Think

I hate February. I think my lack of posting is a symptom of the hatred I have for February. Granted, for the first time in years, I actually had someone to spend Valentine's Day with, but I still hate the rest of the month. It's cold, grey, dreary, depressing, a let-down after January, boring compared to March, and all around sucks. The only thing good about February in general is that it is usually only 28 days.

As long as I am on the topic, I think whoever made up the modern calendar with the concept of Leap Year should be shot. Why, oh why did we have to add an extra day to THE WORST MONTH OF THE YEAR? Why couldn't we add an extra day to June every four years or so? June is the type of month where I want extra days. But, February? Puhlease. The only thing I want more of in February is sleep, chocolate, and alcohol. Not another day of THIS crap.

So, my posting has been sparse lately and I'm blaming February. I could blame my own laziness, but that would be taking too much responsiblity for my own actions during a month I hate. That's not acceptable.

It's not like I don't have anything to say. I mean, I have entire posts written in my head about high school, a new restaurant review, funny kids stories, prom, books I've read recently, stupid people I've dealt with, family dramas, old people falling down, and everything else. I even have a post about Sweet Ass Degreaser, but I have been told that topic is off limits.

But, because it is February, I have to go the easy route. I stole this post from Katie, who stole it from Pammy. You know who they are. If you don't, go find them. It's February. I don't have to link to them. They are the type of people who will love me no matter what. Well, Katie will for sure. I've never actually met Pammy, but given her fondness for the phrase "Cat-raping Thunder Cunt," I'm sure she's my kind of gal. And look, I just stole more things from other bloggers - Jennifer who first posted about thunder cunts and The Rotund Reader, who coined the phrase. And they like me too so I'm not going to link to them either.

So this is what I stole this week. I really like it.

Your Word is "Think"
You see life as an amazing mix of possibilities, ideas, and fascinations.
And sometimes you feel like you don't have enough time to take it all in.

You love learning. Whether you're in school or not, you're probably immersed in several subjects right now.
When you're not learning, you're busy reflecting. You think a lot about the people you know and the things you've experienced.

February is indeed a suckass month. I don't even care that Valentine's Day is in it. It ends up always just another day anyway, especially when it falls on a stupid day of the week, like a Tuesday.
So I don't know now who I ripped of the "What's Your Word", you or 2M. I guess it doesn't matter, since you both will still love me anyway. Well, it is February, so maybe not. Blah.

I wish I could hibernate and wake up when it is warm. How much work does it take to find out what my word is? Do I need to take a quiz? That is my energy level- it seems easier to leave a comment asking a question, rather than clicking on a link and finding out.

Super easy, SS. Click, answer 5 questions, click, get your word.

OK, I did it. The quiz was fun and made me think. And Sugar Bear (???), My word is fearless too.

My word is love. I wouldn't even put love in the top 10 words for Vanilla Bean Counter. I think the quiz is broken, or I have no self awareness.

I much prefer March - St Patrick's Day and March Madness. Oh, and my birthday. It's the finest month, in my opinion (with October a close second).
