Well, this looked fun!
Apr. 9th, 2006 09:28 amGo 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 and one interesting death. Post this in your journal.
Events
Wow. A lot of events I didn't know even though in my life a couple times I've done those "on the day you were born" trivia thingies. Only three? okay:
-1252 - Pope Innocent IV issues the papal bull ad exstirpanda, which authorizes the torture of heretics in the Medieval Inquisition. Torture quickly gains widespread usage across Catholic Europe.
-1869 - Woman's suffrage: In New York, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton form the National Woman Suffrage Association.
-1964 - The Smothers Brothers give their first concert in Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Birthdays
-1856 - L. Frank Baum, American author (d. 1919)
-1905 - Joseph Cotten, American actor (d. 1994)
Deaths
-1886 - Emily Dickinson, American poet (b. 1830)
And so that you may easily skip if you don't like stories about children:
( kid stuff )
Last night. Oy. Erm, go back. Thursday night we stayed up really late decorating for party on Saturday. Then I had to get up early on Friday. Friday night = neighbours = loud party. Saturday, up kind of early to take to egg hunt. Last night you can imagine how ready I was to crash!
Well, no. Instead I got sick. I don't know what! I hurt so bad I couldn't sleep or even lay down...or stand...or walk. Dunno. Never felt such pain so I got out of bed and tried to distract myself a million ways. The pain was worse than when you feel like food poisoning, but it was different which is why I don't know what it was and probably why I didn't get sick in that way. Still, very weird. I told myself if that ever happens again I'm calling a doctor. Finally subsided at 3 am, so I went to bed. I'm still at a loss to explain as I feel just fine today. Couldn't sleep after 8:30 this morning for no good reason. Bah. Maybe I'll get a chance to nap later.
P.S. ( more events because they were just too interesting (to me) to forget )
