Happy birthday Maria Harris
Hello again, Maria. Happy birthday. You share your birthday with my friend Emily, who is very kind and quite possibly the funniest person I've ever met. She has an impressive way with words that, as a writer, I feel I ought to be somehow envious. But I'm not because she's THAT good. Babies born on this day tend to grow up pretty good ( Read more... ) -
Happy birthday, Maria Harris.
Happy birthday, Maria Harris. You share a birthday with the City of Washington D.C. and also with Geocashing. Imagine that: an entire city was born on the same day of the year that you were. Well, to be honest it was incorporated, which is pretty much the same thing to a city as being born is to a human. 3 May is also the day that the very first ( Read more... ) -

Since every year I list events and people you proooobably don't care either about or for which either share or coincide with your birthday, I thought I'd change it up and tell you that you share your birthday with Noah Munck ... who I have been told is a funny dude from a show called iCarley.

Which indicates that you will witness some awesome and terrible things over the course of your lifetime ( Read more... ) -

Many people are doing this. Notably the charming ersatzpixie and the lovely bohemiangrrl . But I'm doing it now and that's all that matters.
(I was going to do a content-driven post. Really I was. But meaningful and/ or interesting writing is much less fun than posting pictures. At the moment, anyway.)

Days of Our Hospital. The Young and The Guiding. Restless Light. Something like that.
This has been, bar none, the most melodramatic year I've ever heard of. Certainly the most melodramatic I've ever lived, I tell you that for free. And this is coming from a girl who was once a suicidal drug-addict ( Read more... ) -
Nerdiness is inherited, geekiness is learned.
Da and I go to a lot of movie together. It's a tradition that started right after his divorce from my mother. Sometimes, at least at the beginning, we pretended that the movie outings were commemorative or at least occasional: the first few X-men movies because they were released in theatres right around my birthday... the Lord of the Rings ( Read more... )
