Valentine's Day

And now back to my regularly scheduled blogging.
I'm going to sound like an old women in a second, so please pardon me. I haven't blogged for the last few days or....cough.....more then a few days, because my hands are shot, chaputz, done for. Well, not now, but they were before. they are better now and I'm kinda taking a risk typing now, but oh well. I probably have carpal tunnel, but I'm not sure. I hope not. I'll go get them checked out on wednesday I think. They've been hurting pretty much since wednesday and typing papers has been a major drag and homework takes presidence of blogging, mostly due to the price of tuition.

And now a message from my sponsor.
Okay, I don't have a sponsor, but that would be pretty cool, or as my roommate would say "wicked awesome". So today is Saint Valentine's Day as it has been called in this christian dominated time and place. I would like to make a few notes on Valentine's Day. Although the origin of the name Saint Valentine is christian, named after a few different dead guys of the same name, who have martyr stories about dying for their faith or something....blah, blah, blah......christianity.....blah.....indocttination.....blah......appropriation of other, older religions......WAIT, that's the important part. So, Saint Valentine's Day was originally of Celtic Origin? That's right. It all started as a Celtic festival and it had some Greek origins too, but they get credit for everything.
Here's a website discussing the conversion from the Greek sex fest to the Christian love fest.

The Celts though were experts in sex fests. Most of the major holidays have something to do with reproduction and although it often relates to the harvest they would celebrate with sex amongst themselves.
- As a side note, I'm not adovating wild sex parties on Valentines or any other Celtic based holiday. I simply want my people to be given the credit they are due -
Anway, February 2nd was Imbolc which is the Celtic basis of Valentine's.
On a related note, there's this boy, who's really great and I don't want to say anything more so I don't mess anything up.
