Friday the 13th today, Valentine's Day tomorrow: seems like a perfect opportunity for anonymous comments!

Have at it, chaps, but keep it kind.

I'm having a really tough time of it emotionally at the moment, every time I think I'm over the split up, something new and stupid happens and it drags me back in. Uhhh. I wish I could think about Valentine's Day in a nice way.

Boo, that is rubbish. Sorry, anon.

My favorite zits to squeeze are the ones that take forever and are kind of painful but then WHOOOSH they erupt everywhere.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here! I like the build-up of tension before they explode messily.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm never going to have enough time to read all the books that I want to read, and I'll never know everything I want to know, I can barely scratch the surface, and this makes me very sad sometimes.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

OMG I FREAK OUT ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME THING.

I chased my boyfriend around the flat this morning. He hid behind the bathroom door but I found him and we laughed. We had a cuddle and I groped his bare bottom, which is the best bottom I have ever ever seen. Seriously, sometimes I'll be sat at work really bored and I'll think about his bum and it'll make me smile.

This comment is excellent. Thank you!

Part of my mind contemplates what might have been, and the other part says that what is now is better.

I think they're both right.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

I think so, too.

I know there's a recession and that everything is awful and we're all going to die BUT: after months of things being quite bollocks I had some ace kissing at the weekend! And while I don't think it'll be repeated (too messy on both sides) the fact of how good it was has given me a complete jolt of fire inside and spurred me on to start making some massive and overdue and scary changes in my life.

[(Anonymous)]

Yay for ace kissing! I am pleased for you, anonyperson!

[(Anonymous)]

I really fancy someone on your friends list who comments here regularly. Recent interactions at another journal make me think this person fancies me too. I wish they'd say something because I am too shy.

*gasp*

I am INTRIGUED! Can I have a clue as to their identity?

I feel really despondent about my chances of ever having a decent, long-term relationship. Most of the time, I'm happily single and really like my life, but every now and again, that horrible lonely feeling rears up, especially at this time of year. It sucks. I don't want to be the person tomorrow eating crap and watching bad films and feeling sorry for myself, but I know it's going to happen.

It doesn't help that I really like a guy and I have no idea if he likes me and no idea about the best way to ask him out. (It doesn't help that I know him professionally.) I've never asked anyone out in my life! Waiting for the true and tried British "Let's get drunk in a pub and snog" really isn't ideal.

This turned into a mega-whinge, sorry.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Whinge away! And I sympathise: it can be very difficult to make the first move with someone if you're past the "get blind drunk and Do It" phase. I was very angsty about this in my last bout of singleness, but them Tom and I did get together like that, even though we're supposed to be more mature.

I have been having the most lurid (in a good way) fantasies about a couple of people on LJ.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that is exciting! Do you have any hopes of the fantasies being fulfilled?

[(Anonymous)]

Today at work we are having pizza and brownies. Next week babies AND puppies are coming in, for yet more cake. I know I hate my job sometimes, and feel like I am festering here, and the whole job search is just shitty and soul destroying, but I am lucky really, that I don't HATE hate it here. Plus, you know, puppies and cake!!

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

I am very jealous of your pizza and cake.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a silly sexual obsession with someone I don't know very well. I just want to BITE THEM every time I see them.

[(Anonymous)]

Different anon but yes yes yes - their neck, their earlobes, their fingers, their lips...

[(Anonymous)]

I've been having an email conversation with a friend which may have whacking great subtext screaming from between the lines.
Or it may not.
I think I need a sub(text)editor.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

You should post it here (anonymously) and we can all anonymously analyse it! OH GO ON.

[(Anonymous)]

What is with this valentinr thing?

[(Anonymous)]

It's like anonymous comments. But pink.

[(Anonymous)]

I have recently started doing a course but haven't really told anybody about it because for some reason I feel stupid admitting what it is. It's only to see if it's something I would like to pursue, but even so, saying it out loud I feel like people would look at me and go 'You?' or 'Why?' Maybe they would...I shouldn't care I know.

[(Anonymous)]

My guess is, it's a course in Intelligent Design!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't want to bite anyone. Am I a freak?

Worried, of Dagenham.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Yes. Sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

I once stroked an okapi.

[(Anonymous)]

I touched a rhino!

[(Anonymous)]

I've never admitted to being in love, because I never have been, but now I think I am and I haven't said so to the person in question. I want so badly to live happily ever after, and I'm so afraid of never having that.

[(Anonymous)]

Despite him being the (lucky number) seventh person I've slept with, my current boyfriend is the only one I've ever really fancied/been in love with.

The sex is nine thousand billion times better.

[(Anonymous)]

This comment doesn't make any sense, but it did make me think of MY #7. My worst mistake ever, by far. I went on to #s 8-14 within just a few short months of him (#7) unceremoniously dumping me after a particularly bad couples' therapy session. What a fvcked up time that was. No pun intended.

[(Anonymous)]

I can tick lots of boxes sex-wise and relationship-wise, yet I have never had anybody send me a Valentine's card, Valentine's gift, or celebrate it with me in any way at all. This makes me very sad, in both senses of the word. I would rather trade a whole year of the best kissing and the best sex for the Valentine's day experience.

[(Anonymous)]

dude that would be an extremely bad tradeoff.

[(Anonymous)]

I may be pregnant and despite this being kinda planned I'm totally freaking out about it because oh my god the economy and what if we lose our jobs? So I'm avoiding confirming one way or the other because then I'd have to face up to whatever is next.

[(Anonymous)]

Congratulations! This is the most exciting secret!

[(Anonymous)]

I was at lunch today with my colleagues and we were talking about how they choose who goes on the bank notes and I was ready to go OMG I KNOW THIS but of course I know it because I was at the Bank of England for an interview during the week and I'm not supposed to tell my colleagues because then I will get the sack.

[(Anonymous)]

This is fabulous!!

[(Anonymous)]

All this valentines stuff has made me realise that I really really don't want anyone to fancy me (or romantically love me) except the person I am with. It feels intrusive somehow. I don't want people thinking of me that way.

[(Anonymous)]

Am using this to whinge in pathetic self piteous mode. Never been kissed, never had sex, no one's ever wanted to come anywhere near me, I'm going to die alone, I'm lonely, and I desperately want someone to snuggle with.

I hate this wretched excuse for a holiday for making me feel like even more of a loser than I normally do.

[(Anonymous)]

But the real losers are the people who take Valentine's Day seriously, anonymouse! It celebrates St. Valentine, who is a Roman martyr known for... being a Roman martyr. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE WAS MARTYRED FOR. Or how he was martyred! Let's celebrate him with cardboard hearts!

I love presents, cards, candy, and compliments, so you would think I would love Valentine's Day, but I don't. I get irked by how it creates a competition for love. Ffs, there's something seriously wrong with that.

Anyway, what I am saying is that you are beautiful and really cool, I bet, and you should BLITHELY IGNORE this stupid holiday. It is a commodified horseshit festival! Go buy yourself a chocolate bar and a face mask in a tube and put your feet up.

[(Anonymous)]

being in love for the first time was the best experience of my life. now that it is gone, i miss it. and i want it to happen again and NOW. this leads me to believe i'm going to make a bad mistake soon..

[(Anonymous)]

After resisting getting off with this person for ages, I finally decided to give it a go and it was so fucking hot and we had a couple more nights together and now I can't stop thinking about having more hot sex with them. Right now I am ill so probably won't get off with them for a little while yet and OH MY GOD MY LIFE IS SO HARD. Also: you have no idea who I am.
