"Twenty - fucking - Three!" -suicide blonde, The Number 23

You all did it!!! You made my dreams (well.. this one..) come true! Damn, i guess i should have made the goal a little higher!!!

Well, here i am, little 22 year old me, with 23 followers and 29 days until my birthday (the 27th)... shit.

It hadn't donned on me until i looked at the number of followers i had that i remembered The Enigma of 23... oOoOoOoOo!!!

If you haven't seen the Jim Carrey movie... see it. It's kinda crazy, but it's entertaining & it's beautifully done.

i'm warning you though... you won't be able to help it.. you WILL start adding up EVERYTHING... (my sister & i did it in the car on the way back from the theatre... it's kiiiinda creepy!)

the suicide blonde.

23 is said to be found in many places. numbers adding up to 23, letters being added up by their alphabetical position adding up to 23, historical events coming out to 23 (Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times) even down to the fact that humans have 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent.

"be sure that your sin will find you out." -Numbers 32:23

(bible verse selectfully edited to prove my point, but then again, which verse isn't...?)

admittedly, i have realized that the number usually comes up when ones is looking for it. striving to find that 23 & receive a rush of belief...

For words, you write out the alphabet & assign their position numbers, (a=1, b=2, c=3, w=23!), then apply that against the letters in your word (S=19, a=1, r=18, a=1) and add them together (19+1+18+1=39). Now... if it comes to 23 then & there, you'll probably stop.. but.. if it doesn't, you'll subconsciously tell yourself that you have to keep working it....

my last name comes to 62. 39 & 62 = 101 so, from there, i could go into some craziness (which is shown in the movie... discrediting the theory a bit...) where i start counting up the letters in my name (11) & trying to work with that, but then you get into some nutso bullshit like

"there are 11 letters in my name, my name adds up to 101, 101+11 is 112, 11 times 2 is 22, i'm the first born, 22+1 is 23! OMG I'M CURSED!!!"

that's crap... if you can't get there on simple math... just accept that the system isn't perfect...

but.. what DID happen... is that i went the subtraction route.

drum roll...

62-39=23

jinkeys! maybe i AM cursed!

well.. i'm definitely blessed to have 23 followers!!!

&... as promised... a giveaway will be announced shortly (i just have to get organized!)

Thanks for reading everyone, spread the word, tell your peeps, tell your friends, tell your enemies, i don't care, just spread the LUV*
