    11:58- 2 minutes to midnight
    Whenever i am awake at this time i always notice it, then silently sing the song.

    4:44
    Everytime i see this time, i think of the hostages in Iran in 1977 were held for 444 days.

    Do you ever notice certain times during the day and correlate it with something?

    Do you prefer to use am/pm or 24hr time?

    i prefer 24hr time and would prefer it even more if it were one universal standard time, without time zones. i see no logical reason to demand the time on a clock and the position of the sun in moon be syncronized in any way. other then a day on the clock coming out as near as equal to the actual duration of a day/night cycle.

    as for numbers. i only look at when they are part of a year i have lived and how i experienced living that particular year or decade.

    I seem to randomly check the time and see it's 9:11 a lot.

    3:13 pops up a lot too, which is my 'worst' friend's birthday.

    I also see the first 3 digits of my grandpa's old cell phone number...

    Strange how these things happen. Now that I think about it, I don't really have any 'good' number combinations that I think of.

    i don't really have a preference between am/pm or 24 hr. am/pm is more common, so that's what i'm used to, but there's really no difference either way. other than the fact that am/pm has the potential for me to set my alarm to go off 12 hours too late.

    There's plenty of good reasons to use a 24 hour clock system, but the fact that it is the only system in which it is possible for the time to be 13:37 makes it the best system.

    4:20 correlate it with smoking pot although I rarely smoke at that time.

    I find 11:11 fascinating, I don't correlate it with anything specifically but it does seem mysterious somehow when I notice it.

    I'm used to am/pm and fine with that but I'd probably prefer a 24 hr. Clock.

    I prefer to use am/pm, but will will use either.

    I don't really attribute any kind of memory to a particular time, usually it's a feeling: 'Shit, I'm late!!!'
