VD
Given the number of days until Valentine’s Day, and subtracting the actual number of ideas that I have for said day, we can plainly deduce that I am screwed.
Originally (as with most of our holidays), February fourteenth was a pagan holiday honoring Juno, the goddess of women and marriage. The fifteenth was the first day of the Festival of Lupercalia. On the eve of the festival, Roman women would write love notes and put them in an urn. The Roman men would draw a note from the urn, with whom he would be coupled with for the entire Lupercalia festival.
Why have we screwed up EVERY FUN GODDAMNED ANCIENT TRADITION and turned it into something benign?
For those opposed: Anti-Valentine.
