The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love" title="Love" target="_new"&gt;love&lt;/a&gt; (the heart), &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship" title="Friendship" target="_new"&gt;friendship&lt;/a&gt; (the hands), and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty" title="Loyalty" target="_new"&gt;loyalty&lt;/a&gt; (the crown).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The way that a Claddagh ring is worn on the hand is usually intended
to convey the wearer's romantic availability, or lack thereof.
Traditionally, if the ring is on the right hand with the heart facing
outward and away from the body, this indicates that the person wearing
the ring is not in any serious &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimate_relationship" title="Intimate relationship" target="_new"&gt;relationship&lt;/a&gt;,
and may in fact be single and looking for a relationship: "their heart
is open." When worn on the right hand but with the heart facing inward
toward the body, this indicates the person wearing the ring is in a
relationship, or that "someone has captured their heart". A Claddagh
worn on the left hand with the heart facing outward is often a sign of
being &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engagement" title="Engagement" target="_new"&gt;engaged&lt;/a&gt;, and the ring on the left hand facing inward toward the body generally indicates that the wearer is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage" title="Marriage" target="_new"&gt;married&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><comments>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/566796794/3/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Merry Christmas.

If you're not familiar with TSO's Christmas albums, they tell a story through a long narrative poem in between the songs. The story told in all of the songs are heartwarming, sometimes even chilling, when you realize the message you never quite heard the first time you listened...&lt;br&gt;I think my mom said it best in describing the concert overall.&lt;br&gt;"If I didn't have the goosebumps, I was crying. It was beyond words."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The second half was just fun. They played songs from the newest album, The Lost Christmas Eve, from their non-Christmas album,&amp;nbsp; and stuff you just know... Flight of the Bumblebee. Beethoven's Fifth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The lights were ...wow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah I'm still blown away by it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;If you want to arrange it &lt;br&gt;
  This world you can change it &lt;br&gt;
  If we could somehow make this &lt;br&gt;
  Christmas thing last &lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;By helping a neighbor &lt;br&gt;
  Or even a stranger &lt;/p&gt;
                &lt;p style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And to know who needs help &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;
  You need only just ask&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/548854338/youre-up-to-no-good/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, November 07, 2006</title><link>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/545448822/item/</link><guid>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/545448822/item/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Nov 2006 20:12:34 GMT</pubDate><description>i figured out what that wierd smell is that i've been noticing all day.&lt;br&gt;its my bracelet.&lt;br&gt;haha.&lt;br&gt;once upon a time...&lt;br&gt;...nothing happened.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/545448822/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, November 06, 2006</title><link>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/545175817/item/</link><guid>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/545175817/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Nov 2006 23:12:27 GMT</pubDate><description>once upon a time there was a girl who was really bored&lt;br&gt;she sat at her computer and wrote into her xanga,&lt;br&gt;"once upon a time there was a girl who was really bored&lt;br&gt;she sat at her computer and wrote into her xanga,&lt;br&gt;'once upon a time there was a girl who was really bored&lt;br&gt;she sat at her computer and wrote into her xanga.'"&lt;br&gt;after writing this she walked downstairs and got herself a bottle of peach-mango v8 juice&lt;br&gt;she then poured it into a glass and sat at her computer and drank her juice&lt;br&gt;it made her happy for a little while&lt;br&gt;then she went outside and it was snowing&lt;br&gt;so she decided to fly&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/545175817/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, November 05, 2006</title><link>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/544845068/item/</link><guid>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/544845068/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Nov 2006 23:52:01 GMT</pubDate><description>once upon a time there was a girl. her life wasnt perfect. her family wasnt normal. she fell in love with a boy who was really an angel sent from heaven diguised as a normal boy. the girl and her father didnt get along. she ran away with the boy and she died.&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/544845068/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>.........</title><link>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/544503508//</link><guid>http://midgetrat.xanga.com/544503508//</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Nov 2006 00:54:46 GMT</pubDate><description>my hair is filthy&lt;br&gt;im tired&lt;br&gt;i just sneezed&lt;br&gt;haha my screen flickers whenever i get a text message...
