I have a bit of a bizarre thing about numbers, too, though I don't know where most of it stems from... I love 8. It's round, and I like writing them, and depending on your penmanship, it can look rather like an eternity symbol that happens to be vertical, or otherwise *incredibly* round, both of which make me very happy. I keep volumes at numbers that generally have a 0, 2, 5, or 8 in them (10, 12, 15, 18, 20, and so on) when watching tv or listening to the car radio... as for age, any age that has a 5, 10, or 8 in it tends to make me happy. ::shrugs::

Also... Happy belated birthday to you! <3
