Oh, and Matt, I'll totally send him East. Friends don't owe friends finder's fees. Just don't gloat about how fantastic he is in the sack. That's all I ask.

Have you met me?

Seriously though, sounds like you should have a fun evening regardless. Just remember, even if he asked you out with nothing more than friendly intent, that doesn't mean things have to stay that way if you play your cards right.

I would never call you a loser, sarameg!

13 more mintes and I'm gonna escape. Screw not having finished all the end-of-month crap. It's not going anywhere.

I am going to stop mentally punishing myself for being a loser until such a time as when the funk and I go separate ways.

I've been waiting for that for about 20 years.

shrift, are you conscious enough to beta something? (Or will slash make you feel better?)

I've been waiting for that for about 20 years.

Believe me, I hear you. I just try to give myself a free pass when I'm sick, because if I don't, I'll end up sobbing at my desk. I'm out of Kleenex. It'd get ugly real quick.

Timelies all!

Soon I shall change into dressier clothes as tonight is the First Seder, and we are going to my MIL's house for dinner.

shrift, are you conscious enough to beta something? (Or will slash make you feel better?)

Sure. I'm about to leave the office, but I'll be back online as soon as I get home if you'll still be around in 45 minutes.

I will probably post by then, since I have rehearsal tonight, but don't worry about it. I sent it to you just so you can have it pre-delivered for your convenience.

Go home! Feel better!

Maybe I should stay away from the internet tests....

I have always been fairly bad at remembering faces. So I went to faceblind.org:

Everyone sometimes has trouble recognizing faces, and it is even more common for people to have trouble remembering other people's names. Prosopagnosia is much more severe than these everyday problems that everyone experiences. Prosopagnosics often have difficulty recognizing people that they have encountered many times. In extreme cases, prosopagnosics have trouble recognizing even those people that they spend the most time with such as their spouses and their children.

One of the telltale signs of prosopagnosia is great reliance on non-facial information such as hair, gait, clothing, voice, and other information. Prosopagnosics also sometimes have difficulty imagining the facial appearance of acquaintances. One of the most common complaints of prosopagnosics is that they have trouble following the plot of television shows and movies, because they cannot keep track of the identity of the characters.

Huh. The previous paragraph somewhat applies to me....

I went here and took the "Famous Faces Test"

If we exclude the ones you were unfamiliar with, you got 48% correct.

On our previous version of this test, the average person with normal face recognition was able to recognize about 85% of the faces they were familiar with. If you missed more than half of the faces you were familiar with, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.
