So this year my birthday just happens to fall on "90210" (Sept. 2, 2010), and I reeeeeaaaaallly wanted to have a 90's throw-back party with awesome 90's pop rap music, Fresh Prince-inspired clothing, etc....but since all my energy was funneled into the listen.read.love.repeat. event this past weekend, my super-awesome 90's party will have to wait for another year! Instead I plan to celebrate 29 in a manner that's become somewhat of a tradition in my late twenties...at a place that involves both a "2" and a "9"... :)
However, just for the heck of it...I thought I'd share a few early 90's photos:
Can we just talk about all the awesome hairstyles? Btw...I'm the little blonde runt third from the left on the front row, casually wearing the wrong color shorts.
Feathered bangs. Enough said.
Just in case you were curious, here are some fun facts about 29 via wikipedia....
- It is the tenth prime number, and also the fourth primorial prime. It is also the sum of three consecutive squares, 22 + 32 + 42. It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n − 1. Since 18! + 1 is a multiple of 29 but 29 is not one more than a multiple 18, 29 is a Pillai prime. 29 is also the 10th supersingular prime. (which I interpret to mean that I'll be in my super single prime...)
- The atomic number of copper
- The New General Catalogue object NGC 29, a spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda
- The lunar month is very close to twenty-nine days.
- Saturn requires over 29 years to orbit the Sun.
- The number of days February has in leap years.
- The number of letters in the Turkish,[1] Finnish, Swedish,[2] Faroese,[3] and Norwegian[4] alphabets.
- The highest possible score in a hand of Cribbage.
- An album by Ryan Adams.[6]
- The track the Chattanooga Choo Choo leaves in the Glenn Miller song.
- The amount of attributes existing according to The Strokes in You Only Live Once.
- The number every woman in the "wrong age" claims to be. According to "The Nanny". (ahem....not so, b/c I really will be 29)
- The number of Knuts in one Sickle in the fictional currency in the Harry Potter novels
