    This year has been jam packed with all my my friends turning 30, and it has made me look back on my favorite music, movies, jokes, vacations, etc.

    Much of it was self inflicted hardships (yes, I remember locking myself in my room everyday after school when my boyfriend of a month moved 4 towns south and we have to break up), but it has all made me who I am today... A loud mouthed redhead who is passionate about work, friends and life.

    With one week left my my 20's and surfing the interwebz, I came across this list of celbs who share the same birth year of 1981.

    Justin Timberlake – January 31st – The “Sexy Back” star gets sexier with age.
    Paris Hilton – February 17th – A party crasher stole her cake at her 30th birthday.
    Beth Ditto – February 19th – The Gossip’s lead singer turned 30 over the weekend.
    Pitbull – January 15th – “‘I Know You Want Me,’ even more now that I’m 30.”
    Alicia Keys – January 25th – An “Empire State of Mind” being 30.
    Elijah Wood – January 28th – This hobbit is still as sexy as ever.
    Kelly Rowland – February 11th – When Love Age Takes Over.
    Joseph Gordon-Levitt – February 17th – Thirty Rock From The Sun
    Josh Groban – February 27th – My voice is mature beyond my years anyway.
    Hayden Christiansen – April 19th – “Jumper” into his thirties.
    Jessica Alba – April 28th – Fantastic Four Thirty.
    Anna Kournikova – June 7th – “30 Love”.
    Natalie Portman – June 9th – “I will be an Oscar winning actress before I’m 30.”
    Beyonce Knowles- September 4th – Her “B-Day” this year will be a big one.
    Jonathan Taylor Thomas – September 8th – Come out, come out, wherever you are!
    Jennifer Hudson – September 12th- Entering her 30s with a killer bod.
    Keyshia Cole – October 15th – She’s gonna “Let It Go” on her big day.
    Nicole Richie – September 21st – Paris’ former BFF is also turning 30 this year.
    Christina Milian – September 26th – Ready to “Dip it Low” on her big day.
    Serena Williams – September 26th – “30 Love” for her too.
    Natasha Bedingfield – November 26th – A “Pocketful of Sunshine” at 30.
    Britney Spears – December 2nd – “One, two, THREE…(ZERO)”
    Sienna Miller – December 28th – Still as hot as ever entering 30

    I am headed to SXSW for both the education and interactive conference in one week and 3 days and next Saturday I will be getting my hair colored (yes, once again) by the lovely Sara Webb from Mint Hair in downtown Santa Rosa.

    I would LOVE your help in choosing a color!

    {note: I have had every version of red, and they all work}

    Please leave me a comment here, Twitter or Facebook with a suggestion of what type of red would be the most appropriate for me at SXSW!

    Of course, it will be some type of red, but I am completely open to suggestions of what color red.

     

    Thanks!

    +Shana.

    Top 25 Geekiest Free Fonts (And Where You Can Get Them) from Free Geekery 

    There are thousands of familiar fonts out there if you think about it. From beverages (everyone knows the Coca-Cola font) to rock bands (AC/DC, for instance), you can use a famous font for just about anything and people will instantly recognize where it’s from. This can be a lot of fun for geeks, especially if you have a project you want to customize, such as a blog entry about Lord of the Rings (Elvish script, anyone?) or a birthday invitation with a superhero theme. Listed below are 25 of the geekiest free fonts available for download.

    1. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Topping the list is the Star Trek font from the original series. It made the number one spot because geeks love Star Trek. It’s a scientfic fact. But before you segue into a “Kirk vs Picard” debate, rest assured that there are many other Trek fonts where this came from— including alien languages. So for those of you who are brushing up on your Klingon or Cardassian, you are in luck.

    2. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Star Wars fans are just as enthusiastic as Trekkies, so this font should interest a lot of geeks. The style is based on the classic 1977 logo from A New Hope that is still being used today on, well, everything. This is easily one of the most recognizable fonts in movie history and is recommended if you feel like traveling to a galaxy far, far away.

    3. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Yes, the most successful sci-fi franchises have the word “star” in the title. Originally a major motion picture, Stargate then became Stargate SG-1, the longest running sci-fi series of all time. We’re not sure what the technical term is for the circle above the “A”, but it is a cool font, nonetheless.

    4. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      This is a no-frills typewriter font that geeks everywhere should recognize. Each episode of the X-Files used this font for the credits, as well as the Law & Order-esque subtitles that accompanied major scene changes.

    5. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Harry Potter has become a multimedia phenomenon, making creator J.K. Rowling the richest woman in England. Due to popular demand, this font was created to mimic the same used for both the books and the films. Fashioned to look whimsical, the “P” appears like a lightning bolt, similar to the scar on Harry Potter’s forehead.

    6. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Like Stargate SG-1, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a wildly popular series based on a mediocre film. This font, the same used for the show’s opening title and official merchandise, looks like dripping blood. It serves as a great multi-purpose font, as it could be used for anything Halloween or horror-related.

