I find I haven't been using it so much lately, but in any case I do find 1, 3, 7 and 11 being used though 3 has misplaced 11 alot lately.

Alot of business film wise has occured and hasn't left much room for personal occurances, though now that I'm home it's probably going to change back around and 11 will misplace 3. Such is life. Hi.

I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to pick seven just because it's seven. That's my job.

Sorry, but that was my answer, and I'm sticking to it, Mr. Seven.
