TMI

So I have been tagged. I am going to break the chain and not tag anyone else because the only person who ever even thinks about reading this is probably the very same person who tagged me. If I am wrong, however, feel free to remind me that you read my blog by replying to this post with your answers.
And now here are “7 random things about me”

1. I have a photographic memory. I know where things are because I can picture where I saw them even if all I did was walk through a room once. I can only find something I wish to reference in a book if you hand me the same version that I originally read because I will know that the sentence I am looking for is on the right hand page, ¾ of the way down in the middle of the second to last paragraph.

2. When I brush my teeth, the last step before I put my toothbrush back in its holder is to tap it on the side of the sink 3 times. Not twice and not 4 times. I always do this.

3. I can’t stand the idea of being pregnant. I could go into detail about all of the things related to pregnancy that frighten, repulse and offend me but I won’t. This however, does not in any way diminish my intense desire to be a mother; ideally a stay at home mother even. My little sister volunteered to be a surrogate for me so that my husband and I could have our own biological children but after researching that option we have decided to simply adopt children. Apparently, “social surrogacy” (using a surrogate when you are physically capable of bearing your own children) is a really hot button issue with people.

4. I am a born and bred Treky (as in Star Trek Fan.)

5. I have an “over-disclosure” problem (see #3) and I tend to tell strangers intensely personal things. This bothers my very private husband a great deal.

6. I plan out everything. Usually in spreadsheets. However, my filing system consists of me putting things that seem worth saving in a box. The end. That is the whole system. I figure this keeps them roughly in chronological order and therefore, to find something all I have to do is figure out when I last saw it. This system is not limited to papers and my boxes of “filing” often include chap-stick, pocket mirrors, umbrellas, key-chains, pictures (sometimes in frames), jewelry, foam stress balls and any number of other such things. This habit also exasperates my husband.

7. I have almost unhealthy interest in both King Henry VIII (or more accurately his reign and all the subjects and people that encompasses) and the holocaust (but not any other aspect of WWII.) Neither of these historical obsessions is new. They both date back to sometime around the 4th grade.
