An overly-specific list of things I
Love,
February
calendars with pretty pictures in august, my birth month, the month with no holidays or glorious season, the month always always always where the ugliest picture gets relegated.
irish breakfast tea. the cheap kind that i can afford. strong. with lots of cream so then not very strong anymore. a lost potential i don’t need to mourn.
leap years. leap day. february’s chance to wear heels, to catch up. and yet…still, even then, she’s shorter than all the others. (i sympathize.) the way february sashays around anyway. (i take note.)
lemon ricotta cookies. i bake barely, rarely, and badly, but these i love.
the click click click of my mechanical pencil. less frenetic than the keyboard, but still so satisfying.
the lines in the carpet after vacuuming.
the instrumentals from the OST to Rookie Historian, playing in the background.
day-dreaming. not (ever) being too old for day-dreaming.
the space we call the segue. too wide to be a hallway, but somewhat useless as anything else. lined with bookshelves and a couple of chairs. wood floors we all slide across in socks, as we move from one part of the house to the other.
fake pretend bad poetry. i mean it. send it to me even when it stops being february. i love it.
sunshine, rain, wind, heat. anything but the cold.
the grand adventure that my other blue-and-grey mitten must have gone on with my other black-and-white sock in these past few (coldest.) days. it better be the grandest adventure ever.
August is my birth month too. But down here it is the last month of winter and the month that beckons spring. The snow drops come up, the hill starts to be less grey and usually by my birthday you can get daffodils. And since spring is my favourite season and daffodils my favourite flower and August my birth month… We all get to herald spring together ^-^
It’s just the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere!
Give or take half a month:
Dec-Feb = Summer
March- May = Autumn
June- August= Winter
Sept-Nov= Spring.
Oh my bad you want OUR calenders? Ahahaha I should do that. Honestly I haven’t looked at pictures intently on ours in while. August is somehow hit or miss? I’m not sure if there is a definite trend to certain months getting better pictures? Hmmm Lemme go check…
I had to go find last years calendars because this years we just have a Voice of the Martyrs one, and a cat one- the only one that was the right size for our “Events” calendar.
Last years, of the 3 that were scenic- 2/3 had good pictures for August. One had a boring one. The cat one this year is fine too but you can hardly go wrong with kittens… lol
Dec, Jan, June, July, March had some of my favourite ones… I feel like December here tradtionally has good pictures if I had to ponder it?
Hmmm would you like one for next year??? haha
@sicarius hahahaha we’re so deep into this thread that i have to reply to myself and tag you (meaningful convo, this is) 😉 this is v interesting—thanks for checking for me!!! i guess the last month of winter isn’t all that pretty either (Feb here, which only gets nice pictures on our calendars because of valentines day, i suspect). no no, no need to actually send me a calendar, although i appreciate v much the sentiment <3 <3 <3 a friend sent me one called "Women Reading" and it actually does have a nice august picture so i am all set <3
You don’t have to tag me I get a notifcation; whenever and however you reply to a comment of mine, even if it is a in a sub thread like this!!!!
Ahahaha aww I was totally all set to send you one lol~! I shall think of you now whenever I see an August calendar pic hehehe

Dunno why but db keeps putting your name in black despite the right tag. Thought you might like this in case you’ve been missing out.
