oyceterI use my Nana icon of platonic love!
Since I can't have my normal anti-Valentine's Day party, which tends to consists of lots of good food, chocolate consumption, and the watching non-romantic movies (or guys in spandex, aka men's figure skating), I will instead have a mini party on my LJ! Alas, there is no food or chocolate souffle, but we will make do.
So, what do you enjoy about being single? People in couples and people not in couples are welcome to comment, though please, no couples-bashing. And obviously, the whole point of this is to rejoice in singledom, particularly if you have meddling parents/friends/relatives/random strangers telling you, "Shouldn't you get married soon?" So no "I can do that with my husband!" even if you can, lest we all turn green with envy and attempt to kidnap him and demand truckloads of manga for ransom.
I'll post something for couples onthe 15th White Day (March 14), when I will have stopped rolling my eyes at the holiday (also, because I feel more holidays for chocolate = good excuse for me to eat some).
To start off the list:
I like being single because I can be just as messy as I want and let my little anime figurines clutter up the entire place. I also like being able to go to swing dancing by myself and not have to worry about giving my SO the wrong impression. I like not having to decide how to split my time between my SO and my friends without either feeling left out. And I like being able to do completely random things at the last minute without upsetting anyone's plans.

Nobody messes with my books/stuff/knitting/&c. Nobody messes with my knitting time.
I can sit for hours working on the sovery geeky fansub project and not have to justify it. (Although one friend thinks he's allowed to tease me about that.)
Nobody says, "Are you going to eat that last chocolate/sorbet in the freezer/treat on the counter?" (I eat them when I want them, not because they're there.)
I could probably go on, and on, and on, but that's enough of a start. (Essentially, it all boils down to "I can make my own rules!" ^_^)
