So I had almost forgotten it was Valentine's today, and when I texted good morning to my boyfriend he told me this:



Aaaah! I melted so much reading this! We don't really mind Valentine's because the "real" lovers celebration in Catalunya is during St. George. But like I've said before, it's a day to be extra-sweet with your partner (:

He'll likely read this and tell me I shouldn't have shared with you guys E: But I just love him so much, and he means so much to me! We're going to move in together in August, too, after 4 years of a distance relationship! So it's a big year for us.

Hope Gay-GAF enjoys Valentine's to the fullest, with or without a partner!
This is cute. Congrats! :3
 
Gurl please, my music ain't shitty.
Chile please, it was a joke. You think I'm going to call the bringer of Frank Ocean 'shitty' :P Then there's The Gathering, Underoath, Dance Gavin Dance and Lil Wayne. <3 you Matty :3

Bring Me The Horizon are terribad though!

Reminds me how much I love seeing Kaya on stage performing one of his songs so passionately, they're beautiful songs too.

You missed out too cause the second singer Klaha was amazing, truly a great voice. I suggest listening to Gardenia or Garnet.
I watched a bit of those Kaya videos you linked, damn that is one glamorous man, haha! I'll make sure to check out more of their back catalogue, it's just so pricey. Some of these guys have amazing voices alright. Then you have bands like Nightmare and The Gazette who I listen to more for the music than the singers vocal talent (as their vocalists are nothing special really).

Sorry, I haven't actually been in this thread before. I just started posting on NeoGaf last week actually from a friend's recommendation.
Yeah it is very hard to get their CD's here but it seems lately more and more J-Rock acts are playing Europe and getting music distribution deals. I missed out on Miyavi when he played London as I didn't have the funds - now that is a man who can play guitar.

So yeah, welcome to (Gay)Gaf! :P Tell us a bit about yourself.

Nice one Sofo! That's definitely something to look forward to, as I'm sure 4 years of distance was hard at times. Hope the time flies for you.
 
Starting off Valentine's day by going to the free clinic to get a routine check for STD and grab free condoms.
Tonight, it's RuPaul's Drag Race viewing time with the roommies and fabulous cocktails.
 
No real plans for tonight, maybe dinner this weekend. Flowers were delivered to his job yesterday by mistake but he appreciated getting them a day early. All the women in his office were jealous. I did buy him another gift that I'll give him tonight. Not sure what he has planned, because the last two years the florist he used never got me my flowers on vday it was always a few days later. He said he would never use them again and wants to one up me...we'll see.
 
If you have great medical insurance, is there any reason to use a free clinic over your PCP for STD/HIV check ups?

I'm leaning mostly towards waiting until she's moved out before I pursue anything, but I figure it couldn't hurt to get some advice anyway. Should I just wait until she leaves out of respect for her even though she says she's OK with it, or am I being overprotective and should just go forward with my life?

It's great that you still care for her that much, but as long as you're not bringing guys home, I don't think it's such a terrible thing if you hang out and have meals with those that you feel there's something worth pursuing. Up to you though, I mean if it's just a couple of weeks and you're not in a hurry, nothing wrong with waiting either.
 
I am Commander Shepard, and this is the most fabulous demo since I can play Krogans, in all the Citadel for February 14th 2012.
 
Gonna see the ex tonight for dinner. Feeli like this might be a bad decision.

Why? Do you hate him? You haven't had fun going out with him before? Is he a bad guy? If not, then there's no harm. While the fact that you call him an ex means that he's still an ex and not a friend in your mind, it doesn't mean you can't have a good time. I mean, there's a reason you dated him in the first place
(and a reason you dumped him. Don't forget that, just in case you get a little tipsy) ;-)

Thanks guys! Like I tell most of my friends and family, it isn't as hard as it may seem, because we don't argue much and we are always going in the same direction, but when we do, it makes everything "harder" to solve. It also helps the fact that we are very honest with each other about everything (something we agreed when we started going out), and not playing games with each other. I also feel I've matured a lot in these four years, he's opened my eyes to many things and has helped me being less naive (I'm way too innocent at times, lol).

