1. Favorite numbers
-What is your favorite number and why?
-has it always been the same?
-Why did you pick this number?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My favorite number is 10, because it is clear. I don't like 2 or 9 because I feel unstable.
The reason why I feel 10 is stable is difficult to explain. May be the shape of it is important. 10 is looks like a square. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 is looks like a rectangle. For me it is unballanced. It is same as kanji. I like 善. It means good but I like it not the meaning. It is line symmetly, and also looks like a square. Other than 10, I like 4. I know it is not good number, but I like it for its sharp shape. I wrote I like a stable and square shape, but I also like sharp shape. For example, 導 means guide and is not stable but it has cool flowing lines at the middle part of it. I want to write that kind of words by using a writing brush. So I like two things. One is stability, the other is flowing line.
When I was a child, I liked 7.
The reason why I like it is it has good meaning. It is called ''lucky Seven''. And I didn't like the number 4 for its meaning. Other than these numbers, I liked 6 and 8. I was a base ball player. And my position was a shortstop and a center fielder. These possitions are described as 6 and 8 in number. So I liked these numbers. At that time, I focused on its meaning.
In the future, my favorite number might be changed. I might focus on its meanings, not the shape. Or I might focus on another thing.
I think of image of numbers. I have color images in numbers. 1 is yellow, 2 is blue, 3 is green, 4 is orange, 5 is blue, 6 is blue, 7 is pink, 8 is yellow, 9 is black. I don't know why I have these images. Also in alphabet and musical sounds, I have kind of same color images. But I don't have color images in Roman numerals. They are also numbers and shows same meaning, different in shape, but I don't feel same thing from it. If it is not only me, it is interesting. For me, I use Roman numerals when I play music. Roman numerals are used in musical theory. So I have musical impressions in it. Ⅰis CM7, Ⅱis Dm7, Ⅲis Em7, Ⅳis FM7, Ⅴis G7, Ⅵis Am7, Ⅶis Bm7(-5). These are musical chords, so it doesn't have more than 7, so I don't have any images in Ⅷ Ⅸ Ⅹ. I want to know how about ohter people, and how we create such images.
