Being the history minor/obssessor that I am, I figured 'you're always looking up daily trivia facts anyways, why not make a world to enlighten people with?' And so, This Day in History was born.
The historical facts placed here can be of our world history, the history of any other made up land/universe, movie history, etc. It simply has to have happened on the day that you post it.
So, if you think you've got what it takes to be an agent of history, let me know and I'll add you >:}
I know what you're thinking, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, she's alive???"
And look at that, I'm very much still in existence~ And apparently my main world got deleted?
But hoooooly crap, it's been eons and then some since I've been on here. Working a full time job, part time job, AND going to school full time while working on getting an internship really keeps one on their toes.
Let's see, so much has happened.... Ummm, I guess the biggest, recent one is that I was in a video:
See if you can catch all four of my deaths~ I've been cosplaying a lot, my big hit being female BBC Sherlock... Doing a lot of work with my historical reenactment group...
......Yep. A lot of other stuff that I'm blanking on? Been focusing a lot on becoming a DP and Gaffer in the film industry while teaching history on the side. Yesssss... aaaaaaaand I need to leave for work.
SO. YA'LL SHOULD ADD ME ON SKYPE since it deleted all of my contacts at one point. I'm brilliant.assassin and I'm on tumblr too.
Anyways, hope to hear from some of you soon!
Blood
On this day in history, seventy years ago, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, dragging American forces into WWII, later helping us become one of the greatest nations that there has ever been in the entire world's history.
Please take a moment out of your day to honour the men and women who lost their lives in this surprise attack, and even those who stepped in to defend our country and fought in the war that we entered soon after.
