Numbers

34 tomorrow and it got me thinking... what's in a number?

2.    Times I've been to University
2.    Cars I've owned
16.  The age I lost my virginity
15.  The age I had my first kiss
10.  The age we moved country and the first time I learnt to reinvent myself

17.  Apartments I've lived in since leaving University

5.    True friends in my life (and that's a pretty great number to have)
2.    Stalkers I've encountered in my lifetime
4.    Jobs I had to pay my way through University the first time
2.    Jobs I had to pay my way through University the second time
13.  My lucky number
3.    Times I've fallen hopelessly and helplessly in love
6.    The number of men that have told me they were in love with me
0.    The number who actually were
27.  My age the one and only time I've crowd surfed
2.    Times I've run for the hills because I suspected someone I was dating was close to proposing
1.    Valentines cards I've received when I've not been dating

5.    The number of times someone has attempted to mug/sexually assault me
0.    The number of times they were successful
3.    Protests I've actively been involved in
14.  Age I got my first job
12.  My 'magic' number
2.    Names I couldn't remember on the previous answer
3.    Times I've been a bridesmaid
3.    People who know my entire life (and quite possibly the real me)
30.  The age, age started mattering
6.    The number of kids I used to want to have
2.    Fist fights I've been in
97.  Best year of my life so far
98.  The year I learnt how complicated life truly can be

So what's in a number?  Quite a lot really.
