So when the car warms up, the thermo gauge goes all the way up to the H, then settles down soon after. Sometimes this will occur again while driving. Coolant is steadily getting drank up and I have to top off every month and it doesn't get driven that much.
Head gasket done?
Block warped?
SR20?
Oil in coolant?
Coolant in oil?
My guess is a sticky thermostat + external coolant leak.

put some paper towels under your hose connections when you park it. my civic "drank" coolant for a while until i found it was just the hoses leaking when it got really cold.
the temp thing? sounds like thermostat gone bad.

sounds like your T-state is on the fritz. Easy fix, takes about an hour and 10 bucks for the thermostat and silicon sealant. Is it blowing white smoke? Are there puddles under the car? Do any of the hoses look wet?
white smoke is typically a sign of coolant getting into the combustion chambers. Changing a headgasket on that car is probably a weekend job. Hopefully the thermostat will fix the overheating; coolant is cheap, keep on going :-). KA's are pretty cheap too, blow the bitch up and get another. Or become a fanboi and get an SR :-).
just throw a KA on and do turbo.
