my husband says that i'm a pyromaniac. my response: just because i like to play with fire doesn't mean that i am a pyromaniac. wikipedia defines pyromania as an impulse to deliberately start fires to relieve tension and typically includes relief afterward.fire is entirely fascinating. from the red hot coals to the jumping flames, i'm dumbfounded by its traits. i enjoy fires enough to chop my own wood this evening. i only got through one and a half logs and my arm is already sore. i must say that i was worth it though so that i could make a fire.
