Happy Leap Day everyone! I know that this might seem like a stupid thing to say, but this day only comes once every four years! So I'm pretty excited about it. When the people were dividing the years into twenty-four hour days, they found that it takes the Earth 365 days to revolve around the sun. But actually it takes around 365.25 days to go around the sun, that's why every four years we have to include another day into our calender year. So once again, Happy Leap Day!! Tell us how you're going to spend your extra day this year. Me, I'm going to work. And then I'm going to visit Fiona!!

Woo, yay for today! Did you know it's traditional for the Leap Year Day that women are allowed to propose to men? Lol.

^^Yeah, it was really sweet; this woman proposed to her radio announcer boyfriend live on the radio, and completely surprised him. They then had it on all the news shows (haha). I went to my friends 18th birthday party!!

I went to work. But I am suprised people would still be making a thing about women being allowed to propose because... we're always allowed to we just don't want to

haha it sounds like women are forbidden to propose except on February 29 (although a few hundred years ago that was probably closer to the truth). I didn't even know of the tradition until this year, shows how behind I am...
