YOU5LCKY feeling motivated!

Untitled 5 months ago

I looked at the comments that other people have written to complete this goal, and i learned a few things…

apparently there is a web site where you can get a star for free, and you just print off the certificate. Other sites you have to pay, but you get a certificate and a map, or whatever. But considering i dont have a printer, would probably just pay for one.. but it makes me worry if they are all accurate, i would figure that if you pay for one it would have a better chance,but it could just be a scam. And honestly, I would rather have some one name one after me and give it as a gift, but if I asked then It wouldnt seem like It would count… So I will just buy one, and I decided I would give it to my mom. Shes the most influential person in my life, and would think she would appreciate it the most.

For my boyfriend’s birthday, I named a star for him under his horoscope, Taurus. I was always intro creative gifts and he was jealous I beat him to it ;)

I know I can't legally name a star, but... 12 months ago

I’m not letting that stop me! I’ve been interested in stars ever since I read the book Dogsbody, which made me see stars and constellations as more than something pretty to look at it in the night sky.

Although it might sound narcisstic, I want to name a star after myself. My self-esteem is incredibly low most of the time, and I think having “my own” star will help remind me that I deserve to shine and that I should honor my individuality.

I found a site that registers star names for free (although you can pay for “extras”), so money isn’t an issue. I just need to get around to doing this.

Named a star after my sister 17 months ago

I bought a star and named it after my sister. She has stuck by me through so much, and I don’t let her know often enough that I love her, so I thought a star would be the perfect way to show her that.

She’d always talked about one day having a star named after her. So I went ahead and bought her one.

it’s up there around the Gemini constilation.

It was the best gift she gave me.. it’s really awesome to think that somewhere out there, there’s a star named after me!!!



my god its full of stars! 2 years ago

i learned the names of many stars and their locations and the locations of the planets when i was very young. occasionally i’ll look up at the night sky and recognise Mars, or a particular star or constellation, and it makes me very calm for a minute. it’s also fun to point at a bright object in the night sky and say to a friend, that’s Polaris!



Mis Estrellas! :] 2 years ago

Actually I have done very recently two months ago I was looking at the stars…and thinking about people buying stars and thought it was really silly….so I thought why pay for a star…when I can have one for free! :]
