Spinning, and Spinning, and Spinning...

Have you ever tried spinning around? Like, really fast? Fast enough that all the lights around you blur, and even if there are people all around you, you can't see them because they too, are blurs. Fast enough that you are so dizzy you can't even walk a straight line? Fast enough that when you stop you have to move your head in the opposite direction you were spinning, just so that your vision doesn't keep on going around, and around, and around? Have you ever seen little kids twirling around so fast that they almost puke, just to feel what's it like? Why are were older one's somehow denied such a simple pleasure?

Valentine's Day

So today is Valentine's Day. If you know me, then you probably know that Valentine's Day is most likely the holiday that affects me the least. Due to the fact that the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube is my main romantic interest, and due to the fact that the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube is a inanimate object, it isn't hard to see that romance isn't a big factor in my life.

I considered making a post about how much love is assumed to always be romantic in today's culture. How in reality love is as much for a friend or a family member as for a lover. It's different, of course, but when the word "love" is said, we usually become uncomfortable. As for those who don't become uncomfortable, I think we need to have a long talk.

But then, I decided I really didn't want to make a post about that because it would no doubt make me feel embarrassed, although I really shouldn't be. To be honest, a homeschooling nerd would probably be the least qualified to make a post about love. But, in honor of Valentine's Day (although now that I think about it this of all holidays probably doesn't deserve it), I will keep this post. Please don't be alarmed if I don't come out of my closet for a few months due to my embarrassment.
