Hmm... I think a holiday is a day that's particularly special to a whole group of people, but I think it's sweet you feel that way every day.

[whoexactlyiam]

I see...a whole group of people create a holiday, and that is why it is called that.

[hoseb4bros]

Maybe, though I'm not sure "holiday" comes from "whole". I'm not sure where it comes from, actually.

[whoexactlyiam]

It matters not where it comes from. It is a good word.

Holidays are special days. I'm pretty sure the word comes from "holy day."

[hoseb4bros]

Oh! Of course, that would make sense.

[get_sometail]

I swear it was a pun in some play I read ... but for the life of me I can't remember which one!

[hoseb4bros]

You know, you could just say one and I wouldn't know the difference.

[girlnextorz]

What.

[whoexactlyiam]

No, that isn't it at all. I did not ask what. "What" is the whole-iday. I asked "why?"

[girlnextorz]

I got that the first time.

Because we need them, that's why.

[whoexactlyiam]

It would be difficult to live half-days, or days that are never special.

[fieryballofgas]

Nice drill you've got there.

<3

[whoexactlyiam]

The drill has got itself now that it is made. But I still thank you.

[fieryballofgas]

The drill has itself now?

[whoexactlyiam]

Yes. It must seek its own destiny.

[un_x_pected]

They're not the same thing. Holidays are completely different from holey days. . . Why do you have so many holey days?

[whoexactlyiam]

I have been learning thus.

That is a very easy question! My days are whole because I am with Simon. However, if I were not with Simon, my days would still be whole, for he would be in my heart, and I in his.

[un_x_pected]

But holey days are when you wake up and find out the shirt or underwear you wanted to wear has a hole in it. I think you mean something else.

[whoexactlyiam]

I see! I mean entire days, when we are together in ourselves.

If you care not so much for your clothes, however, it is possible for a holey day to be a whole day.
