The heart of a woman falls back with the night,
\nAnd enters some alien cage in its plight,
\nAnd tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars,
\nWhile it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars.<\/i>
\n– Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886-1966)<\/p>\n

It’s all a-flutter, yes it is; I guess you could even say it’s topsy turvy. Speaking of which, if (unlike dear Minnie<\/a>) you haven’t noticed it yet, I’ve added a topsy turvy graphical archives section<\/a> to the site.<\/p>\n

That aside, I bring up two other topics: H.E. and Art. Do I write too much about them? My apologies if I do, but the two of them are like… hmm… how do I explain this? Is there a mathematical equation I could use?<\/p>\n

How about:
\nH.E. + Art = heart<\/p>\n

Cheesy, I know. Forgive me. February has been weird to me, and I’ve gotten to the point where I wonder if readers can predict on which days I will post a new entry. There is, after all, a telltale way of knowing when I will publish. Still… if you can guess when I will post in March, I’ll be very impressed.<\/p>\n

It’s strange, though. I’ve thought about stopping my use of the comments feature, but I haven’t thought about stopping my weird little monthly schedules, which only shows you how truly compulsive I am. Does anyone care at all when<\/i> I post?<\/p>\n

Never mind. If you’ve read this far, you’re here for the secret message and not my rambling. But then… you’d already know what that message is anyway, and no, there is no extra Easter Egg this month. There will be one next month, I promise… and even prizes in April—the month that is, and not me.<\/p>\n

Which leads me to ask:
\nWhat would you like to see me give away as prizes?<\/p>\n

Please bear in mind that I’m a poor girl, but otherwise anything goes.<\/p>\nShare this post:
