No it's 3 for the recent one and the other one
1. There was a tsunami warning in my area on Saturday night which disrupted a slumber party at a friend's house I was at and when we evacuated to high ground I ran into the three guys who are currently living in the house I'm getting that vintage shoplight from
2. There was a crescent moon that night
3. Even before we were told why we had to leave I figured it was a tsunami warning...it happens when you live by the ocean...

@ Aaron, is Number 3 a lie? :P

1. I'm currently working on two Common Tasks (they're city mandated essays/reports that all students taking the same class must complete at the same time too, usually in two class periods).
2. World History 1 is my only honors class and it's super hard.
3. The lamp in my preheat shoplite shattered when i flicked the switch! The starter when "ping ping" then the ballast buzzed really loud abnormally, the lamp flashed all crazy tones of blue, purple, and orange until the ends got really black and the you heard this big "POOF" sound with phosphor powder floating through the air and glass everywhere! I'm not really sure what happened but the light no longer works. :'(

Hopefully not 1 for Mike, but if so maybe that dead starter was the one warning sign?
I'm guessing 3 for Aaron...
Nope there really was a major tsunami warning in my area, luckily nothing happened. It was really 2.
The person who used to own the house I'm getting that vintage shoplight from is my US History teacher
I broke a CFL today by accident.
I'm listening to "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne as I type this..

Yes, thankfully the shoplite is fine. :D I'd be devistated if it wasn't, though i wouldn't be surprised if it decides to quit, given its age...

#1 for you?...

No it's 2...
During that tsunami warning someone I know asked me "still want to run an excavator now?"
The weather here was rainy this morning, now it's partly cloudy.

I need a 3 for that last post, but I'll just start over...
I'll likely not be getting that vintage shoplight soon since the (I think last) tenants have moved out of that house and it wil be demolished tomorrow... >:(
I spent part of my childhood on this boat: http://sewardcitynews.com/2012/07/vessel-sinks-overnight/ (sorry I can't figure out how to make it a link so you'll have to just copy and paste it into your address bar)
When I learned of the above soggy misfortune I was incredibly saddened...
