Roses are red.
Violets are red.
Everything is red.
I set the flower shop on fire.
I like fire.

beauty, obscure references, random

I'm not a Christian, so occasionally for kicks I will offer holiday greetings from the pagan festivals which birthed the modern holidays.

The mid-February festival was once Lupercalia, a Roman celebration of fertility complete with human sacrifice, flagellation, and fire. Huzzah!

I could go back further, and talk about Februa, which gives us the name February, but that was basically Roman Lent, and that's boring.

Yay fire. My best video game characters use fire.
