I prefer small even numbers like 4 and 6. Odd numbers of things annoy me. Yes, that is OCD.

my fascination with the number 9 goes way way back.
the number nine is a major component of many numerical systems. if you take any part of the number 9 and its remainder, you have a multiple of the number 9, regardless of order: 7:2, 2:7, 4:5, etc. also if you add the digits of any multiple of the number 9, you will get 9. then, if you take the number nine and think of it as 3 and 6, but also 3 sixes, 3 sixes (666) add up to 18, which is the number 9 in disguise. anyway, the fun with the number 9 goes on and on.
as for other numbers, i like prime numbers. if i set my alarm to a minute number that isn't prime, i'll think about its prime derivatives until i am truly awake. thus, my alarm clock is always set to something like 05:07 or 05:11.
don't worry. you aren't the only one that thinks that i am nuts. my wife thinks i am completely off my rocker. toys in the attic, you might say.
