Yeah, I was wondering that myself. I didn't say anything 'cause I was worried I'd missed out on an in-joke and would make myself look dumb. ;D

So lemme tell thee the interesting story of "Katharina and 28". [Baised on true events!]
You know, it started two years ago. Approximately. We are a tea-loving and drinking family. Normally, I make the tea and I time it for three minutes. We have a digital watch which runs backwards till zero. And whenever I looked how much longer it´d take it would say: "2 minutes 28 seconds". Back then I never thought about it. When I looked again I read: "1 minute and 28 seconds". Guess what it displayed when I looked the third time... XD "0 minutes and 28 seconds". I started to wonder...
And you know, whenever I wake up early to go to school I stare at the alarm clock, reading "06:04:28". And the tea-timing-thing repeats. That started, if I recall correctly, two years ago. 2004. And one year prior to that I stumbled over Chris´s books. Then at the end of ´04 I learned that Chris´s birthday was 28 February. And suddenly all made sense. XD So, I guess it´s a higher power meddling with my life.
Or just stupid coincidence.
But then, when I open the TIME and flick through it, and a watch advertisment displays a watch with a day-display saying "28", I doubt the coincidence-explanation.
A friend of mine once said: "This number follows you wherever you go..."
28 is my favourite number.
Oh, and the latest example that 28 is haunting me for good: Dad played lotto yesterday and among six other numbers 28 got pulled out of the container.
Creepy? Naaaaah. XDDD

That's quite awesome. I almost always seem to look at my clock/watch at 9.11, morning and evening. I keep meaning to note down when I do it, to make sure it's not just me noticing that time specifically... ...Which it probably is.

I try to read all the posts (and manage to), but sometimes I feel that I don't have anything interesting to say. So I don't reply. That's just me, I'm afraid. (Can't keep a diary/livejournal either...) And poor Maliris can't keep the forum running on her own... But! Now it's alive again and (thanks to you people) will stay alive!

I've been invading forums lately due to my boredom, so I will do what I can. *grin* I'm highly opinionated, so I usually have *something* to say about a topic.

In my case, I find it rather difficult to start topics, but I usually try to talk about anything I have an opinion about.
Also, you realise the 28 thing will become self-fulfilling when you reach 28 Karma.

Though I have my lazy moments when I can't be bothered to reply. Gurm. I wonder if 28 is a magic number, *besides* being the day of Mr Wooding's birth? Would be interesting.

Okay... 28 is a mythical number. xD en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_%28number%29And you know what´s really creepy?! This: The postal code of the province of Madrid, in Spain. Chris moved there at the end of September. That´s too much for me. XD

Yeah, I try to make topics, but usually figure no one wants to read my boring stuff...
