time to take this thread in a completely different direction!
Feb. 14th is the birthday of a very, very good friend of mine. Being born on this day, and being a bit of a rebel, she has grown to absolutely hate the color pink. I, being me, have always gotten her piles of silly, girly, pink stuff for each of her birthdays, and even acquired a bottle of pink wine for her 21st.
She died this past November, at 22, of a blood clot that traveled from her leg to her heart in her sleep.
So a bunch of us are going to visit her grave this valentines day, those who drink, will take a shot in her name; I will be leaving a bunch of pink flowers and be placing a pink tiara on her headstone, because as much she hated that color, it always put a stupid grin on her face, knowing that someone had the guts to do it.
