wibbble...
Hrm. I... honestly, that's not the kind of thing that I can look at and say whether it suits or not; that kind of judgement call would be the province of those I consider family. It's interesting, though, and the picture's quite pretty.

zytx... it's cut-tagged because it's a bit on the large side...
Some interesting tidbits there. I'm surprised that only one of the 'famous' folks born that year is dead; I wish the numbers were as favorable for the folks who were my classmates. There were eight of us in the circle of friends I had in high school... only four of us are still here. I'm 'crippled, but mending', it seems, the second's been in a wheelchair for nearly a decade, the third's in an asylum in Washington state, and the fourth, last I heard from him (two years ago), lives in the Dominican Republic. He's the 'successful' one of us - three kids, a loving wife... and inlaws that utterly despise him and have tried twice to get him deported.
Takes all kinds. Personally, I'm glad I'm not committed. My senior yearbook had a 'most likely to be committed' category; the names there were the girl who's in the asylum... and me. *chuckles softly* So far, I've managed to beat the odds on that one. :p Besides, I don't think that the residents get internet access...
Well, I'm off to poke around a bit more. *hugs*
