5 Ways To Get Psyched For Valentine's Day
This list will knock the too-cool-for-V-Day cynic right out of you.
3. Drink. The one thing we love about February 14? Conversation hearts. Some people say they taste chalky, but we love 'em. Plus, you can use them for romantic missives. This Love Buzzer once mailed her high school crush a conversation heart that said "Call Me." Perhaps not as ballsy as "Let's Kiss" or "Spank Me," but baby steps, people. Baby steps. If you're dead set against these cutesy candies, you can always get your man liquored up, instead, with something decadent and delicious, like Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur.
4. Give. You don't need a holiday to soften your heart, so why not just share the love? You can donate to a number of different charities via text message: $10 goes to the Red Cross's Haiti hurricane relief effort when you text HAITI to 90999; text HAITI to 20222 in order to donate $10 to the Clinton Foundation; or you can donate just $5 to Wyclef Jean's Yele fund by texting YELE to 50150.

5. Send. No need to get mushy just because you're sending a card. It's just that, in the age of e-mails and mass text messages, we really do enjoy getting snail mail every once in awhile. And we actually prefer the irreverent. We totally heart Hallmark's Fresk Ink cards, which are always randomly quirky. And if you're craving a little bit more snark, there are always sites like Uncooked. Love Letters Made Easy
How do you get yourself in the Valentine's Day mood?
High Fidelity is awesome!! Haven't seen the movie in its entirety, but I love the book.
Sending snail mail is great too. I love getting postcards from my friends.
