I was a Teenage Rainbow Magnet
The "Something Weird I Just Noticed" thread jogged a memory: every 7th birthday I see a rainbow.
It all started on my 7th birthday (surprisingly) when my family and I were driving through Sweden; it had been raining and we all saw 4 rainbows(!) linked together, a couple more faded than the others.
I turned 14 in upstate Illinois, the day after a really bad storm (there's another, more embarrassing anecdote here, involving me mistaking a Storm Watch for a Storm Warning and spending the night huddled in the basement, sobbing in pathetic terror), after waking I stepped out onto the porch with my coffee and - voila - a rainbow.
My 21st was spent in something of a haze at Reading Festival -- if anyone remembers the Stone Roses' fateful (and horrendous) last gig they might also remember the rainbow at twilight.
It's odd because I was a summer baby, and you tend to get rainbows in Spring or Autumn, plus I tend not to see them otherwise.
28th coming up this year, in fact (booooo!) so give me a prod in August and I shall keep an eye out.
