Hm. I like the idea of a Valentines Day. [she laughs to herself] But I'm sure you're all tired of everyone going on and on about it- so tell me, Discedo: what other kinds of holidays do you celebrate? What's the story behind them?

I think its romantic to have a holiday to show your affection.

Hey Sally, have you seen Sonic around? My Sonic I mean?

[Voice] invested February 11 2009, 03:58:01 UTC

I couldn't agree more.

... Are you planning something?

I think his communicator is acting strange...

Yep! I want to make something special for Sonic.

Strange?

We call it "Vaeandyk" and on this day we burn people at the stake then take their heads and use their skulls for wine.

That's--! That's horrible!

[2/2] invested February 11 2009, 04:35:50 UTC

Or is that your idea of a joke?

I wish it were, babe.

In my homeland, the second day of this month would have been the observation of Candlemas, the Purification of the Blessed Virgin, and in a more traditional way, Gŵyl Fair.

invested February 11 2009, 09:43:39 UTC

You weren't able to celebrate this year?

rex_britanniae February 11 2009, 19:07:55 UTC

There really are not enough people here to observe them. Moreover, a friend's birthday was the fourth day of this month, and we celebrated that in lieu of the others.

Oh? I'm sorry to hear that! It's a good thing you had other things to celebrate.

There's plenty of other holidays other then Valentino~! Every country has a different variety~!

invested February 11 2009, 09:45:24 UTC

Oh? That may explain why some people have mentioned White Day and some haven't. What about your country?

leaveit2deutsch February 11 2009, 20:59:51 UTC

White Day? No, we don't celebrate that in my country~ but it does sound nice!

invested February 12 2009, 05:56:29 UTC

So just Valentines for your 'country'? Or something completely different?

...the Watanagashi. Or Cotton-Drifting Festival. My village takes worn-out blankets or padded kimonos, thank them, hold a memorial service for them by sending their cotton down the stream.

invested February 11 2009, 09:46:01 UTC

A memorial service?

princessofmoe February 11 2009, 09:51:55 UTC

Yes, mii~. We extract the cotton by ripping apart the blankets and kimonos. You know, the human body is very dirty with sins, so the cotton is meant to absorb them. This ceremony is also to honor our village God.

invested February 13 2009, 07:05:11 UTC

Interesting! And an interesting reason for a memorial service, if you don't mind me saying. What day of the year is this?
