 35th Ballades of the bilingual poet, John Gower, written in French; but Lydgate and Clauvowe supply other examples. Those who chose each other under these circumstances seem to have been called by each other their Valentines. In the Paston Letters, Dame Elizabeth Brews writes thus about a match she hopes to make for her daughter (we modernize the spelling), addressing the favoured suitor:

And, cousin mine, upon Monday is Saint Valentine's Day and every bird chooses himself a mate, and if it like you to come on Thursday night, and make provision that you may abide till then, I trust to God that ye shall speak to my husband and I shall pray that we may bring the matter to a conclusion.

Shortly after the young lady herself wrote a letter to the same man addressing it "Unto my rightwell beloved Valentine, John Paston Esquire". The custom of choosing and sending valentines has of late years fallen into comparative desuetude.

I love all of you. Happy Valentine's Day to all.
May you get sweet kisses from a sweetheart or at the very least some lascivious looks from a foxy person.

ce ne devrait pas meme exister. quel jour horrible; invente par des societes pour faire l'argent rapidement.

hmm so i have no money
what should i do for my gf today

fuck her.

"lol double entendres"

hilarious

but really, i was thinking of going out and seeking some roses from someone's garden and giving it to her when she gets back from work..is that nice enough?

yes. my father picked daffodils from the side of the highway for my mum once.

I'll take that lascivious look, it is much better then the starled gaze or distrubed glance that most people give me as a I walk by, or even worse (which is bitterly surprising) they assume I am invisible and do not even react to my salutations. so lascivious would be quite the upgrade, though assumingly from female company, as I am not in the market to raise any dicks.

maybe people ignore you because you seem to feel pretty non existant!

happy valentines :)

actually, I think I stand out pretty well, you can spot me easily from like a 100 yards, which makes the selective invisibility especially odd.

YAY!

This year I actually have a date. I'm going for drinks with that girl who was hitting on me on the weekend after I put 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' on the jukebox in the pub.

FINALLY I can be one of those guys people look at and go 'how'd he get her?' instead of one of those guys people look at and go 'yikes'.

Another day to get drunk & play records...

Congratulations Danny. I have school, I will celebrate it on Saturday.

Okay, I'm gonna be oh so indie. Valentines are supposed to be sent anonymously, yeah? But obviously that's not possible, 'cos to the left of this post it says who it's posted by. So I'm gonna sign my name to my Valentine, but not say who it's to. Clever, huh?


I LOVE YOU!!!!

BE MY VALENTINE!!!!

xoxo burgerfairy

*meet at 9 bhind da park batroom
p.s. brng peanut butter

you bring the jelly.

supposedly, it's glam rock night at some goth club around here so my friend and i are going there. nothing like avoiding the day of puke and corniness than t-rex and drinking.

strangely enough, i got a text message saying it was nelly and that she likes me like two days ago. funny thing is, i don't know any nellys.

or perhaps it's this nelly:




"hot shit!"

anyway, love you hate you people, blah blah. have nice sex or get hammered.

oh em gee, nelly is going to make you his bitch.

Valentine's Day is like the day when everything reminds you you're actually single? Strange concept, if you ask me.

Ouais, c'est une fête capitaliste et commerciale, et ça me fait bien marrer de voir tout ces ptits jeunes qui se prétendent rebelles qui arborent leurs avatars St Valentin. Comme s'il fallait attendre la St Valentin pour dire à quelqu'un qu'on l'aime >_<

seriously.

yeah, i'm going to answer saying i don't want to "ride wit him".


you know? i don't feel anything like that at all.

It's very commercial, it annoys me slightly. My school is playing a movie at night and I'm considering going. The girl I like organized it and will be there, but I don't know if I feel like going.

And congrats Danny, let me know how it goes man

I'll be daisy chaining it, later on.

HA! I thought that nobody would get that. A Happy Valentine to you too, sexy. See you soon.

enjoy your freaky fun sarramkrop!

give the fella in front of ya a reach around for us ol' sonic boardies.

Going from work on Valentines makes travelling even more of a pain in the arse than usual, cause it's not like the trains aren't packed enough but then when its Valentines day all those people go on the train with their boxes of roses and jab everyone nearby with them.. nothing like it to put you in the mood for romance ofcourse

haha I dig. But Valentines day is supposed to have a lot of red. But man that would suck. Thanks for the rep by the way :). I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. I was supposed to be "auctioned off" in the "kissing auction" today, but I decided not to because it would be embarrassing not to get any bids. Turns out somebody went hoping I'd be there to bid on :S.

c'est vrai, et je m'en fous de ce jour con.

T'as bien raison mon gars!
