Let me first say, I know I'm a nerd. I know I am the Google Queen in my circle of friends and family, and my little head is always full of (mostly) useless facts and random information. However, I did not grow up thinking this was abnormal! It is only recently that I have discovered... I'm weird.
Hubby and I were talking the other day, as he was ordering some new checks for us online, and we realized, much to both our surprise, that I could rattle off all the numbers he needed to order the checks from memory. The credit card number needed to order them, including the security code on the back and expiration date, the account number for our bank, and here was the shocker, the routing number for the bottom of the checks! A conversation then followed where Hubby realized I knew both our social security numbers, driver license numbers, his badge number and the license plate to his patrol car, the plate number of my car, my mom's driver license number, random phone numbers for us and family members, etc. I was unaware this was not normal. I thought these were things everyone knew.
From as far back as I can remember (and apparently before then, even), I've always enjoyed knowing things. I like memorizing things, looking things up, and will randomly quiz myself on details to see if my brain subconsciously remembers things I've read or seen. I'm this way with numbers, spelling, my surroundings, and any other time I feel like it. Everyone doesn't do this? Hm...
