Here's something that fits the theme because it's also red and also deals with hearts skipping a beat:

Let's click!

Kaaaah. I just spent most of last night teaching myself to make origami roses in honour of this joyously commercial occasion. It started as a cool idea, and in the end just developed into a grudge match between me and step 25 - which I could not allow to defeat me.

Let me guess:
Step 1. Meditate on the purpose of the rose
2. Consider the recipient as a holistic person
3. develop a theory of the true color red
...
23. return with sheets of red paper from notary and spread before you
24. Pick up the first piece of paper
25. Fold into shape of rose

Congratulations, you are now an Origami expert!

This mental image made me smile.

Anyway. On to Step 25 - which is a smashing step with some lovely folding - in which wilboman discovers a vital clue, and in which there aren't any swallows, although I think you can hear a starling--

EDIT: I fully expect everyone in the Forum to have a bright and love-filled day today (or had). As yes, the day is oft frought with despair and lonliness for some - I say if I can do it, the rest of you have no excuses .

[SARCASM]You're right. It was insensitive of me to make an off-topic post.[/SARCASM]

Happy Valentines Day to all!!!!

I for one, will work late, come home, make with the obligatory gift giving and, if I'm lucky, play some FFH.

I do hope you recognize I was completing the next lines of your allusion. I should have used quotes, appologies.

I for one, am not in a position to critisize others for offtopicness.

Happy Black Day(?), everyone!

Damn it.

People, Love is good for the soul. It is not a reminder of what we do NOT have, it is a reminder of what we DO.

Remember the times of your life when love entered you, remember those moments. All of life is transitory, it is when we hold on to things that we suffer needlessly. Take a moment to reflect on the warmth, the care, the love you've had in life.

For if we can no longer do this - we are lost.

I think it's story time...

You're right. I missed that. It would be unwise to give me any credit. I am actively procrastinating an immanent deadline and my brain is feeling a bit like a loaf of congealed spam.

This is a story. It is for when you are alone, but remember love. It is for music in your silence. It is for when you are in the darkness, but remember light. It is the gray. Enjoy the story of Gray Valentine's - a story in song.

Spoiler :

The Beginning:
Please forgive me

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you

Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And theres so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way

Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery
Deep into some mystery

I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I wont ever have to lose you girl
Wont ever have to say goodbye
I wont ever have to lie
Wont ever have to say goodbye

Yeah na na na na
Yeah na na na na

Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do
Its like my head is filled with lightning girl
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you

The Middle
Be Mine

From the very first moment I saw you
Thats when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over stone cold sober
Not a thing I could say or do
cos baby when Im walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside
Turning on the light
Inside my mind hey

Come on baby its all right
Sunday monday, day or night
Written blue on white its plain to see
Be mine, be mine.
That rainy shiny night or day
Whats the difference anyway
Honey till your heart belongs to me

If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
Id have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
And maybe when your heart and soul are burning
You might see
That everytime Im talking with you
Its always over too soon
That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room
Say the word now girl
Ill jump that moon hey

Come on baby its ok
Rainy shiny, night or day
Theres nothing in the way now
Dont you see
Be mine, be mine.
Winter summer day or night
Centigrade of fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Be mine, be mine
Thursday friday short out loud
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now, mercy me
Be mine, be mine.
Jumpin jesus holy cow!
Whats the difference anyhow
Baby till your heart belongs to me.


(My body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
Yeahhh
(Now my body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
Whoa Yeah.
(Now my body's on fire, and I'm losin my sanity)
Yeah.
Be mine be mine.
(My body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
(Now my body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
Yeahhhh
(Now my body's on fire, and I'm losin my sanity)
Be mine be mine.
(Now my body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
(Now my body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
(Now my body's on fire, and I'm losin my sanity)
Be mine be mine
(Now my body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
(Now my body's on fire, now my heart is on fire)
Yeahhh...


The End
The One I Love

Gonna close my eyes
Gonna watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow

As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love

Perfect summers night
Not a windy breeze
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves

There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the big hotel

Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love

The one I love


Epilogue
Babylon II

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

If you want it
Come and get it
'Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon,
Babylon
Babylon

Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Chemicals are rushin in my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seein' it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

If you want it
Come and get it
'Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt

Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it

Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon,
Babylon
Babylon

If everyone went and deleted all their useless blather, the forum - even the internet! - would collapse within a week.


"Useless Blather - It's what the internet is all about!"

Now don't do that again.

Hah that reminds me of something I saw in my Dilbert calender. The manager decided to remove chairs in the meeting room to "improve efficiency." As soon as the meeting started the manager complained that he was tired from standing and immediately ended the meeting which prompted one of the employees to say "So that's what efficiency looks like."
