Heheh...Cool! You were born on New Year's Eve!
You know what, now that I think about it, I'm starting to get REALLY scared at how closely intertwined my life is to the Mario universe.
1) Characters: I have a close resemblence to Peach, my dad reminds me of Luigi, and a good friend of mine, Daisy. Also, my brother kind of reminds me of Bowser (or DK). My cousin has a friend that looks like Mario. (Never seen him, though.)
2) Places: I used to/now live near several places with similar names to places in the Mushroom World.
An area/town/river/whatever called Nimbus --Nimbus Land
A city called Roseville --Rose Town
A street Shooting Star Lane --Shooting Star Summit
A subdivision North Haven (kinda like North Star) --Star Haven. (Okay, that one's stretching it a bit.)
3) My birthday/SMB thing mentioned above.
Freaky coincidences, no? @_@
