I am mostly posting because I want to share my new icon that I pretty much made all by myself using the picture from this website that sells the stickers, because, well, it's cool.

So, since technically it is my icon, if anyone wants it they can take it.

We in the office ordered pizza today, because it was that kind of a day and we got to talking about events in history - one woman was sharing her rememberances that started with President Kennedy getting shot and moving on from there. We all pretty much cover a decent age range, so it was fun seeing who remembered what. This made me decide to do the following poll, covering a couple of events from the 60's to the 80's to see what ya'all remember or at least know about. So...enjoy.

Your icon made me laugh out loud.

I remember the attempted assassination of Reagan I didn't like him much, although most people did. It was still upsetting.

I do have a story about Nixon. I was three when the Watergate trials began, and I remember watching the news broadcasts and hearing the name "Nixon" and the word "Watergate," but they didn't mean much to me. That's one of my first really clear memories!
