Leap Year

It's Leap Year Day... Leap Day? ..... February 29th! Happy Birthday to all of those (surprisingly older looking for their age..haha) people born on twenty ninth of the fourth month~

Apparently women can propose to their men today...though I don't see why they can't do it on any other day (or year) if they are the kind of person who would want to do that.

Personally, I would not want to propose to my boyfriend at all. I think I would feel like I was missing out, and I'm sure he would hate me for taking that away from him (at least my current boyfriend would feel that way).

There is a reason for everything! So why do we randomly have an extra day every four years? Any guesses? If you didn't already know, it's because every year is actually 365.25 days long... We obviously can't have a random quarter-length day every year, so they are added up at the end of four years and we get one whole day!

Apparently this started in the days of Julius Caesar.

'Leap Year' would seem to apply to the entire year.. I mean, a single day wouldn't be called 'year'. I guess it's the year where leaping takes place? If feels more like...slowing down? taking an extra day doesn't seem to involve any leaping... that makes it sound like we lose a day, or maybe the whole year! The year that is leaped over...hmm...

Maybe it's a year for leaping! ....I'm just going to stop now..
