Can you commit to doing anything for seventy-four years?

Hello everyone, it is Danielle Tuesday, which is what I'm going to call my day from now on. First things first, we need a thing to call the people who read this blog, i.e. ourselves. Does anybody have any suggestions? Speaking of names, I would just like to remind everybody that our blog name is still "COOL PEOPLE OF EVERY AND ANY NATIONALITY." I think it's a, you know, endurable name, but it just doesn't look good in the front cover of Time magazine when we inevitably become rich and famous.

I would also just like to congratulation everyone for getting through the first week of the collab!!! To celebrate, here is a bottle of champagne...

 ...and poured for each of us! I own the fourth glass.

This kind of celebration reminds me of this amazing story I read from Rookie Mag yesterday.

Okay so these two ladies, Norma Frati from Porland, Oregon, USA and Audrey Sims from Australia, ages 87 and 83 respectively, had been penpals for SEVENTY-FOUR YEARS before meeting for the first time last week! They started writing to each other when Norma Frati needed a penpal for a school project when she was just thirteen years of age, and when Audrey Sims was nine. They've written letters all these years through boyfriends, marriages, divorces, and giving birth to their children, even World War Two, but have never met in real life. SEVENTY FOUR YEARS YOU GUYS. SEVENTY. FOUR. YEARS. That's the kind of dedication that I need to have! I ship their friendship. I mean I could just imagine the amount of letters that they must have collected from each other over the years!

That was supposed to be the only story that I have for this week but since I woke up today with mind-numbing menstrual cramp pains (we have reached that level, yes), I need to show you this video:

That is all.

Rookie Mag was a huge help for me for this post, you can check out the article where I got this story and that video from here.
