I've just completed a package for generating numbers from the paraNormal 
distribution. This is the distribution of numbers that you are currently 
thinking of.

Sample usage:

  > rParaNorm(1)
   [1] 3

  - which is what I was thinking of when I pressed 'Return'.

  for generating multiple numbers, a confidence measure is returned that 
is a function of your uncertainty in your future choices:

  [here I'm thinking of 5, then 7, but then I'm not sure]

  > rParaNorm(4)
   [1] 5 7 1 5
   Confidences: [1] 100% 98% 2% 1%

  Code for the quantiles of this distribution can easily be derived, but 
it is worth noting that the density is a function of the person running 
the code.
