February’s CotM Competition: St. Valentine’s Day/Massacre
If anyone can believe it, it's February already! You know, the month that brings us Groundhog Day (what does that silly groundhog know, anyway?), Valentine's Day and well, okay, that's about it. Oh, and it brings snow, in most places in the Northern Hemisphere.
But huzzah! February also brings with it the February Conky of the Month Competition! I thought long and hard about this one, didn't want to give in to the obvious cliche, but in the end, it just had to be...St. Valentine's Day!!! And then I reconsidered, for fear of boxing in all of y'all's creativity, so we'll go with: ST. VALENTINE'S DAY/MASSACRE. So it has to be about Valentine's Day, whether you love it, or hate it! As per usual, you can use any tips & tricks you want, including external scripts and whatever else you can think of, but please pay particular attention to:
The closing date for this month's competition is the end of the month, and the winner will be announced Mid-March.
To submit your Conky for consideration, please write a comment on this post, linking to a screenshot, preferably with details (.conkyrc and/or any scripts you've used). I would recommend that you either write a post on your own blog and link to that, or post on a forum and link to that (so that we can get your picture and details all at once). Alternately, you may wish to link to an image-hosting website like Picasa, Flickr or Imageshack (for your image) and post a separate link to something like pastebin for your configs. There is a private Conky pastebin available at conky.pastebin.com if you so desire.
Finally, a couple of wallpapers to help you get inspired:

The main part for this contest is the bloody heart and the breathing heart. The rest is for fun and for experiments!
I hope they adhere to the theme of this month
