hurray for october!

yes, i mostly love october because that's when my birthday is, and that's great, but I'm not entirely selfish. There are lots of great birthdays in October that deserve to be celebrated. I've actually made it my unofficial duty to find a birthday of someone I know for every day in October. Otherwise, there are plenty of important people who were born in October as well, proving all the more what a spectacular month it is!
