You bought a 2005 calendar? Pourquoi?? Also, you aren't ugly. :(

I fat-fingered 2025. My husband bought it in the supermarket. He got a Hubble Telescope pictures calendar for me, and the skyline of New York City for himself.

I'm not ugly in the usual sense - the best word would be "plain". I was fat and frumpy most of my life, and my hair is fine and stringy and more or less unstylable. When I read the complaints of incels, I think about being in high school and never being asked on a date. I was just too un-beautified and weird to interest my male peers. Instead of romancing me, the boys were more interested in beating the weirdness out of me - I was such a weirdo I actually read books for FUN. How can a page of static print be fun? No pictures, no animation, just words on a page? Reading was a chore - homework: "Read Chapter 4 of the history book." ANybody who thinks that's FUN is too weird to be around other people. THeir idea of fun was running around playing some kind of sportsball and beating other people up. Or maybe watching TV.

LMAO!!!! XD Do you ever use them for crafts and stuff? Dude, Reading is awesome!!

I have seen some crafts where people mutilate used books to make home decor items. I would never do that to a book. When I was in college, it was hard for me to get used to underlining things in books to call attention to what I needed to study - I was taught "YOu don't EVER write in a book." And I didn't understand why the other kids in grade school thought reading was so arduous - if I see any words anywhere, I automatically read them. Well, they used a weird method of teaching reading when I was in the first grade - the school didn't know what to do with me, because I already knew how to read when I was in kindergarten. (I just sort of picked it up. At that time, TV commercials consisted of a person holding up a product and pointing to the label. "Buy D*U*Z detergent - it does all your washing!" So I learned that the letters spelled words. And then I just picked up a book and started to read. It was my main source of personal entertainment until I saw my first personal computer.

I love to read so much that when I go to the bathroom, I take a book with me. And I need to have some words in front of my eyes when I eat - I would read the label on the peanut butter jar on the table, just because it had print on it. I get carsick when I try to read in a moving vehicle, so I can't read while I'm riding in the car. On the long trip to/from Rochester, I had intended to bring a thing full of CDs to listen to in the car, but the CD carrier was one of the things that got left behind by accident. So I sang as many songs as I could remember the words to.
