Ahaha, well, in complete fairness, I sometimes cheat on keeping track of every anniversary ever because she's been in Poly so long that sometimes when I'm looking for something to post about, I'll go back a year in her journal and see where she was a year ago as opposed to in the present day. (Or two years ago, or three--!) So occasionally I'll remember things that way, like Blue's birthday being in February and so on. But a lot of them just kind of fall into neat patterns (oh, it's August -> Rosella hates August -> oh right here are all the reasons she has to hate August -> memories of past shenanigans!) and the rest of it...I really don't know, it's just a knack, I guess! Part of it is that Rosella lends herself well to remembering things in story format, so it's really easy to be like, "Oh, I see, it's just like this other thing that happened when [insert the story here]", and so it sort of fits that theme that her life in the City is really just a series of adventures that she's remembering to repeat someday to her father's court chronicler back home.

(AND I DIDN'T EVEN BRING IT UP THIS TIME. YOU SAID IT, NOT ME. No, but really, for all that you're probably never going to live it down, in retrospect I'm kind of glad you did make that comment all those years ago? Because she does have that potential and it gave me something to keep my eye on and I think she turned out better because of it, so there. ♥)

And I am definitely doing my best not to stress! I just need to find a good balance so I can get back to devoting an appropriate amount of time and attention to all you lovely people.
