NERDY NUMBERS!!

Posted on by

I have a “haven’t-met-yet” friend in town who I’ ve recently discovered is a fantastic budding blogger…

Today is in honor of her [insert round of applause here] because… well, I’m totally stealing her idea:

We’re playing the Nerdy Numbers game. It’s easy. Just use numbers to celebrate the nerd in you.

Like this:

  • 3 computer screens. Sometimes I have 3 screens going at once in my office.
  • 6 dollars and 30 cents. That’s how much my favorite mechanical pencil costs.
  • 3 of my favorite mechanical pencils. I have 3 of them. 1) the original that I found 5 years ago, scratched and dirtied on the asphalt after having been run over in the road on a side street that goes to the beach. 2) the other 1 I bought about 3 years ago (I bought 2. Lost 1). 3) the other other 1 that I bought recently after I realized I lost 1 of the 2 I bought.

Speaking of that lost pencil…

  • ZERO episodes left in Lost. Zero. Not happy about that at all.

Ok, your turn! Give me your nerdy numbers.

1) I MUST sleep with socks on my feet.
2) I constantly have some type of music going in my head, but am often unaware of it.
3) If I had my way, I’d always use the THIRD stall in public restrooms.
4) Don’t make me drink that last sip in the glass – it grosses me out. Well, unless it’s a mixed drink. (What!? Dang. I’m just bein’ honest around here. yeah uh huh)

Name four of your quirkiest quirks.

one of you (and, no, i’m not naming any names, because this could be embarrassing for THAT PERSON) has two favorite numbers. two.

who does something like that? (that was a rhetorical question because i’m not naming any names, remember?)

anyway… if i had to have a favorite number, it would be four. and for the life of me i can’t think of any better reason than that it reminds me of the color blue, which is my favorite color.

how numbers and colors get paired up in my head, i don’t know.

but (i’m discovering this as i type) five is green… two is read. one is white. ten is black. seven is yellow. eight is orange. what about six and nine? i don’t know!!! i don’t know!!!!!!

so. i started writing this post with the intention of asking you if you had a favorite number.

but, the more i type, the more i think i should ask if any of you link numbers with colors.

[hello? is there any body out there?]
