> I do the volume thing too. I like numbers in increments of eleven. Or if not that it needs to be an even number like 28. I suppose that means my volume my be louder than yours at times. Not that I'm keeping score. =)
I've got a thing about numbers in general. I just got done taking a year's worth of math classes, and let me tell you -- it was either heaven or hell for my OCD fixation on numbers! I couldn't drive down the freeway without some weird number/graphing things going through my pathetic little mind! It was truly a time, and what a time it was...
There's actually a theory out there that some cases of early-onset anorexia nervosa might be related to the number fixation sometimes seen in autistic spectrum disorders. That some young girls express undiagnosed autistic spectrum disorders through an obsessive interest in calorie counting. Interesting idea...
