I Suck At Leap Days

today is february 29th. for those who are unaware, it is considered bissextile day. yes, bissextile sounds very kinky and very uncomfortable at the same time. unfortunately, it means it's a leap day, which means the day occurs once every four years. according to my friend wikipedia:

"The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (23 February) was doubled, forming the so-called "bis sextum". The first day of the bis sextum (February 24) came to be regarded as the intercalated or "bissextile" day. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages."

anyway, i suck at leap days. i was tempted to start a tradition today that would be held every four years. the tradition would be like my personal olympics, or something like that. unfortunately, i could not think of a tradition to start. oh well. better luck next time... in four years...
