The status is NOT quo.

Meara, I only got 69% on the facial recognition test, but I know I suck at recognizing faces (AND remembering names). It's very embarrassing. I hate my memory issues because people think I don't care, when the truth is I just have some screwed up neurological wiring.

Erin, the English teaching gets much, much easier once you've been teaching the same books for enough years. The first five years I taught were 16 hours. Now I laze around at 9-10.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Crazy Spooks agent Tom, you are very crazy,

I saw him in ... something else and spent a good ten minutes at dinner (at a kinda trashy bar with amazing waffle fries) with my dad explaining how weird it was to see agent Tom doing something other than being agent Tom.

To be fair, it'd been a long day, none of the six muted tvs I could see had captions and we'd ordered Three Olives before dinner.

I really don't think my dad cared about the antics of not!agent Tom. No idea why I felt the need to tell him.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I got 93% on the face recognition test. Better than I expected.

Meara, if it makes you feel better, I'm not sure my ability to recognize creepy men has helped me very much in life.

In happier news, looks like my genetic testing was negative, so that's a relief.

That is happy news, megan.

Uh oh, Perkins, you sure it wasn't dita just crawling on your back while you slept?

(I realize now that the preceding question probably gives Megan more heebiejeebies than does the bed bug question.)

Maybe that's how they steal your soul.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This explains my soullessness!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I got an 86 on the facial recognition test, but I'm not sure the kind of recognition they were testing is very useful. What I'd like to see a test for is matching face with context.

I've had a bazillion embarrassing moments where I've run into someone I know (and who knows me), but I can't figure out how I know them. It takes a huge number of repeat encounters before I can consistently recognize someone out of their usual context (work, knitting store, gym, etc.)

Me too. Worse, flat-out not recognizing someone out of their normal (to me) context. Like, I've always seen Familiar Person in Renaissance costume, and here she is in the Safeway in sweats, and I have no clue that she's even someone I know until she starts talking to me.
