I needed to turn off power to the living room, no breakers seemed to work. So, I shut them all off one by one until the power shut off.

Turns out, I have to kill two breakers to kill living room power. Is this normal (I doubt it)? Easiest way to track this down?

I left one of them off.

No gfi, they both seem to power just the living room. I left one off and can't find anything not working.

This honestly sounds like a staple went through two hots somewhere in the wall. Or someone installed a Y at the breaker panel to split the load. This is a fire hazard and you need to call an electrician.
