Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
- William Shakespeare -
Greetings, mortals.
We are delighted to find that this project you refer to as Everything2, despite its ethereal nature, encourages communication and connection amongst you. We have noticed that love has blossomed in many ways and between many people all over the globe.
We desire to encourage this development, and at the same time, support the growth of the community that supports you all. For this reason, we have spoken with several earthly paragons, and they will be assisting us in fostering friendship and love for our favorite Pagan feasting day, which you call St. Valentine's Day.
In the hopes of promoting sweetness for Valentine's Day, we are providing several lovely ways for you to send earthly missives. You have a choice of tokens of your affection to send your loves, friends, or your secret admiree. All gold belongs to this rather unorthodox method of communication.
You may, for a mere token, send an anonymous message from myself, Cupid, with your words or ours. Instead, you may desire a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, handmade Valentine, created by one of those lovely ninjagirls. If you prefer something slightly more literary, perchance a poem, penned (with my assistance, of course) also by one of several ninjagirls. Lastly, for those of you who want something a bit more artistic, sexy, humorous and edgy, you may fancy a hand-crafted, unique breast.
O innocent victims of Cupid,
Remember this terse little verse:
To let a fool kiss you is stupid,
To let a kiss fool you is worse.
- E.Y. Harburg -

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit,
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.

Send a thank you to paraclete, squeezie, princess loulou, scribe, grundoon or the ninjagirl of your choice, for their sekrit contributions behind the scenes.
Send your $$$$ (or ££££ or €€€€) to the donation box, (or a cheque, if desired - send any queries to Cupid directly in that case) then a request to Cupid. Specify if you want the artistic genius of one particular ninjagirl, or if you would like us to choose. Your artist will contact you for the details and address.
A note on anonymity
Only the following ninjagirls will have access to the list of requests:
grundoon
princess loulou
diotina
squeezie
paraclete
scribe
heppigirl
So rest assured that the object of your affection will not stumble across your message by chance. If one of this group is to be the recipient of a poetic arrow then you can, of course, contact an individual Cupid helper.
I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day.
When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a
short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.

Disclaimer type affair: all moaning minnies who hate Valentines or Valentine's day and decide to whine to us about it
are gently reminded that one is never very far from a ninjagirl... moan at your peril etc.
The best way to cure a broken heart is to give the pieces away...
