hey hey you you I don't like your girlfriend
Had a sleepover last night at Jessica's with both my sisters and her little cousin. It was pretty fun but we all crashed a bit early (around midnight or 1). Then I was awakened this morning from the deepest sleep I've had in awhile by her cousin coming into the room because she was scared from being put in a room by herself last night. So she crawled in bed with Jess and I, but didn't really sleep. I forgot how wiggly little kids are. Then a little bit later she wanted breakfast and kept trying to wake up Jessica, but I could tell she wasn't up to getting up. Who knows what the fuck Kim was doing and why she wasn't helping, even though she was the one who had insisted upon the cousin coming over. So I made her a waffle, gathered up the my sisters' things, and left the cousin with a sleeping Jess, watching Muppet Treasure Island so she wouldn't bother Jess to wake up.
Anyway, here's a

1896 - In Athens, the opening of the first modern Olympic Games 1,500 years after being banned by Roman Emperor Theodosius I.
1917 - World War I: United States declares war on Germany
1938 - Teflon is discovered. (alright, science!)
3. List two (or more) important birthdays.
1483 - Raphael, Italian painter and architect (d. 1520)
1928 - James D. Watson, American geneticist, Nobel laureate, one of 3 discoverers of DNA structure
1965 - Frank Black, American singer/songwriter (Pixies)
1969 - Paul Rudd, American actor
1976 - Candace Cameron, American actress
1976 - Georg Hólm, Icelandic musician (Sigur Rós)
4. List one death.
1520 - Raphael, Italian painter and architect (b. 1483) ...weird to die on your birthday
1992 - Isaac Asimov, Russian-born author (b. 1920)
5. List one holiday or observance.
Tartan Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, a day set aside for the celebration of Scottish influence
The date of organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Joseph Smith, Jr.. Also the date on which The Church teaches that Jesus was born. (..so to the Mormons, my birthday is on Christmas?)
In other news, Joey's on his way home today. I haven't talked to him in over 4 days now because of my time away from the internet this past weekend, and then I guess maybe they shut off his internet just before he was leaving his apartment. I feel bad for him because I remember the feeling I had for about a week or two after being back in the states. It's a horribly homesick and guilty feeling that I just can't explain. Still, I can't wait to be able to call him whenever I want. Also means I'm that much closer to seeing him again.
