  • LoveGame.

    Wanna play? These participants are in the game:

     
           One year on the throne for this Kween. Crazy how it flies. Cupid, I mean, with his little bow and arrows tipped with some magic poison. I mean potion. Semantics. Which reminds me that I need to have the upholstery cleaned again. But he really is a crazy little devil. The stores have had horribly unhealthy chocolate hearts wrapped in glaring red foil since they took down their Christmas trees, and florists everywhere are battening down the hatches and getting ready for the frenzy that is the one day of the year when they sell tons of hacked-off plant genitals and all you annoying crazy lovebirds remind your significant others that you love them. Because you can only do it on this one day.

    Challenge A
           I have a mission for you (and it involves some heavy writing, yeah?). Kweeny’s not really feeling the love this year, so we’re going to do something a little special in honor of all of those who share her not so singular but depressingly single plight. I want you to share with us your V-day mishaps. The embarrassing, the crazy, the bizarre, the worst, and the inappropriate. You know the one I’m talking about. And yeah, if everything turns out fine you can share that, too.

    or, if you must…

    Challenge B
           Tell us about the games you played to land your special someone. Tell us how you met, how you fell in love, and how you’ve kept it going. It occurs to this queen that it’s kind of a small miracle that this kind of thing happens at all, so tell us your secrets. Maybe the rest of us will learn something from it. Or we might come bludgeon you half to death with the leftover waxy stump of that stupid Cassanova candle you tried to sell us last year because it totally didn’t work.

           In either case, do it your way. And have fun!
