Two things, 1) The moon is in the way of the sun.... How practical of me... and 2) I should probably catch up on Heroes.

no, never, I have met plenty of girls with the same first name and many people with the same last name, but never the two together.

A few years back, I was working in Accounts and recived a invoice from someone with the same name as me but it was spelt differently. Thats as close as I got.

It's a toss up between:
1.Beeping noises (when you don't know the sourse so it just keeps on beeping);
2.When people go through their ringtones on a bus or train; and
3.A phone that just rings and rings (never gets answered).

I don't think I look like anyone or that anyone looks like me. However I have been told I look like Le-Ann Rhymes.

1. The American President
2. The West Wing Season 1
3. The West WIng Season 2
4. Live Aid
5. Castaway (for reference material, so I can learn how to survive).

Well I looked at IMDB and Wikipedia to look aat who I share my birthdate (April, 8) with and there a lots of people, I just don't know who many of them are....

Here is a list of the names I recognised:

• Betty Ford (former First Lady of the United States, from 1974 to 1977)
• Kofi Annan (served Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1 January 1997 to 1 January 2007)
• Tom DeLay (US Congressman & House Majority Leader, In Congress from January 3, 1985 to June 9, 2006)
• Robin Wright Penn (American Actress)
• Patricia Arquette (American Actress)
• Taylor Kitsch (Canadian Actor & Model)
   

As for what I have in common with these people, well I am very interested in politics (maybe not the kind of politics Tom DeLay would like though!!) so that covers Betty Ford, Kofi Annan and Tom DeLay.

I don't know much about the two actresses, but I do love watching movies and TV so maybe thats it.

As for Taylor Kitsch well he is so dreamy and I just adore him... Also I love Friday Night Lights and he plays what has to be one of my favourite characters on the show, Tim Riggins. 

I got rid of my mobile (cell) phone, I have saved a bundle...

I also cut down on driving and I borrow my parents or sisters' cars whenever possible (I conveniently park my car in the corner of our front yard, and with 4, sometimes even 5 or 6, cars in my household I get parked in a lot).

It was late Tuesday Night here and I has just gotten home in time to watch The West Wing like I did every Tuesday night. So The West Wing was on and they had a newsbreak during the advertisements, at that time only one plane had hit (but we didn't know for sure that it was a plane, there was speculation but it wasn't confirmed). The show came back on. I was switching between all the channels and only channel 10 was reporting it so i would switch between that and The West Wing.

I remember seeing the second plane in the background and thinking it was odd, then just presuming it was a military plane or something, until of course it hit the second tower.

I then went and woke up my parents and I told them what was happening and asking if our cousin was still in New York, Dad said no and then went back to sleep. I don't think they understood what I was saying. About an hour or so later Dad got up again and went into the other room and watched the news in there for a couple of hours.

I think they cut into the American news shows by then and I was watching these news people I had never seen before reporting what was going on and I don't know if they had a time delay or what but I remember seeing the towers come down and the reporter didn't realise for what seemed like forever (it was probably less than a minute).

I stayed glued to my TV all night and into the next day. It wasn't until Wednesday afternoon I actually went to sleep.


As for how the day holds meaning for me now, I don't know really. What I do know is that I wont ever forget that night and that every year I watch whatever documentaries and memorials I can so that won't happen and the memory stays fresh.
