All you need is–
14 Feb
Here, a festive someecards.com greeting for everyone, so as not to break with my own tradition that I started like two months ago.
I’ve always liked Valentine’s day– I’m a conformist like that. Even though I’ve never been convinced about love as much more than a chemical reaction (you know, like every emotion. Or as an alternative, to quote the Manics, “There is no true love, just a finely tuned jealousy”), it really does seem like a nice idea in theory.
Plus I got engaged a month after my first date with my husband, and married him four months after that. So my cover is sort of blown, I figure.
As discussed previously, I like a good love story, provided there’s a sufficient measure of insanity involved. The way people deal with someone they want says a lot about them, reveals certain character points that it’d be hard to bring out believably, otherwise. It exposes them more completely. Not every story needs it, but not every story needs blood, drugs, art, and loud music, and I tend to like those a lot as well. I’m just saying it’s a favorite with me, is all.
I’ve always felt that horror had the most interesting variations on the theme. (Example: Aaron’s Love Letter today. Hee!) Death and sex. As long as we don’t get them completely, they’ll always be fascinating. It’s why Dracula still works, and always will.
So here’s to one half of the mysterious equation. Cheers, Cupid.

I couldn’t agree more. Happy V-Day, and thanks for the card.
I’m a sucker for love. And also for big scary monsters. The fun is cramming them together!
I’ve never been able to get my head around V-Day… but that might be an allergic reaction to all the pink hearts and jewelry commercials. (And, seriously, why does a holiday centered around chocolate and roses have THE WORST candy out there? Bring on Easter!)
I do certainly wish everyone who celebrates it a happy one, though.
