I think that I was a 2 on the numerology scale. I rejected it, though. I already had a hang-up with the number five. I was hoping it would have come out a five.

Of course, some people might get hang-ups with the numbers that they get on the numerology scale.

whats up with favorite numbers? arent all numbers just the same? (well sure the values are different but as far as having a favorite is concerned theyre all the same). please do enlighten me on why people have favorite numbers...


Actually, people prefer numbers that are in some way associated with themselves. I read about this in the New York Times this morning. There was an article about how people feel a special kinmanship towards people with same or similar names.

This also tends to be the case with numbers. People like numbers that correspond with the amount of letter in their names, that fall inside of their birthdays, etc.

Some people think that this is completely bogus, but I realized that this even proved true for me. I had always liked the number five in particular. I have five letters in my first name (Jaime), I was born in the fifth month, and I was born in 85.

My best friend always loved the number 6. Her name had six letter (Carrie), and she was born in 86. We have both had a special liking for these numbers since we were children.


I just realized...I was born in September, the 9th month. maybe subconsciously that has something to do with it. can't think of any more nines I am associated with though...

12 for me because it was the number I was first assigned on my first ever sports team back when I was maybe 6 or 7. I wore #12 for every sports team ever since. Very Happy

4, 8, 9, 14, 16.

All of these numbers remind me of something. I'd say 4 is my all time favorite number though.
