The boy I had a crush on in junior high was (is) 4 years, 5 months, and 12 days older than I. That means that today, he turns 41. Weird.
Am I the only one who gets dates stuck in her head that way?
(Happy birthday, Alex Will.)

Date: 2003-04-08 09:08 am (UTC)Wanna hear me rattle off every street address I lived at from first grade through college? No, probably not. It's not a very useful trick even at parties.
And if I were plopped down in the middle of base housing at Dyess AFB, Texas (assuming it still exists - most of the bases I lived on have been decommissioned), I bet I could walk the exact route my best friend and I used to take to get home from school, going out of our way to stroll "casually" past the house of John Best, who used to thump me over the head with his cello bow in 7th grade orchestra (leading me to believe that he reciprocated my massive crush on his bespectacled, geek-musician self...)

My first number in Philly was VI9-6440 (I wasn't aware of our numbers when I was younger than 6), and our number in Spain was 4288, which I memorized by chanting "four times two equals eight equals eight". Speaking of geeks.) And yeah, the streets of the navy base there are burned into my brain. I have NO sense of direction, but I could still draw an accurate map of our neighborhood, from Captain's Circle, to David Glasgow Farragut school, to the back yard we used to cut through so we could play tetherball before school.

Some math geek is going to figure out my SSN if I keep it up. ;-)
