the one

i love playing cards. they're actually very dear to my heart. even before magic tricks became popular, cards were already magical to me XP

out of the 54 cards (including the 2 jokers of course) in a regular deck, there are a few that hold a special place in my heart:

the joker(s) : i didn't think anyone else collected jokers until geia came to me asking for joker cards. haha. well now i collect card decks.. but this craze all started with jokers. (hmm.. i hope this isn't turning out to be one sick, cruel joke..)

queen of hearts : this is a no-brainer haha. the origin of my love for this card may be just a tad bit cheesier than i'd like to admit. right now, though, the queen of hearts is a (literally) bloody symbol for me..

king of hearts : again, another no-brainer. apart from the romantic overtones, however, i like this card because the king of hearts is the 'odd-man out' of all the kings. why? sheesh. go look at all four kings and spot the difference..

two of hearts : ok, now this one just reeks of gooey sentimental sh*t so i will not explain any further..

ace of spades : did i mention that my favorite suit is spades? hahahaha. guess why.. XP

of all the spades, though (and in fact, of *all* the cards in the deck) the ace is closest to my heart. he trumps everything else. literally.

come to think of it, maybe the original card makers felt a special liking to my card, as well. after all, the ace of spades is the most decorated of all the cards - the one with the biggest design. it's intricate and usually stamped with the manufacturer's mark.

hmm. maybe instead of writing down "i *heart* you" i should just write "i *spade* you" hahahaha XP that would certainly be more apt..
you are *the one*.. and i *spade* you. so much.. :'(
