| Well, Valentine's Day is already over, at least for me (though I know that there are still a couple of hours to go for some people). It's been a blast!
I'm amazed with the response I've had to this journal, and it's been wonderful reading some of the touching comments people have for one another.
Thank you, also, for the understanding most of you showed for my idea of this journal.
I shan't be doing this kind of thing next year, but it seems that someone has already set up 140206! So perhaps we'll see each other around there. Or maybe there'll be more than one journal, since I know a number of people weren't happy with my rules, so perhaps they'll set up an alternative journal with more open posting guidelines if 140206 will be similar to 140205.
Finally, remember that you can tell people you love that you love them any day of the year :) Have a nice year!

| ixwin has written a script which will search through comments for a given name; it takes a while, but may still be faster than scanning 20 or more pages of comments yourself! Thank you, ixwin! | comments: Send your love  |
| And I'm sure you do, too, but please don't leave messages to everyone on your friends list -- nor even to many of them. Let's keep it for really special people in our lives. (Rule of thumb: if it's more than a handful, or if you're tempted to leave the same message to more than one person, then it's probably not the kind of message that this journal was created for.)
If you'd like to leave messages for all or most of your friends, consider making a post in your journal: that'll be easier for your friends to find, too, since they'll see it on their friends page and won't have to dig through pages of comments.
Also, please no more than two usernames per comment; ideally, we'd have something specific to say to each of our Valentines, so they'd each merit a separate comment. (And as a reminder, it would be nice if you included that person's username in the subject of the comment; it makes it easier to find.)
Thank you! |  |

| So, you think Valentine's Day is overhyped? Want to shoot Cupid with his own bow? Kill everyone who works for Hallmark?
Or perhaps you're sad because you've got nobody you could send a message to -- or the only people you can think of wouldn't want to hear from you?
