Earlier in the year, I was completely freaked out after watching the pilot episode of the original Charlie’s Angels. You see I was able to remember every word in the episode. Now I don’t watch a lot of television, I am not a particular fan of Charlie’s Angels and I have never seen a rerun of the show since it went off the air in 1981. I watched the second episode, the third episode and stopped in the sixth episode. I knew all the words! Freaky, right? So I called my parents to see if I had a weird obsession with the show. I didn’t. Or if something traumatic happened to me during this time. The answer was no. I called the network to find out how often the season 1 episodes ran way back when and then I got tested.
I am suffering from eidetic memory. It’s commonly called photographic memory but it refers to an ability to recall images, sounds, smells and touches with wicked precision. Personally, I am not very good at recalling images BUT as many of you know I can remember a conversation verbatim. I can also remember smells like a blue tick hound.
After going through a battery of tests these Ph.D. types informed me that I am a true rarity. I didn’t tell them this but the rest of my family is equally freaky. My cousin can take one look at anything no matter how complex and draw it from memory. They wanted me to take more tests – indefinitely. I declined because my reason for seeking help in the first place was to answer a question: how is it that I know the dialogue of a television show I saw one time as a kid. Now I know why.
