ithikaYeah. History is insanely cool.
And, as it happens, I also haven't updated in a while, and, and I'm experiencing something like livejournal withdrawal. Bwahahah. Erm, not sure if it's funny, but mehh.
Oh.
St Joan of Arc
1412, 6 January [birth] Domremey
1431, 30 May [death] Rouen
Peasant. Poor but not needy. Probably the youngest of a family of 5. Never learned to read or write but was good at sewing and spinning.
Unusually pious child, grave beyond her years, spent a significant time in prayer.
When at her trial, the judges tried to suggest that Joan of Arc had taken part in witchcraft around ‘the fairy tree’ [l'Arbre des Dames] but her sincerity was baffling. She said that she had taken part in the singing and dancing, but only until the age of 12.
One of her most famous abilities was that she could hear people speaking to her. She reffered to them as her ‘voices’ or ‘counsel’. Started off as if someone was speaking nearby, but later on it was accompanied by a blaze of light.
Towards the latter part of her life she claimed that it took the form of Saints Michael, Margaret and Catherine. Also claimed that “I saw them with these very eyes, as well as I see you”
Joan did a great deal for the people of France, and most of her efforts were aimed at bettering the lives of the peasantry.

One of Joan’s most famous features was her ability to hear people speaking to her, which she called her ‘voices’ or her ‘counsel’. At first she heard it only as if someone was speaking near to her, but later on a blaze of light accompanied it. Further still on she claimed to recognise Sts Michael, Margaret and Catherine.
Mel Gibson
Widely acclaimed actor, born in 1956 in New York, but is widely considered to be Australian, and he himself has taken our accent.
He originally wanted to be a journalist
Started off with serious stage fright… became a star with Mad Max. & Trillogy.
Has been in many many movies. Many movies.
Won oscar for best actor and best director for “Man Without A Face”
& Many Australian awards, because we love him and he’s ours. Australians=possessive

Gibson had originally wanted to become a journalist but instead he attended the National Institutes of Dramatic Art in Sydney to study drama. Initially, he suffered from terrible stage fright and was so nervous in his first play that he was unable to stand and had to play the role sitting down. He debuted onscreen in Summer City (1976), after which he joined the South Australia Theater Company, and appeared in a number of classical and contemporary productions before neophyte director George Miller invited Gibson to audition for the titular role in the action film "Mad Max." Although the film was only moderately popular outside Australia (it was the nations biggest commercial success in history), its sequel, "The Road Warrior" (1981), hit it big internationally and made Gibson a star. His star status was bolstered by his next film "Gallipoli."
Since then Gibson has stared in dozens of movies (see filmography) and has gone on to conquer serious roles including the title role in "Hamlet" (1990) co-starring Glenn Close. He has, although, sustained his career with action roles such as the three ultra-popular "Lethal Weapon" films and his ever popular "Mad Max" sequels.
Mel made his directorial debut (and also stared) in "The Man Without A Face"(1993). In 1995 he stared, produced and directed the epic "Braveheart," in which he won the Oscar for best director and best actor. He has also won several Austrailian acting awards, including best actor for his performance in "Gallipoli."
Mel is a devoted family man and brings his family of seven children and wife with him on location whenever he is working. When he isn’t working, the Gibsons live on a ranch in Australia.
Guh. Social justice, phooie.
I have this urge to write something.. but I don't know what. Perhaps, shockhorror, something set, well, now. Which is interesting. You see, I never ever write 'now' setting stuff. Well, I don't, generally. If I do, it tends to be generic, any-time, any-place nature stuff, but yeah.
Something... thing. I'm not sure, and I honestly have no idea what I would write, or what I want to write. I just have a feeling, but not something that I can put into words. I could probably... do something... with colour, but, that's not what I want to do. So, so, mehh.
I'll do it later, when I have more ideas.. .or an idea, for that matter.
...yeees.
