"i've been asking this for years, i know the catch is 22, but WHY 22?
why not 4 or 31? why 22?
you know, of course, that i collect 22's...
kauai is on lat 22. my name and birth-times, according to some body at some time told me i am a 22, and i attract 22s.
and so many of my numbers, ss #, auto lic tag, phone, many many - well most - have 22. i am surrounded by 22's and i also see them as swans kissing when one of them turns around and their cute beaks touch.
ahhhh, romantic.
my gmt birth is 11:44am and i rewrite that as 2:22 22 . i met X in 1984=22. and we divorced in 2004 ( 2 00 22). and it continues to show up no matter where i look, there it is. when i'm driving, i notice a car with 22 on the tag. may not see the car or the driver, but i see the tag.
my phone number is X22-2XXX, my cell is XXX-7224. i didn't ask for these numbers. my car tag is 322. anyway - my brother was born on 8/22 and i usually think that's my birthday and someone made a mistake...my birthday is 8/25 . we usually celebrated both on the 23 or 24th. my spirit feels 8/22 is my day.
i often wear a tutu and own 2 of them.
and they are too-too much!!!
tahitian for grandmother is tutu..."
