Me, too, ita! I thought I was the only one.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, I've heard Oliver Sacks talk about it before, and there was a TAL or Radio LabI show about a couple, and the guy was face blind, and it was kind of wild.
The show is not thrilling, but I like Whatshisname. Where have I seen the woman who plays the FBI agent?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think she was the chick whose brain was on drugs, which means she was in one of those teen movies where there's a bet and a girl does from quirky to hottie, and everyone learns the real meaning of hormones! Yay!
Seriously, Scrappy, how do I make it go away? I hate arriving at the airport in case they're going to get all the way right up to me and I won't notice or something. My father used to meet me at the plane door, which was good, because he was alone, so I never had to think about it. But now, he's like normal, and stuff.
Yet...never actually happened.

Because books.
I freak out all the time that I can't call up faces perfectly in memory. But in person, it's never happened. Although NOW I AM SCARED IT WILL, THANKS.
Was Perception at all worth watching? I like Eric Whatshisname (well, maybe not that much, I guess) but I'm tired of the "socially maladjusted genius solves crimes" thing. Is it more than that? Is he worth it?

I have never made it go away, but when it happens I do say sternly to myself, "Dude, you're old and you have NEVER forgotten a face yet. Get over yourself."

I feel like she played someone crazy cakes on the most recent thing I've seen her in. I shall IMDB her.
Amy, it's not so good. But I'm still watching the second ep. I dunno.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto, and ditto. Although I would not say mine rises to "freak out." But I do wonder if I'll recognize people and I always do. Recognition, not recall!
ION, why oh why did they put a sick cat in Suits???

Hmm. Last thing I saw her as apparently, was as Shawn's girlfriend on Psych for several eps. I'm still trying to sort out what I'm seeing when I think of her as playing someone homicidally nuts. She must remind me of someone else? This is going to bug me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have actually failed to recognize people. Usually it's a context thing, like when a woman I only ever saw casually at D&D games turned up dressed to the nines at a Christmas party, and I didn't recognize her. She was unaccountably affronted.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I have walked past family members on the street, but that's me thinking really hard as opposed to face blindness.
