  1. Today is Fun Facts About Names Day!

    My first name is "Eric":

    From the Old Norse name Eiríkr, derived from the elements ei "ever, always" and ríkr "ruler". A notable bearer was Eiríkr inn Rauda (Eric the Red in English), a 10th-century navigator and explorer who discovered Greenland. This was also the name of several early kings of Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
    This common Norse name was first brought to England by Danish settlers during the Anglo-Saxon period. It was not popular in England in the Middle Ages, but it was revived in the 19th century, in part due to the children's novel 'Eric, or Little by Little' (1858) by Frederic William Farrar.

    Which is funny, as I am currently the Emperor of an alliance in another nation simulator. :P

    What's your first name, and what are some fun facts about it? If you're feeling lazy, just tell me your first name and I can look up some things. :D
  2. Today is Inconvenience Yourself Day!

    Which isn't as negative as you may think!

    "Inconvenience Yourself Day may seem like an unusual holiday to celebrate. Its goal or mission is not only to recognize a person's self awareness in life, but also to acknowledge other people's lives and actions as well. There are times where you need to put yourself first, but this day, try to put someone else before you. This unofficial holiday is celebrated on the 4th Wednesday in February."
