I could be a Super Hero!

Let me preface this by saying that I use a paper calendar, an online organizer called Cozi, and Post-Its and I still forget tons things and Appointments. Ever since I had kids my brain turned to mush!! (FYI-Kids eat brain cells, and all your candy if you leave the pantry door open!) BUT!!! I have this strange ability to remember and recall faces of people regardless of time, INCLUDING aging!

For example... I once met this guy at a Boy Scout Event (Yes, I was a Boy Scout) and I was convinced we had met before, after thirty minutes of comparing friends, and even family we figured out we were in Kindgarten together but our paths had not crossed for 11 years.

Second example, I met this family at dinner at a friends house. I asked them where we had met before because I knew I had met them before...The parents passed it off because they were sure they had not met my family... After two hours it hit me like a ton of bricks! I cared for their now 4 year old daughter three years ago at a Cdc... she was nine months old when I met her!

So fast forward tonight... I'm watching Season Two, disc six, Episode 19 of Grey's Anatomy and I instantly guess that one of the actors playing in this episode looks like someone. She's not very well known so it took me about ten minutes to figure out she was on A League of Their Own in 1992... Looked up...I'm right!SOO... I'm convinced I have a gift, and now I need someone to pay me for it!!

Some company out there must have a use for my insane ability to recall the human faces I've seen... I could work for the CIA... sit in a room memorizing faces of known terriorists or Most Wanted peps... Then they could fly me first class around the globe with the hopes that I'll just so happen to run into a few of these individuals! I'll have to fly first class and only stay in five star hotels, I wouldn't want to stick out you see. ;)

Well on second thought, this whole CIA 300k a year job probably wont work out...I'd forget I'd have a job, but... I'd be able to recognize the driver of my company limo in 7-11!

Screw the CIA, I make milk... I AM a Super Hero!!

Dude I do that ALL the time with faces... especially random actors from the 80's and 90's who have come back for bit parts in movies or tv LOL. Drives Curtis crazy because I obsess about it until I find out their name :p
