I always have to wonder why musicians will always say things like, "Our new album is finished! It'll be out in five months." Why the delay? I'm sure there's some crazy business-related reason for it. It's just that the album pretty much always leaks out well ahead of time, and people will download the songs. If the record companies are as determined to prevent illegal downloading as they pretend to be, shouldn't they, like, put out the legal alternative sooner?
I'm way behind on my friends page. While scanning it, though, I noticed a few interesting memes.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zaph, little_octagon, travspence, and countblastula all did this. There were two versions, but I did the one where I post more results. (In the other, people only posted two births and one death.)
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, three births, and three deaths in your journal, including the year.
November 18
Neat facts:
1095 - The Council of Clermont, called by Pope Urban II to discuss sending the First Crusade to the Holy Land, begins.
1307 - According to legend, William Tell shoots an apple off his son's head.
1985 - Calvin and Hobbes, a comic strip by Bill Watterson, is first published.
Births:
1861 - Dorothea Dix, American activist (d. 1887)
1928 - Mickey Mouse, Cartoon Mouse
1939 - Margaret Atwood, Canadian writer
Deaths:
1922 - Marcel Proust, French novelist (b. 1871)
1962 - Niels Bohr, Danish physicist, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1885)
1994 - Cab Calloway, American bandleader (b. 1907)
Speaking of birthdates, here's some numerology thing from3x1minus1:
Calculate your lifepath number by adding your birthdate digits, and your attitude number by adding the month and date digits. And get your numerical results described here.
1+1+1+8+1+9+7+7=35
3+5=8
1+1+1+8=11
1+1=2
EIGHTS do not feel safe unless they have found a way to establish financial security. It is difficult for the 8s to take advice.When they make a choice, they must feel it is their decision, NOT SOMEONE ELSES. As a result, they do tend to learn the hard way. 8s are very honest and by being so blunt, they unintentionally hurt feelings. Although they can sometimes appear insensitive, what is going on inside them is the exact opposite. They do feel deeply about everything that goes on in their lives.
The 2 Attitude is easy going. They are very good observers. They're also drawn to anything regarding psychic ability, and often may experience déjà vu. It is not uncommon for them to have a dream that comes true. They are in touch with their intuition and the metaphysical side of life. They do have compassion for people and are fascinated with people's stories. They are seldom bored.
I originally messed up and posted the lifepath results for three, rather than eight. It turns out that three was more accurate for me. And the attitude result is totally wrong. I'm pretty much the complete opposite of easy-going. I live on my nerves. Really, though, numerology makes astrology looks like a hard science. You can manipulate a set of numbers to come up with just about any result. That's how numbers work.
A much more accurate form of numerology is the one thatshadarko brought up in this post. {g} That is, incidentally, the source of my subject line, in case anyone was wondering.
Okay, I'd better get some breakfast.