    7. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      You can’t have a Buffy font without the Angel font. Angel, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off series, respectably held its own for five seasons. This is the stylized font used in the opening title sequence of the show. It’s not as bold as the dripping blood on the Buffy font, but fans will definitely recognize it.

       

       

    8. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      For children of the 1980s, this film is still considered a favorite. In fact, its cult status has recently prompted director Richard Donner and producer Steven Spielberg to write a Broadway musical based on the movie. The Goonies’ title logo, particularly the skull above the “I”, is still recognized by people over twenty years after the film’s release.

    9. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Goth geeks will love this Crow font, based on the title logo from James O’Barr’s classic graphic novel. This is also the same font used in the Crow films, which never seem to quit returning from the dead (pun intended).

    10. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Sliders was a low-budget science fiction series that flew under the radar for five years. It must have a strong cult following, however, because this font can be found all over the Net. This design is borrowed from the show’s opening and closing credits.

    11. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Japan has made a great impact on American popular culture in recent years, thanks to a growing interest in anime and manga. However, before any of that was popular in America, we were enjoying heavy doses of Japanese monsters, or “kaiju“. This font comes from the original Godzilla (1958) film credits, making it the oldest of the geeky fonts on the list.

    12. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      If you think the Ghostbusters craze is over, then you clearly haven’t been to a sci-fi convention lately. There’s usually at least one guy walking around the place in a jumpsuit, with a homemade proton pack strapped to his back. This font is proof of the Ghostbusters’ enduring popularity, although it is only really recognizable when you use the “O”.

    13. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Galaxy Quest was a hit comedy that accurately spoofed sci-fi culture, but it did so with affection and for that reason, many geeks love it. While it may not be universally familiar to people as the font from Galaxy Quest, this is an attractive and practical font to have available on your word processor.

    14. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Matt Groening’s cartoon series Futurama is a geek favorite. In fact, the canceled series will be returning to television in 2008, largely due to public demand and high ratings that the show’s reruns consistently earn. There are several variations of the Futurama font, including the alien script used on the show.

    15. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Comic book fans will immediately recognize this Fantastic Four font. No, this has nothing to do with the Jessica Alba films. This is old school, Silver Age Fantastic Four font.

    16. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      This Blade Runner font is from the title credits of the 1982 film. Nominated for two Academy Awards, this is one of the most well-respected sci-fi films of all time. There is still a huge following, particularly on the Net, which explains why there is a need for the creation of this typeface.

    17. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Back to the Future was one of the greatest adventure films of the 1980s, even spawning two successful sequels. Make a “flux capacitor” reference in front of a geek and he/she will likely get it. Naturally, the fans demanded a downloadable version of this familiar, italicized font.

    18. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Jim Henson’s Dark Crystal was a groundbreaking and imaginative film that many geeks fondly remember from childhood. The font from the film is impressive, even if you don’t immediately recognize it. A variation on standard calligraphy, this one-of-a-kind typeface would be a nice touch to many creative writing projects.

    19. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Charmed was truly one of those shows that never seemed to end. Alas, it has finally been canceled, but many geeks pay tribute to the show by using this elaborate font. Fans will recognize the witchy design from the show’s opening credits. This one will also be useful for anything Halloween-related.

    20. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      This is a simple, bold font that may not seem branded, but any horror geek can tell you that it just screams, “Evil Dead”. While Sam Raimi may be making millions off his Spider-Man franchise, Evil Dead was the cult classic that got him where he is today.

    21. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      While there are plenty of fonts on this list to please horror and sci-fi geeks, we shouldn’t leave out the British comedy geeks. This classic design is similar to the font used in the second series of Blackadder, which is set during the Renaissance. As such, this font can be used for many projects, not just ones related to the comedy series.

    22. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      Alias was a popular action series that had enough intelligence to attract more discriminating viewers. With a strong geek fanbase, Alias’ famous title font has been beautifully translated into this downloadable typeface. This design is cutting edge and would work well on a project such as a rock band’s flyer. Concerning this font, here’s a tip: typing in the upper case will produce white lettering in a black box, while the lower case will produce black lettering in a white box.

    23. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      There is just no getting around it, Batman Forever was a terrible movie. However, this misguided film did produce a pretty cool font and, thanks to the power of merchandising, it is a recognizable font. This still won’t replace the two hours of your life spent watching Batman Forever, but it’s a start.

    24. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      This is just about the grooviest font ever designed. While this certainly isn’t practical for the office newsletter, you should be able to use this Austin Powers-inspired font for some fun projects.

    25. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


      While this typeface may not be very familiar when it isn’t spelling the word “alien”, sci-fi fans should be pleased with this subtle font. It is exactly like the font used in the original Alien trilogy, making it a popular design for over 25 years.

    Other people are filled with surprises today, and someone's unexpected actions could stimulate a shift in your thinking. A change of perspective enables you to see the current events in a whole new light and come up with original ideas. But it may not be wise to express every opinion you have now. Do the smart thing and think twice before saying something that you wish you could take back.
