Dear fans of the Super Bowl,
"Super Bowl" is two words, not one.

Dear Super Bowl tweeters,
I'm giving you people until tomorrow to stop talking about this. Seriously.

Dear Super Bowl,
Don't ever get between me and House. Ever. Again.

Dear House,
I love you. If things don't work out between you and Antarctica girl, call me.

Dear Elijah Wood,
Don't worry, love. You're still my favorite. I'm yours for the marrying whenever you find the time.

• Please ignore the odd angel /devil / heart thing that I carelessly slapped on a stripey background as my new "It's February, so let's deck the halls with pink and red and love!" header. That will be changing tonight or tomorrow or very soon. Fixed!
• If you haven't already voted on the name of my sock monkey, please go do so. It's important to practice voicing your opinions, especially for those with a presidential election coming up.
• Remind me to never again ask the internet to marry me or even date me. The responses to this entry were, for the most part, entirely depressing. Thanks to the three people who love me, though! You're my new BFFs, whether you want to be or not.
• Oh my gosh, if you don't want to be my BFF, please do not tell me about it. I can't handle any more rejection this week.
• If you're super cool and like helping people out while being helped out yourself,donate $2 to Golfwidow and get a guest blog entry in return. She's a brilliant writer and oh-so-funny, so you'll be getting way more than $2 worth of greatness. This is an especially tempting offer to those of us who foolishly signed up for Blog365 and realized on January 1 that we had nothing to say.
• If anyone has tips on how to overcome social anxiety (I'm seriously becoming a hermit here), leave a comment or email me.
• It's been a while since I've mentioned this, but I'm seriously in love with Aku's eyebrows. They're all flamey! And awesome! And flamey!

"If you get too stressed out, just picture a llama wearing a poncho. I dare you to be stressed after that." —my friend, Ben, in an email that totally just made my day.

January was a rather nasty month here in Skirtsville (and in other places, I hear). My job had me wanting to gag myself with a spork, and it took many hours of Sims 2 and Samurai Jack and cuddle time with the currently nameless sock monkey to keep me from resorting to such painful remedies. That said, I'm in the mood to do fun things and to meet cool people and to smile and laugh until my cheeks and sides hurt. Got any sweet ideas? Links? Sock monkeys?

P.S. Ben, thank you. Internet, the title of this entry is a load of crap.
