In for a long night...
Sitting up at SMU Rides tonight with some of my housemates because I need the hours like woah. I should be reading one of the two class books I brought with me or working on my poetry, or something... what was I doing instead until I came in here to waste time on the computer? Kicking back with some of the cooler girls from the house and reading the book on sexuality dakotawitch lent me what feels like ages ago. (Yeah, I know, I'm a horrible lendee. It'll come back into your possession eventually.)
Choir concert went very well, btw. We screwed up in a couple of places, and the Handel and Schumann (the German one) pieces were killer, but I think it all came together with the awesome gospel piece at the end. :D Susan, I'm sorry you couldn't make it! Probably for the best, though, since my extended family ended up turning out almost in full force... it was actually kind of terrifying to see them all lined up in the third row.
I've been trying to write this post for an hour and have come to the conclusion that I actually have nothing else to say. Here, have a meme. Tonight's memeage is ganked from intrepidredhead:
Go to Wikipedia and enter in your birth date, but not the year. List three neat events, three births and three deaths, and include the year for each.
Highlights from June 28:
Events
1894 - Labor Day becomes an official US holiday.
1919 - The Treaty of Versailles is signed, ending World War I with Germany.
1969 - Stonewall riots in New York city mark the beginning of the modern
gay rights era.
2005 - Canada's lower house paves the way for same-sex marriage to be
legalized there, and make it the third country to do so.
Births
1703 - John Wesley, English founder of Methodism (d. 1791)
1891 - Carl Panzram, American serial killer (d. 1930)
1926 - Mel Brooks, American filmmaker
1948 - Kathy Bates, American actress
Deaths
767 - Pope Paul I
1836 - James Madison, President of the United States (b. 1751)
1889 - Maria Mitchell, American astronomer (b. 1818)
1914 - Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria (assassinated) (b. 1863)
Clearly, I couldn't keep it to three either, and I'm not even a historian. XD
