Fortitude. (+54 stamina)

I'm posting more or less every day now and I wonder how long I'll be able to keep that up. The main reason is probably that I basically have 5 days a week off. Technically only 4, but I count days where I don't have to wake up until 2 PM as days off.

So... Valentine's Day. Not quite as memorable this year, I'm gonna have to say. I did bake cupcakes with Ayesha, which was nice. I also delivered them to several people, which I enjoyed immensely, probably more than they enjoyed receiving them. I think the reason it's so fun is the sheer ridiculousness of it. I baked fucking cupcakes for Valentine's Day and delivered them personally to people's rooms. Who does that? Where the hell did I come from?

On that note... Glenna made a comment during the car ride back from the Glee Club retreat that has stuck with me a bit. We were talking about siblings, and she said that she always finds it interesting meeting people's parents, because most of the time you can pretty easily see why they turned out the way they did. And I agree, a lot of people I meet end up being a pretty good combination of their parents' personalities.

Then I think about myself and where I might have "come from". I had a sordid childhood, one with more or less a definitive lack of role models. For the most part, I don't see myself in any of my remaining family members. Sure, there are values that I share with them, particularly with my brother, but in terms of mannerisms... sense of humor... stuff like that... I think you might be hard pressed to find similarities.

Of course, I could just be hopelessly biased. Maybe I'm much more like my Mom than I'm willing to admit. Anything's possible.
