I don't think so, unless you were obsessed with it. Like you always wanted to talk about it, and you memorized line-ups for different regions, and you were always thinking about what was coming on the different channels or that sort of thing. Having a special interest is more than just having a good memory for certain things- you have to be obsessed with it. Like for instance, I have a good memory for numbers, so I have my library card and my calling card numbers memorized, but they're not related to any special interest. When I was in the hospital as a kid, I actually had the TV schedule memorized as well, but that was because I had nothing to do there but watch TV.
Do you have any interests you are absolutely obsessed with?
well I guess I could be obsessed with making people laugh? I've been sort of a clown since maybe 4th grade, though not around my family.
from another thread of mine:
the special interest thing. I can't imagine what my special interests were as a child. My life doesn't seem to have been characterized by that. now maybe. I used to inundate my friends with emails about baltimore (city in MD whose metro area I grew up in), urbanist stuff. ive layed off now. perhaps even restaurants. like finding the best ones.
