If I seem a little distant or incoherent, it's because I am. I am not a NeuroTypical and I have no desire to become one. This is simply the area in which I stim my creative impulses.

There are no exceptions to this rule.) comments, marriage proposals, and death threats can be sent here

Lies, and oh how time flies when she cries she knows the games he plays and the hangover in the morning tells her he's been playing her again 25 February. St Walburga's Day. Her Feast Day was originally May Eve, but was moved in an attempt by the church authorities to banish the Walpurgis night witches' revelry. At the trial of Jane Brooks for witchcraft in England in 1657 it was stated that, on 25 February, the wife of Richard Isle in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, had witnessed the levitation and 30 yards' flight over a garden wall of a boy who suffered from fits. He had been stroked and given an apple by the accused, who was jailed in March of that year. Thursday, February 21, 2002

20 February. Feast Day of St Paula the Bearded. She prayed for a beard to discourage the attentions of a young man, and her prayers were promptly answered. St Wilgefortis, whose feast day is 20 July, was the daughter of the King of Portugal, who wished her to marry the King of Sicily. She had taken a vow of virginity, prayed for a beard, which turned off her suitor, and was crucified by her father. 'Preposterous!' snorts one hagiographer. A bearded female saint carved on the front porch of Westminster Abbey used to be supplicated by women tired of their husband's sexual demands. Thursday, February 14, 2002
14 February. St Valentine's Day, when birds reputedly start mating. In ancient Rome it was the day of a festival of sexual fever when young men drew women's names from a box to choose their sexual partners. Valentine is a version of the Norse deity Vali, the archer-god, son of Odin. The dedication of the day was transferred to one of two St Valentines, who appeared to be Southern European version of Cupid. A dubious legend maintains that Valentine, bishop of Terni (Interamna) was beaten and beheaded in the third century, and his supposed remains are venerated in St Praxides in Rome.

Pronoia -- 1. The suspicion the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf. 2. On the terrestrial level, pronoia should be defined as the opposite of paranoia: the sneaking suspicion others are conspiring to help you (and you them!). Symptoms include: sudden attacks of optimism and outbreaks of goodwill. Tuesday, February 05, 2002

2 February. Candlemas and the Roman Lupercalia (dedicated to Venus). The Christians regarded it as the Virgin's day, but still feared it as a day when witches were abroad. |
