I’ve made too many jokes about being a/having cancer atp. I know a few June 28th and 29ths and one of my old teachers was a June 27th outside of that I don’t know anyone. Celebrity wise i share it with Tobey Maguire, Khloe Kardashia, Drake Bell and the Supernanny
I know two other people who share my birthday (one with my exact birth year and same hospital!!!) and they are both beautiful and talented but very stressed out gay men. My people.
I was never a fan of having a winter birthday. It’s always so cold that nobody wants to get together and since the start of the pandemic era, I’ve been sick on most of them. So, I decided to celebrate my fake birthday on the same day as Frank O’Hara’s fake birthday, June 27 (his mother was pregnant before marriage fled to Baltimore and lied about his birthday.)
I have learnt in the last year that if I don’t have at least 1 actual conversation with a person each day I start to go crazy. I genuinely don’t think I could survive being stranded by myself as I’m to reliant on socialising with people.
Completely done with university now just waiting for graduation in July. For those who are interested my dissertation was on how music streaming platforms have individualised how we listen to and experience music
My school did a workshop about it when I was like 10 and I think the amount of care and dedication it takes to hand crafting each and every frame is so cool. When its done well you get a really stylised films, I’m thinking like Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, ParaNorman and The Box Trolls all of which I loved as a kid and every time I rewatch them I get the same sense of childlike wonder I did when I watched them the first time. I know there’s a lot of crossover with CGI now when making them but just the concept of stop motion animation is really cool.
