I posted this up on my online diary last year...its an excellent Valentines day rant from Lacroix in Forever Knight and I feel the urge to share it again since its valentines day here now.....

"Love. A blip on the monitor of involuntary human response, a hiccough of emotion when compared with envy, hatred, lust.

And just who was this St. Valentine? A bishop, Roman, Third century, got his head sliced off, ouch!, for marrying lovers against his emperor's decree. You see, Claudius the Second thought that men made better warriors unmarried.

Power comes with the absence of love. Love drains us of our strength. We never learn, do we? And you say that love conquers all. Well not for you, St. Valentine, not for me, not for any of the heartbroken.

Does love really exist in this hedonistic world of ours? Or is it only our selfish needs, our own desires that fuel the potion. Does she love me, love me not? What does it really matter. What hellish alchemy if it does.

Just say no to love, a carnival kewpie and an electric blanket will give you more satisfaction. Don't ever give them your heart.

Constant stars. The only comforting light. Kill the pain, this incessant longing.

Like some sweet on the track roll steel wheels right over her precious body. She's just a girl, the apple of your pie in the sky valentine her good, goodbye my friend. Pass your days in one night stands, tear apart the threads, the web of love's truth, where strings of beauties wrap your heartstrings around your neck.

Love exists, rages within. A silent scream of endless pain. Hellish alchemy indeed, without equal. Not death, not hell itself, but a precious, precious flower, long withered and gone."

It was appropriate to my feelings last year....but this year thanks to a good regular doses of anal sex as advocated by our Lord Wong, this year is a damn sight better....
