What does this mean?

I had to start wrapping Christmas presents tonight. So, I went out and found this way cool — in a tacky, retro sorta way — wrapping paper that looks like the ScotchTape™, tartan plaid background for their logo. (I’m a graphic designer, this is the crap that fascinates me.) Anyway, point is, I just caught myself trying to match up the perfect little pattern grids and lines of the plaid as I folded the paper around the gifts. I was even lining up the 45s at the short ends! How anal is that?

I am a Gemini! This is not something I’m supposed to do. I admit that I’ve heard tell of people who routinely obsess over this very thing. But I have never been one of them!

Immediately I am asking myself what this means. So I’ll as you instead. How obsessive a gift wrapper are you? and what does this mean?
