Thirty-third Lotus

Did anyone else who got items get one that had their name on it? Mine is written, in my hand, though I cannot read my family name. It was also wrapped. I liked the wrapping! It was a very nice touch.

Happy new year, if we are correct about a date, to everyone that wishes to have one. And to those who do not want to think it is a new year, tomorrow is a new day any way, and thus should be seized and enjoyed!

I believe if we are going by the calendar that most of us have been, it is now January, and that marks the beginning of a new year. But there is no telling for sure if it really fits here.

Is this time last year winter as well?

[spandexisyouth]

Yes. So it is at least roughly the same. But I think it was hot well into winter last year. Or maybe it was the fire.

[lingeringlegacy]

If that's the case, the cycle of seasons match with Earth's Gregorian calendar system that this New Year is based on, then you can say it fits.

Mm. I've heard of the fire. As significant as it sounded, it doesn't really count in the calendar system.

[spandexisyouth]

I am saying that my perspective of it being warmer might be altered by the fire.

[lingeringlegacy]

Of course! I apologise if I have misunderstood.

[spandexisyouth]

Do not worry about it.

It's not the calendar I was used to, that much I can tell. But it serves, and gives us a common measure for the time. Suppose that's enough.

[spandexisyouth]

I do not think it is exactly the calendar I am used to either. The months do not sound right. But the seasons seem to fit, and the counts as well.

[crimson-seeker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the lunar month seems the same length. The names don't match, but it's workable.

Makes me wonder, though. So many different worlds, but so many things that seem more or less the same, too.

[There are pentaps as Gai tries to be somewhat cautious while thinking fast.] There are a lot of parallels. It is very interesting sometimes. Though there are some differences too.
