Facebook was Created
This website was invented by a Harvard student, Mark Zuckerberg, and three of his classmates – Andrew McCollum, Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz. Mark wrote the software for the Facemash website when he was in his second year of college. The website was set up as a type of “hot or not” game for students at Harvard. The website allowed visitors to compare two student pictures side-by-side and let them choose who was “hot” and who was “not”. -

Elyse was born!
My younger sister was born in Zhanjiang,Guangdong, China.
My mom had asked me what I wanted to name Elyse, and that it had to start with an E, and so, I was almost literally in love with Clifford, so I had said "Emily-Elizibeth" Of course, mom and dad said no, so I kept trying, and trying, over and over again, until they came up with the name Elyse. -

Sunset Beach,NC
Yes, we actually made it, (with a little help of course, actually, we learned the technique from this man named Tim) And NO, we did NOT use anything but water and sand.
Another favorite passtime is to catch these giant Blue-Crabs in the marsh. They are almost always really big, and really angry. (my sister wonders why.) The only reason we don't have crablegs for dinner, is because my mom says, "I don't have the heart or courage to throw them in to the boiling pot of water." -
