La Di Da

So, I was just looking at this family photo and realized that both of my in- laws have the same name... but one in the male and one in the female version of that name. What's interesting is that yesterday I was reading an article on MSN that said that studies have shown that people will even go so far as to be attracted to people with names that resemble theirs or initials that are the same as the person they are attracted to... I know it seems a little far fetched, but as they say..."studies have shown..."
Well, this is not the case for my brother and sister who are married. Christopher married his wife name Michele(I meant to only put one "l" there) and Andrea married Michael. Now, I'm going to take this a little further- just for the fun of it. I met this man, a very nice man, who claims to be a prophet of God. While speaking with this man, he advised me that I would be meeting the man I was going to marry very soon(gold to my ears!), and that God was preparing him for me. Well, as anyone would, I asked my new prophet friend... "Did God give you a name?" After taking a moment to pray, he said, yes- his name is Mike... well, now I am charged to wonder if maybe people in my family are attracted to "Mich...", this being for the obvious reason that we were raised obsessed with, "Highway to Heaven" and "Little House on the Prairie"- On a final note, I can then only wonder what my brother Brian's wife will be... Michaella. Well, if you're bored today- maybe this will give you something to occupy your time with. In the meanwhile, here's a few things about me.
10. I go back east about 3 times a year- and enjoy spending more of my time in NEW JERSEY than in NY.
09. As a child, I would crawl into any nook I found and take a nap- my family would have to search high and low to find me, as a child I slept like a log that has been placed in a sound proof box! Some things don't change.
08. Not to brag... but I am an expert at Ms. PacMan and have met few people that can hold a flame to my skills(if I'm going to brag, I might as sound really cocky!). At one of the bars I hang out at occasionally, I play unsuspecting victims for rounds of drinks- loser buying for the other person's group of friends.
07. I own the actual arcade, Ms. PacMan, my uncle used to fix arcade games and gave us Ms. PacMan when I was really young.
06. I used to run cross country in high school and be half way decent- however, I can't sprint to save my life... as my hs softball coach used to say, "Olliebur, detach the anchor from your Ass!"
05. In 7th grade, I gut punched a 6th grader who called my mom a B*^ch. I got detention, but my parents were so proud of me for sticking up for the family, they bought me a cake =)
04. My friend who's middle name is Ashley, is going to go on a bay cruise this weekend with me! She promised she'd take me on one and pay for it when we went to a baseball game together- she's the best!
03. In college, I decided to pay a visit to a friend of mine late at night... turned out, when I left... the gate was left open and her family dog got out and ran away.
02. Also, in college, I had a friend with the same name- which is rare, how many olliebur's do you know. But anyway, I would blame things on her if my name was on the evidence!!! I hope she knew I was always joking.
01. Writing these 10 things took me 36 minutes.
