Valentine's Day, a manufactured holiday to celebrate love, has always seemed to divide people into categories--not bring them together. The couples, the single, the.. quirkyalones?
We ran across this website through Digg and are intrigued by the manifesto (of sorts) for what International Quirkyalone Day means to them:
International Quirkyalone Day is a do-it-yourself celebration of romance, friendship, and independent spirit. It's a celebration of all kinds of love: romantic, platonic, familial, and yes, self-love. International Quirkyalone Day is not anti-Valentine's Day. It's NOT a pity party for single people.
While we weren't sure if we were a quirkyalone or not, the site has a handy quiz for easy identification. (Apparently, we're "somewhat quirkyalone" otherwise known as "quirkytogether." Okay.) If you're a quirkyalone, quirkytogether, or quirky-curious there will be a gathering on Valentine's--er, International Quirkyalone Day 2008--at Red Hill Books at 7 PM. See you quirkies there.
Aside: After seeing the word "quirky" so many times in one article, is it starting to look misspelled? We're just wondering.

QA is the brainchild of Sasha Cagen, who's been featured on SFist itself a few times. She's pretty crafty.
Why makeup a newword just so you can get 15minutes of onlinefame?
