I very much remember on multiple accounts, times when my family would stay up late and have strange discussions. Sometimes they were quite serious, but on other occasions they would be about how we see things from our perspective and state of mind. For instance, have you ever asked anybody else how they imagine time, or the months, or maybe even the cycle of the year? When you first think about it you probably think that everybody sees it as a cycle, but others say it's like a crescent shape, or an oval, or it's similar to a swirling vortex.
I personally see a year as a diagonal line that starts at the upper left-hand corner and slants down to the lower right-hand corner. Corner of what? I don't know! My months are color-coded though. Quite different I know.
January is blue, February is blue, March is brown, April is yellow, May is pink, june is orange, july is orange, august is brown, september is brown, october is brown, november is blue, and december is both blue and white.
I'm not sure how I got these specific colors, but that's just what I think of when somebody says the name of that month. If you didn't notice already, some of the colors repeat, and their isn't even a green, red, purple, or black. I never made up these colors. If I had I would've atleast included my two favorite colors green and purple. I baffle myself sometimes.
Some other things discussed during these long perios of insomnia in the Draft house are things like.....who resembles which side of the family?.....who has whose nose?.....who tans, freckles, just burns, or does nothing at all?.....who prefers milk chocolate?Why?....What's wrong with dark chocolate?!.....What did your horoscope say today?.....etc.
I don't know why we touch on these subjects. Basically we just chit chat ALOT. If you're wondering about whose nose we decided on....F has a Draft nose....A has a Burnie nose....Bony-M has a Draft nose....M-Lite has a Draft nose....Genuine was found in a free box so she has neither....H has a Draft nose...F2 has a Burnie Nose...and H2 has a definate Draft nose. Not everyone was home when we made these decisions, but we had a pretty good majority vote to decide.
And as I'm sitting here pondering about noses, i'm flippin' out because my ipod won't charge.

I'm assuming that dad is "draft" but I'm confused as to where the name came from. Mom always told me that I have a female version of dad's nose. But whatever. I see the year in calender style going horizontally- six months across and then another six months below that.
