The Olympic Torch of Love

[botias]

I just made the mistake of reading some rather purple fanfic prose to my hunny. Now he's making me LOL by surprising me with sweet nothings like: "My pits are aflame for you!" Who says romance is dead?

Speaking of aflame pits and dead romances, am I the only one who didn't quite get the 'flaming hands' thing? How is catching on fire romantic? Of course, as a Spuffy, I found that whole scene pretty :P anyway. Denied all the way to the end.

It's like walking in the rain, a suppposedly romantic thing that isn't really romantic. Makes a good symbol for romance, though.

People (single people) say they enjoy a romantic walk in the rain, holding hands. But really walking in the rain is wet and sweaty and usually cold and your clothes stick to you and salt and oil from your hair gets into your eyes and yuck.

My wife suggests it's a euphamism for safe sex. Wear your rubber raincoat.

Hand fire is the same kind of symbol in the Buffyverse. Except that Angel claims vampires don't need to use protection. And how many times did I use that line on a naïve sweet young thing!

I don't know, but I'm sure you feel bad about it now.
