Go to wikipedia and look up your birthday (excluding the year). List 3 neat facts, 2 births and 1 death in your journal including the year. Also put any holidays that might be on your day!

Facts

1800 - U.S. President John Adams takes up residence in Washington, DC (in a tavern – the White House was not yet completed). - this one is interesting to me because John Adams is my great-great-etc grandfather
1973 - Reggae stars Bob Marley and the Wailers release the classic album Exodus, which will be named Time magazine's "Album of the Century" in 1999.
1989 - The government of China sends troops to force protesters out of Tiananmen Square after seven weeks of occupation.
