There's also a poem that I studied in English Lit at GCSE, which carries a different take on Valentines
Carol Ann Duffy - Valentine
Not a red rose or a satin heart.
I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love.
Here. It will blind you with tears like a lover. It will make your reflection a wobbling photo of grief.
I am trying to be truthful.
Not a cute card or kissogram.
I give you an onion. Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are.
Take it. Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring, if you like. Lethal. Its scent will cling to your fingers, cling to your knife.
..............................................................
I think that carries more meaning personally than the usual sentimental stuff.

Ah Valentines Day. The day in school where you get the most stunning girl in the year to send a card to the loner of the year. God we were mean...although we did it once and now they are actually engaged

God we were mean...although we did it once and now they are actually engaged There's hope for SDW then! My mates did that once, because we were teasing this boy who fancied a girl in our group. So they made a fake card and put it in her draw. The whole day ended with me being shouted at by the receiver. She had a go at me for telling her (well she had asked me.) what had happened.

and did Master Morton get one from Miss down the road? indeed, one year i was the only person in my class to get one, which caused a stir - it was from a girl on the bus. it was probably from one of 3 girls, but wasn't signed, and i couldn't be arsed to find out which one... in hindsight one of them now is absolutely cracking looking lass, and a bit of a slut, so maybe i should have been arsed

It's a lovely idea, but I'm sure there will be some wanting to send some to you!! I think you should nominate someone to receive them for you ! I kinda started it cos I didn't think I would get any messages. Where's that old 606 d'oh smiley when you need it
