second, though i can't remember the exact name - my RE teacher just got a new bok from Amazon, it goes through every day of the year and gives it a pagan meaning, and the 6th november had someone related to Dragons a St someone or other, i really can't remember but still, i may have found my connection to dragons!

I'm not sure if there is any particular meaning to my birthday, but perhaps the first cosmetic item was created on August 31?
