the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Did everyone miss Blair ? Because I did, too. Also Jerry Seinfeld, but that was because the picture seemed distorted, and/or gave bloaty-face effect.

Allyson--you won't know until you actually, you know, go out with the dude. It may be a polite thank you meal. He may want to date you. He may want to be friends. He may have no idea what he wants. Every time you find yourself obsessing and talking yourself down (which if your dating record is anything like mine, will be apporximately every 10 seconds), just remember that you have no idea what he is thinking and every molecule of worry you spend on it won't change a thing. Get out of your head, girl, and just go and eat.

Robin is wise (as usual). Just enjoy yourself, Allyson! (Please note: I am well aware that this is easier said than done. But Robin's right anyway.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I also missed Blair.

I got them all but Blair and Rowan Atkinson.

Plei, did you make a guess for either of them?

Nope!

I don't think they were good pictures of either of 'em.

Jesse, did you try the unfamiliar faces one, yet?

Yeah, I sucked on that one -- 66% overall or something. Definitely below average.

What is even happening?

GC, I don't know how I managed to pull Rowan Atkinson's name out of my arse. I know who he is mostly because everyone but me seems to know who he is. I can't recall having seen him in anything.

I re-took the unfamiliar faces test and got a much better score:

Out of 20 target faces (ones you studied in the first part of this test), you correctly identified 20.
Out of 30 nontarget faces (ones that didn't study in the first part of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 27 of them.
Overall, you got 94% correctThe average person with normal face recognition scores about 85% on this test. If you scored less than 75% on this test, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I didn't even try to guess the two I missed -- the first, I honestly never ever would have gotten because the only place he's ever visually registered for me is on The Daily Show, and even then really only as "Clenched-looking guy maundering on about Iraq who isn't Bush". I'm completely embarrassed about the second, because I admire him enormously and I was just watching one of my favorite movies of his last week. What the hell, brain? You recognized hairless bloaty-faced Seinfeld and not this man whose works you revere?

On the old-new faces test, I got somewhere in the eighties, I think one percentage point below whatever the norm is. So why am I so horrid at face-recognition in real life?
