Just asking: If there were only 10 months, when would one celebrate a person’s birthday if they were born in January? (My birthday is January 16th, my sister’s the 25th, and my best friend the 31st. When will we party?)

I hate February, because it’s my birthday month. I hate cold birthdays either. I wish my birthday was in a different month.

You know what’s weird?
My name means ‘pure’, and I was born in February, which apparently comes from a Roman festival of purification.
Whoooooaaaaa.
Neat.

These are the origins of all the months (that I know of):
January — Janus, the Greek god of beginnings, endings, and doors
March — Mars, the Roman god of war
June — Juno, the Roman queen of the gods and goddesses, also the wife of Zeus and the goddess of marriage
July — Julius Caesar, a Roman emperor
August — Caesar Augustus, another Roman emperor
September — septem, which is the Latin number seven
October — octo, which is the Latin number eight
November — novem, which is the Latin number nine
December — decem, which is the Latin number ten

Oh, and to the Anonymous person who wrote “SAD also stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder which is a type of depression that occurs during the fall and winter months due to a decrease in sunlight. However, it goes away when spring and summer return. (Just learned this in health class!!) I say, SAD sure does suit February well for that reason! Also, I was taught that February was pronounced “Feb-you-ary”. Our teachers even taught us that this was the correct pronunciation. Where in America do you pronounce the ‘r’?”
It’s honestly an opinion. I live in the south, where most everybody ignores the ‘r’, but my friend up north said that most people pronounce it there. I ignore it sometimes, and pronounce it sometimes. =)
