Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The times I haven't recognised people, I've actually managed to excuse myself, that's the thing. I have reasonably few cases of me kicking myself and going "Damn! You really should have known him!"

Well, there was cousin Alex at that wedding, but they stopped us before it was not lega...it was always gonna be legal--they stopped before it was gonna be scarifying.

Ha! Just think. I could have been one of the descriptors at a family wedding.

Remember the New York incest wedding? OMG, great buffet, right? There should always be all you can eat plantain!

That happened to me freshman year at college. I rounded the corner in the campus convenience store and, ran into this guy, and I stood there with my mouth hanging open, because I 100% knew I knew him, but I could not make my brain get there. He was a guy I knew from high school - not a close friend, obvs. He seemed pretty annoyed when he said, "it's Paul. From A.I." Not my most graceful moment ever. We chatted a bit, but I think he remained kind of offendedish. Sorry, Paul.

ETA: It's happened with people I've met briefly, too, but Paul was totally a context thing. If I'd seen him at home, I wouldn't have choked like that.
