Valentine’s tips for all kinds of lovers
By Anne Steyer
Staff Reporter
There are generally two groups
of people celebrating Valentine’s
Day: those in love and those not in
love.
Of course, these two groups
further specialize: those in love
with someone who loves t hem back;
those in love with someone who
doesn't love them back, those in
love with someone who doesn’t
even know they exist; and those in
love with themselves.
In the group that is not in love:
those that want to be in love; those
that never want to be in love; those
that have loved and have been
burned; those that hate themselves.
Or a combination of any of the
above categories.
So in the spirit of the season (the
pukey, lovey-dovey, I can’t gel
enough of you/I can’t get farenough
away from you celebration of

Valentine’s Day), here are some
suggestions for how to spend Feb.
14.
For those in love:
Go to The Tubbery and get sudsy
with someone you love. Or^ antto
love.
Watch “The Love Connection”
and celebrate how happy you are
not to have to look for a date on
national television.
Do the traditional dinner and a
movie. Try a quiet corner in a
darkened restaurant and then head
out to see a romantic movie — try
“Sommersby.”
You can do something uncon
ventional. Go roller-skating — that
way you have an excuse to hang
onto each other.
Rent some flicks, curl up under
an afghan and pop some popcorn.
Watch “ Beauty and the Beast," “The
Thin Man,” or “She’s Having a Baby.”
Relive the nostalgic days of your
youth. Take your honey to I Iolmes
r—
Lake and smooch under the stars
For those not in love:
Treat yourself to a professiona
massage. Soothed muscles do ;
great deal for soothing the heart.
Watch "The Love Connection
and celebrate how happy you ar<
not to have to look for a date or
national television.
Rent some flicks, curl up unde
an afghan, alone, and pop some
popcorn. Watch "When Harry Me
Sally..“Singles," or“FIeartburn.'
Get drunk with your friends anc
boo all the people that walk by
gazing longingly at each other.
Skip Sunday and observe V-Day
on Monday instead, by watching
“Northern Exposure." Joel anc
Maggie finally consummate theii
smoldering chemical attraction.
Go to a friend’s "Black Sunday’
party. Wearblack. Get drunk Revel
in your oneness.
Of course, there is another op
tion: Ignore the whole holiday.

With Macintosh,
it doesn't need to seem like four years.
More college students buy Macintosh than
any other computer because no matter
what you do, Macintosh will help you do
it better and faster. It's easy to use, right
out of the box and powerful applications
are available to help you with any course
you'll ever take—from African Studies to
Zoology. So no matter what your studying,
you'll find that Macintosh lets you focus
on figuring out college, instead of
figuring out your computer.
Macintosh. The power to be your best.

Holiday needs new name

I have an aversion to commit
ment. 1 think that’s why I find
Valentine’s Day so repulsive.
It’s not really the day so much as
what it has become: celebration of
co-dependency.
Co-dependency is bad.
Overemphasis on any emotion
—love included—is bad And this
two-month period dwelling on ir
rational behavior is definitely over
emphasized, wouldn’t you say? You
can’t enter a store without seeing
red hearts and the silhouette of
Cupid, pointing his arrow at some
r„ * .
unlucky soul.
He better not try to hit me. It
would be a waste of an arrow,
because I’m quick as a bunny, so
even with his practiced aim, I think
he’d miss.
And I don’t subscribe to the
whole love thing anyway.
I’m bombarded enough on a
daily basis by everybody elsc’s love
thing.
Actually, I’m not an anti-love
person.
I’m a sucker for a sentimental
sob story any time of the day or
night.
