TeniPuri birthdays
EDIT -- Please link to the HTML version here.
What I have learnt from the last meme is that a great many of you have known me (or of me, or have been reading me pikapika chirachira hanyaan) for a far longer time than I'd assumed. In the interim I also learnt from my tracker that about 110 people visited my site the day I put up the new layout - about four times the usual - and four of those 110 people commented. This is not to say that I demand more comments, because I don't answer all of mine as it is; merely that I think these two facts are somewhat related. In a facets of human nature sense. XD
Okay! This is a designated informative entry. Some days back I took birthdays down from 20.5 for Talya, and thought it would be worthwhile to do a full list so people could, like, link back to it. Saints know I need something like that for myself. (What I should do is put up an HTML page in the translations section of my site, but nobody does that nowadays. Baa.) Thus:

Itsuki: August 31, Virgo, age 14
Kisaragi: November 20, Scorpio, age 14

Jackal: November 3, Scorpio, age 14
Kirihara: September 25, Libra, age 13
That took longer than expected, to no one's surprise but my own. >_> Remember that the Japanese school year begins in April and ends in March, and kids graduate junior high at 15. Not to say that my math has no mistakes in it, because it probably does.
Randomzoid observations:
* Kachiro is the youngest character. Marui is the oldest. *cracks up*
* For that matter, Jirou's the oldest in Hyotei.
* Fuji and Yuuta have birthdays ten days apart (to either side of mine ^^;), and are both young for their years. Yukimura is the youngest for his year. Thus, Fuji is closer to Kaidou's age than he is to Ooishi's, and Yukimura is closer to Kirihara's age than Sanada's. If you want to be logical about the series - always an iffy proposition - this goes a long way toward explaining why the second years are so much bigger than the first years. They're only a grade apart, but Momo is actually 1 1/2 years older than Ryouma; Kaidou is nearly 2 years older than Kachiro.
* Inui is exactly one day older than Renji. They're the only ones to have June birthdays.
* Most all the Hyotei third years have their birthdays in September-October.
* Ryouma was born on Christmas Eve, Dan on the day after New Year's, Kaneda on New Year's Eve and Ohtori on Valentine's Day.
* People with the same birthdays (the j-fen have a lot of fun with this):
-- Shishido and Kurobane (September 29)
-- Horio and Kirihara (September 25)
-- Shinji and Jackal (November 3)
-- the Kisaragi twins (well, duh - November 20)
-- Ikeda and Sakurai (July 18)
* My impression was right: there really are twice as many charas born in July-December as January-June.
January: 2 / February 4 / March: 3 / April: 5 / May: 4 / June: 2 / July: 5 / August: 5 / September: 6 / October: 8 / November: 9 / December: 6
Uhh... and the fanbook calculates that Fuji actually has his eyes open 37% of the time, so... /end useless statistics
The other thing I wanted to post: while going through the character profile pages attentively, I realised that a lot of them included "suggested careers". (Not to mention totem spirits, as if they knew I'd be reading, but I'll leave that for some other time.) These aren't futurecanon or anything, thank heavens, but I find them rather sporflingly amusing as guidelines. XD
Ryouma: pilot, astronaut
Tezuka: Yuki Eiri novelist
Ooishi: artist
Fuji: something in the artistic domain
Kikumaru: model, "talent", childcare worker
Inui: lawyer, accountant, notary
Kawamura: it doesn't say, so I'll assume sushiya ^^;
Momoshiro: sportsman, coach
Kaidou: event planner [......like, what, a wedding planner?]
Last note on Tezuka: he was an explorer in his past life. As in Mason and Dixon, Sir Edmund Hillary, Ferdinand Magellan. (This is stated as canon.) ...I know, it explains so bloody much, dunnit.
