So I was writing some stuff down (actually making a list of the meals I'm going to make this week so we could go grocery shopping - because I'm a dork) and there were some numbers involved (5 green peppers, 12 green onions, 1 tomato against my better judgement) and I was reminded of how much I don't like the number 5. I mean, I have nothing against it's numerical value. Five is a good number if we're talking about amounts, age, inches (actually, it's not so good if we're talking about inches is it ladies? Kidding. 5 is a perfectly respectable measurement. Tee hee) but visually, it sucks. It's snide. Seriously. Have a look at the number 5 sometime. Like now.
5
I looks like it's sneering at you! Aggressively. It's got that sort of flat top which makes it look scowly and then it has that angry sort of posture. It seems so derisive. Like it's looking at you and seeing nothing worth it's time. Bastard number. I'll kick its ass! Look at me with derision will it!? Bah! 1234567890. See. It's the only one. Although I can see how 7 could be a bit of a bitch if it wanted to. And perhaps 9 if you caught it on a bad day. But 5. It's bad to the bone.
