Lol I'm sure he did. I don't know how that happened.

Just posted mine to my lj. I kinda felt bad because I only recognized two people that died on my birthday, but I had way more to choose from than needed for birth itself. Everything else was really lame for me, too.

Yeah, I also hoped more exciting things had happened on my birthday. Although, tbh, I wouldn't mind exchanging bank accounts with Martha Stuart...

At least two great writers died on your birthday! Even if I kind of hate Heart of Darkness.
