Lovelies! DID YOU KNOW?
... that the calendar I, and quite a lot of you use, is called the Gregorian Calendar? The one with 365 (366) days, and the twelve months and the one that's far out in number 2010? Well, it has dates. Dates can have special meaning, and dates can be insignificant to some. Dates begin and end at different times- depending on where you happen to be on the great Mother Earth. Dates can end with babies.
Look! September feel or what? Image is from here, from this awesome artist.
As for the time in my little loft, I'm posting this the 12th of September, the 9th month of 2010. And I'll tell you something that's happened on this day of the year some other year before!
I'm going to tell you all about a lot of dates and happenings! Each day I post an entry, I'll tell you something special about that day c:
And to start off the tradition with a BANG!, I give you the birth of an American serial killer.
Have a blast.
Don't he look nice?
Gerald Stano was born the 12th of September, 1951. His mother couldn't take care of him, and the doctors were skeptical to letting him be adopted, seeing that he at the age of six months ate his own feces. Because he was starving, of course.
He was adopted anyhow, by a nurse who took good care of him. As a child he was difficult and troubled.
He admitted to have started killing in his early 20's, but might've begun the acts even earlier. By the time he was getting close to 30, he was sent to prison for murdering 41 women. 41... He spent the rest of his life there, until he was 46 (1998), and was executed in the electrical chair.
A book was released in 1993, about his life and crimes, called 'Blind Fury'. Here's more about him if you're interested.
Lator!
