I Know That Number From Somewhere...

Since I got cellphone #13, I decided that I would be very careful to save *every* number that I ever dialed or call that I received. It didn't matter if I only called the plumber 2x a year, I wanted his number on hand.

But this strategy to work, you have to know what the number is--when you dial take out from Leona's, you have to remember that indeed, that is Leona's number. Etc.

And when I kept seeing 681-0544, I was thinking: I know that number. Who is that? It was so familiar, but I just couldn't possibly recall whose it was.

Why? Because it was my own. It was my home phone number. Which I hadn't really used in, like, two months?

I suppose that is a comment on my life now: I've had the same mobile number since 2002, despite something like 10 phones and 5 companies. I've only moved once in the past 5 years, put have had four "home" phone numbers. None of which I can remember.
