"Ode to the September Borns..."

SEpTeMBeR! September is my favorite month out of the 12 that we go through every year. It marks the start of the "-BER" months which translates to Holidays is just around the corner. Christmas carols are played throughout National radio and people (I believe) becomes extra-nicer to other people. It is when I am at my busiest and I am happiest. Busy in a sense that its events here and there almost everyday. This is because my September calendar is literally packed with birthday celebrants and noteworthy occasions. Get this, in all of the 30 days of this glorious month, I'm only missing the 3rd, 11th, 24th, 25th, 28th and 29th dates without any reason to celebrate! Talk about blacking out (like in Bingo)! Imagine the cost of presents and parties that I, and people I know, goes through every September. But as always, it's always worth every single centavo. I don't know, but September-borns are people that becomes special in my life. My Mom and best galfriend was born in the same month, and they're both Virgoes. Which is irrelevant but those two are very important to me. So without further ado, here are them September borns and when they were brought into this world:
