The Ninth Scribe at Two Years Old

~~~~ My "Happy Birthday" Page ~~~~

I made a grand entrance! It's funny in a way because I told so many people that my earliest memory was sliding down a fountain that was made of different colored lights. I thought it was a "strange" recollection and it didn't make much sense... until I found these articles, quite by accident, in the autumn of 2004. I was actually looking for unusual cosmic activity for biblical research but when my own birthday came up I couldn't resist taking a quick detour to check it out. In the end, everything began to make perfect sense to me, even what Azrael had once said. He told me that on the day I was born, my light was so bright it almost blinded him. I thought he was just being poetic. Of course, it was't "my" light he saw. It was a Type-3 flare {the largest type of solar explosion} and it brought a pretty dazzling display of "different colored lights" to my home town. It was... quite the party!!!

Type 3 solar flare gives North America a rare auroral display.

So, what does all this mean? Not a damn thing! But it is kind of cool, huh? All in all though, I'm just as normal and just as nuts as the rest of you! I've led a pretty unusual life, but from what I've seen here on Earth... that's not really unusual. There are lots of adventurous and colorful souls here. I just happen to be one of them. I'll be writing more on the suject of my childhood and I'll be sure to include more pictures too, if I can ever get my mother to cough them up for the 30 minutes it would take me to scan them! She's very possessive when it comes to the family archives! Anyway, stick around if you're interested.

To be continued....
