How am I supposed to know if this is a Leap year?


You guys, tomorrow is February!

February is the shortest month. It is the month in which I become twenty-one, which is older than I have ever been before.

Turning twenty-one is significant because it marks my eleventh year as a vegematarian which statistically suggests I have been a non-meat-eater for longer than I have been a meat-eater.

In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, I am making plans to hunt and kill a wild wildebeest with my bare hands and then roast its carcass over an open fire while playing a banjo and gazing across the plains at sunset.

I mean.

Uh.

I mean, I am dabbling with veganism. In a furtive, non-committal, not-in-front-of-the-vicar sort of way. I am aiming to be the first under-the-radar vegan. I have been put off in the past because vegans are a group of self-obsessed obnoxious dogmatic lunatics but it is ok now because I am accepting that I am probably three out of these four things already.

I have no desire to be that mad lady who cannot eat a nice meal in a restaurant however, so I reserve the right to discreetly abandon the sisterhood if it is interfering with my life.

(Wine is not made out of animals, right?)

Fear not, wine is not made out of meat but distilled sunshine and meths. You are within your vegan rights to eat it.

I do not understand how you can live without bacon.

This is what everyone says! What is so special about bacon?

It is the closest to cannibalism you can get without having to eat people.

This may not be the reason for everyone.
