Valentine's Day And You: Activities For Singles

As a follow-up to my previous post, V-Day Activities for Couples, I've taken the time and effort to come up with Valentine's Day activities for the single guys and gals out there who don't want to end up like this guy:

Being single during a holiday that is reserved solely for couples is quite annoying, and here are some tips and tricks that you can refer to over and over and over again.

1) Get smashed - Yes, old faithful. The fire water that makes all the bad things disappear will be an especial comfort to you during this fine, fine holiday. Guzzle it alone or with your unattractive friend who you'd-never-sleep-with-unless-you-were-drunk and wait for the magic to work its way through your bones!

2) Get take-out and watch zombie movies all night - Or action movies, whichever you prefer. Nothing gets you through the day faster than vegging out in front of a TV (or a pc, if you're tech-savvy modern woman), and stuffing your face with McDonald's (or Jollibee, if you support local cuisine). The mindless violence will get you through the fact that you're at home with your 4 cats and eating fast food on the most romantic holiday of the year.

3) Brave the speed-dating (or singles clubbing) scene - I believe Eastwood's Club Dredd is holding a prom party night for singles or something, (I'm too lazy to look it up and check), and if you're feeling particularly wild and wonderful, it's best to grab your gay best friend, start rooting through your old prom dresses, and head on over. If reliving your prom isn't your thing, there's always a crapload of singles parties and speed-dating events during Valentine's, so pick one that appeals to you and go, go, go!

4) Shop - The thing about us gals is that retail therapy is the cure-all for every emotional ailment. Had a fight with your guy? Head to the mall. Angry with your boss? Ebay's right there. Valentine's Day without a date? Here's my credit card, now show me to the clothes!

5) Get a celeb make-over and pretend to be someone else - Only for the desperate womyn out there. Make yourself over and pretend to be one of the numerous starlets gracing our country's fine, fine entertainment industry. If you're not completely unattractive, chances are that there will be a celeb who you look vaguely similar to. Go the extra mile on V-day and get a full celeb make-over, then parade yourself around the high-end establishments. You'll get equally lonely single guys swarming around you, all of which think that they've hit the jackpot at meeting a celeb on V-day. Yay!
