Find your Celestial Choir
Go to Wikipedia. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year). List three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays, two interesting deaths, and one intriguing holiday or observance. Post this in your journal.
Events
1471 - In England, the Yorkists under Edward IV defeated the Lancastrians under Warwick at the battle of Barnet; the Earl of Warwick was killed and Edward IV resumed the throne.
I find this interesting because I've come to greatly enjoy this bit of history because of the Rose Chronicles fanfic that I've been languishing on.
1828 - Noah Webster copyrights the first edition of his dictionary.
And thank GOODNESS for that!
1915 - The Turks invaded Armenia.
Yes, it happened.
Births
1336 - Emperor Go-Kogon of Japan (d. 1374)
1977 - Sarah Michelle Gellar, American actress
Deaths
1995 - Burl Ives, American singer and actor (b. 1909)
2001 - Hiroshi Teshigahara, Japanese director (b. 1927)
Holiday
Black Day - informal celebration day for single people in South Korea
I'm back in black (read: I have money)! Thank goodness for generous grandparents and upcoming birthdays. I might even get to go to the first West Valley Witches Meetup tonight at the Denny's in Woodland Hills, but because Zack would have to go out of his way to take me there, he's being particularly devilish in coming up with a "fee." I wish my 'feminine wiles' (a pout, a certain stance, whatever) worked on him... or maybe not. That'd be bad.
I'm excited about Sunday~! I finished packing already, but I have to do a lot of homework, since I'm going to be gone the whole time. Unless I manage to do phone or email interviews, I don't know how I'm going to get my Feature #2 done. I hate stupid Prof. Brown. If I'd had this idea and resources a while ago, I might have had a head start on it, but there's nothing more than I hate than a teacher that doesn't understand the concept of a SPRING BREAK. We're not supposed to DO anything having ANYTHING to do with school! ;_; I'm going to try and finish my Japanese tonight. There's no Geography (thank god), but my biggest worry is, of course, for Journalism. There might also be a paper for English, so there's that to worry about, and I have to get my research paper started for WWA.
I'll most likely be focusing on Naoko Takeuchi as a contemporary female manga-ka, contrasting her with Kazuki Takahashi for the male. I'll write for Banana Yoshimoto as the female writer, and likely Novala Takemoto (author of Kamikaze Girls) for the male. I'm most definitely open to more suggestions for the expansion of the research paper -my "book" which I hope to write with Prof. Hirota as part of my Presidential Scholarship award stipulation. :D
Oh, and as a note to all the females out there - when some strange guy looking suspiciously like Napolean Dynamite asks you to sign a petition to END Women's Suffrage, JUST SAY NO. Otherwise you are a Dumb Female and do not deserve to have a Vagina. Go away, shoo, shoo.
Whee, Hawaii! Whee, birthday! Beaches and Mai Tais... and I hope it doesn't rain!

Date: 2006-04-10 08:05 pm (UTC)Sorry about the cut-and-paste oldschool-ness. Couldn't get the special linking to work. -_-V
let me be the first to say...
Date: 2006-04-11 03:08 am (UTC)HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hurray that you're 21!
I wanted to make that all colorful and cool, but I realized my technological expertise doesn't go far beyond strictly hardware. You can probably tell from my latest lj entry, with its lack of lj cuts, lol. Unfortunately, I'm busy the weekend of ur b-day, but Steph is supposed to be coming down this week. If we go hang out, I'll call you. Otherwise, we'll be sure to hang sometime around/ after my birthday, so we can go do "fun adult stuff." Tehehe :DDD
