Weird Facts About Me

I'm compiling a list of weird facts about myself--Some you may consider unusual, some you may be close to true about yourself as well.  They're mostly trivial, but you be the judge.

- I haven't had a bedroom on the ground floor since I was 10.  Also, my bedroom has always been on the 2nd story since then as well (so no 3rd stories or higher).
My family moved when I was 10 years old, and my bedroom was on the 2nd floor.  After I moved out, I've lived in three different apartments, all of which were 2nd story units.  My apartment numbers have been C205, E203, and 823.  I'd very much like my next place to be on the ground floor.  Ever since I was 10 and I've wanted to get home and crash on my bed, I have to go up a flight of stairs first.
I moved in 2024, and I now have a bedroom on the 3rd floor!  Ah, wrong way!  But our building has an elevator so I don't have to take the stairs to get home if I don't want to.

- Every time I have moved, I have moved further North
I have now moved four times in my life, and each time I did, my place of residence was further north than the last one.  The crazy thing is a couple of those times, they were barely further north.  When I moved at age 10, we moved 3 blocks north (but further east as well).  When I moved in 2017, we moved 2 blocks north.  
Again, we moved in 2024, and for the first time, I did not move North.  I moved South.  I went from Bothell to Woodinville, so not a ton south, but it counts.

- All of my old schools (and my childhood home) have been demolished and rebuilt with something bigger
Sign of the times, I guess.  Before I even turned 30, I could say all of the schools I went to, my elementary school, my junior high school, and my high school, were all demolished and replaced with something bigger.  To add insult to injury, my childhood home that I lived in until I was 10 was demolished and replaced with a much larger home.

- I've left the Pacific Time Zone just once in my life
Only once in my life have I ever had to change the time on my watch because I was in a different time zone, and that was when Amanda and I flew to Hawaii.  I've been to Vegas, many areas of California and Oregon, and even Idaho, but that still is the only time I've ever left the Pacific Time Zone.  I'd like to change that soon. 
In August 2022, I took a trip to Orlando, Florida, so it marked the second time I had left the Pacific time zone.

- Both my grandfathers are named John, and they both are WWII veterans, and both married a  woman with a two-syllable name that ends in "Y".  
This might be a bit of a stretch, as John is a pretty common first name, and a lot of the male population born in the 1910s or 1920s fought in World War II.  But then they married a woman with a first name with two syllables that ends in Y: Shirley and Betty.  

- My paternal grandparents have the same birthday
How many couples do you know that share the same birthday?  I'd guess zero.  My dad's parents share the same birthday, two years apart.  I've always thought that is pretty cool.

- My birthday and my sister's birthday use the exact same numerals.
When written out numerically, my birthday is 117 (January 17th).  When my sister's birthday is written out numerically, it is ALSO 117 (November 7th).  If you don't count zeros, our birthdays are the same when written out numerically.  I realized this only a few years ago, and it sure blew my mind.
