Play With Fire

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire,

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

 To say that for destruction ice

 Is also great.                

        And would suffice.        ~ Robert Frost

          This is one of my favorite poems. Admittedly, I first read it in one of the Twilight books, but please don’t hold that against me. Yes, I read (and enjoyed) the books, no I am not a fan of the franchise. I am, however, a fan of Robert Frost. So naturally, I liked the poem. So why am I talking about Twilight and Robert Frost? No, it is not because the movie came out this week. (A fact I only know because it is advertised for everywhere.) I am telling you about the poem in order to tell you about last week’s secondary theme. Our theme was candles/fire. I love fire. I am not a pyromaniac, nor am I obsessed with it. It is just one of my favorite elements (I also love water). I love the way it moves, its colors (depending what is burning), and even the way it smells. It is one of the five basic elements on earth. There is nothing more enjoyable than curling up next to a fire on a cold winter night. Or more fun than a summer bonfire on the beach. And contained fire, such as candles, is awesome too. They make any room smell great. And it is so relaxing to take a nice hot bath with aroma therapy candles lit around the room. The low light, heavenly scents, some soothing music and the calming warm water provide such a great experience. I love candles and fire, so you can imagine how much I enjoyed having them as a theme for my game. I like to believe I used a nice mix of the two throughout the week. It was even better because it got extended. Due to Halloween being on a Wednesday, that week got split in half. Therefore the Halloween theme lasted ten days and the candles/fire theme lasted for eleven. Due to the chaos of my life, I was a bit distracted so the pictures may not have been as good as they could have been, but they were still pretty cool. Or I suppose hot would be a better term. You be the judge.
