Martisor

Mărţişor is an over commercialised Romanian tradition celebrating the beginning of the spring on 1 March.
At every big intersection, we have these says sellers on the streets offering some kitsch products and a lot of people wanting to buy some as cheap and as impersonal as possible. That is because every man is expected to offer one to each of the females around him: coworkers, family, neighbors etc.
Usually, as a socially inapt geek, I ignore this tradition, but this year made an exception, created a very symbolic virtual Martisor, which I share here, for other fellows to use as they like.

Anonymous, thank you for your kind words :p

How dare you say that? It is an old tradition that is celebrated by beautiful ornaments. Obviously you don't have to buy them, you can make them yourself, but it is like buying an ornament or present for someone. Have some respect for traditions, even if you aren't cultured enough to like old traditions.

Sure you don't have to buy them, but good luck (with your SO, your mother, your coworkers) if you don't.
I will pretend to ignore your comment about me being/not being cultured enough.

zarux, ce usor mi-ar fi si mie sa iti pun etichete... data e pusa pe fiecare postare.
Cit despre pierderea de vreme, cine te-a pus sa o pierzi aici?
