November 22nd

I got this from Kristen's blog.

Instructions: Go type in your birthday in Wikipedia (month and day). Write down three events, two births, and one holiday. Then, tag 5 friends.

Events (NO JFK assassination!!!):

1. 1718 - Off the coast of North Carolina, British pirate Edward Teach (best known as "Blackbeard") was killed in battle with a boarding party led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard. (It's Blackbeard, hello, cool lol)

2. 1880 - Vaudeville actress Lillian Russell made her debut at Tony Pastor's Theatre in New York City. (She did some pretty cool things. Interesting woman.)

3. 1922 - Egyptology: Howard Carter, assisted by Lord Carnarvon, opened the tomb of Tutankhamun. (I absolutely completely totally love Egyptology, and this, is one of my favorite events, absolutely fascinating to me.)

Births:

1.1924 - Geraldine Page, American actress (d. 1987) (Interesting because she was born the same day as me and died the same year I was born.)

2. 1899 - Hoagy Carmichael, American composer (d. 1981) (He wrote "Stardust" for goodness sake lol)

Holiday:

1. R.C. Saints - Feast of Saint Cecilia (Music is a huge part of my heart and soul.)

So there it is, all my favorite info lol

For people I tag, of course, anyone that would like to do it (Lots of fun actually lol)