He really is the man of my life, and it just feels "right" when we're together. We can spend hours together, without saying a word and still be close. It's hard to explain but I really love him and I really hope we can age together!

Bad idea cuz there are still unresolved feelings there, which are painful. We' ll probably end up in bed too, which is a terrible idea but it's been lonely.

It's anonymous if that's a concern for you, you can just drop by and don't require an appointment. Did I mention the free condoms? :D

In my case it's just because it's 2 blocks from my apartment so it's super handy. I was also the only one there this morning so I was in and out pretty quickly.

Also, nothing beats a husky Russian doctor asking you to "drop you pants and underwear, bend over on the AC over there and spread your cheeks" at 9am in the morning.

Happy Valentine's day! Ha.

I know it's going to be tough but if you can resist ending up in bed with him, you'll most likely feel empowered.
If there are unresolved feelings, it's only going to prevent you from moving on and work on resolving these feelings.
Easier said than done, but it's for your own sake.

I still haven't had the chance to see any J-Rock acts but I'll admit I don't know all that many of them. I have seen two bands from Japan which were Asobi Seksu and Mono which were both absolutely amazing but those would be under different classifications of music.

Thanks! Seems like a pretty cool forum so far. It's definitely more active than the other forums I visit everyday as well.

Ha ha, there isn't much to tell really about me. I am gay and a gamer obviously. Love music as well. Ask away though!
 
Got a bunch of free drink tokens from a mate who works at a gay bar in london... So gonna use them up with my flatmate tonight. I think today is an ideal time for "singles parties" they would be a hit;)
 
Planning on cooking a meal and probably watch Valentine's day themed episodes of 30 Rock with my dude. It's just another day though.

Do some London party time for me Arcipello.
 
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah

I'm pretty sure that song applies to very few people in this world. Grow up and find someone else.

EDIT: That wasn't directed at anyone specifically, I just think people need to not be mopey about Valentine's. :)
 
valentine's is double bullshit because i) it was invented by companies to get you to spend money and ii) couples loooove to lord over single people how much better they are than you for being in a relationship. they can't get enough of it.
 
even when i am in a relationship i don't do anything for valentine's day

unless you count going around all the restaurants in the evening and spitting on the couples

Maybe you just live around more assholes than I do, but I've never noticed this. Certainly people like to make pretty conspicuous PDAs on Valentine's, it being the holiday for such gestures, but I've never known a single person who has done it to rub it in the face of those who are single. I imagine it's kind of like what the homophobe sees: when you're sensitive to it, a person's just living their life can sometimes look like rubbing it in your face, when they're conspicuous about it.

even when they don't say it explicitly

you know that just behind their eyes

they are so smug
 
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

Oooor...you could not be jaded and just celebrate another day to love one another.

Well just like Christmas it's a holiday that is completely commercialised but it wasn't invented by companies. The roots of the holiday, just like with most holidays, are with pagan celebrations, in this case the Roman festival Lupercalia, a day of werewolves, blood and fucking basically. Then you have the legend of Saint Valentine himself who was apparently persecuted for marrying Catholic couples and subsequently executed trying to convert a Roman Emperor.

I know I'm being pedantic but I think the origins of holidays are really interesting. We humans and our weird traditions.
 
I am not doing anything for Valentines since I am single as well. Go home and play FFXIII-2 most likely.

My coworker brought a box of chocolates for everyone to share though so I just had two pieces. One was a good blueberry one.
 
Disastrous Valentine's Day, being forever alone and all I decided to clean the house thoroughly, hanging up new curtains and what not, and when I vaccuumed, I got 2 pretty big shocks from the pipe that my arm pretty much felt like it was on fire.

Oh well, there's always next year, can't be worse at least. :p
 
My partner got home last night after a two week trip back to Chicago to pick up more of our stuff.

It's been Valentine's Day for hours now! The dam has been busted!
