I have two bathroom lights, a regular incandescent ceiling light, and a single 4' fluorescent over the sink. When I flip on the wall switch, the incandescent one goes on, but the fluorescent one usually doesn't. But if I reach up and touch it, it goes on. Sometimes, I don't actually even have to touch it -- I can feel a little buzz and it goes on before I make contact with it.

Why is this? Remember, to me, electricity and magic are the same thing... small words, short sentences required.
