All sorts
Meme stolen from lucie_p:
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year.
Facts:
1. It marks Summer Solstice
2. It is the day of the year with the longest hours of daylight in the northern hemisphere and the shortest in the southern hemisphere.
3. 2003 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth book in J.K. Rowling's hugely popular Harry Potter series, is published. (That was a GOOD birthday :D)
Births:
1. 1905 - Jean-Paul Sartre, French philosopher and writer, Nobel Prize laureate (declined) (d. 1980)
2. 1982 - Prince William of Wales
Deaths:
1. 1908 - Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Russian composer (b. 1844)
Smoking: Tuesday was HARD. I cut back a little too much too soon I think and I was a total bitch all day. The few I did smoke didn't seem to satisfy the craving so I just wanted another straight after. Yesterday was better - I went out for a lot of the day so I was distracted and only had one about every three hours, but today I think I had a breakthrough. These pills must finally be kicking in because I lit my first cigarette of the day at about 9.30am, smoked two drags and just didn't want anymore.
I didn't have another until about 4pm, when I was at home with Sam having diverted the office phones to my mobile. They didn't stop ringing for an hour and Sam was yelling for attention the whole time. I was so stressed after that I was gagging for one, but I've only had one more since so that makes two and a bit all day. Considering my stop date isn't until Sunday I think that's BLOODY GOOD!
