Seela, of you haven't already, you probably should look out the Borges short story "Funes el Memorioso" [/hijack]

I'll look it up.

Scary things:

Empty restaurants and cafes during opening hours. There has got to be a reson for why they're empty, right?

That sounds a lot like me, but I've learned not to use my superpower a lot. My specific brand of supermemory-ness is numbers, so I remember a lot of phone numbers and birthdays, even of those people I've never been too close with. I still remember the phone number to a certain hospital archive room, because I had to call there once, and the line was busy the first time, and two repeats is pretty much what it takes for a set of numbers to be seared into my memory forever.

It is annoying, though, to remember all those phone numbers. I often have problems with telling apart which number is current, which one is old. For example, I remember 4 phone numbers for my dad's work place, and it wasn't once or twice growing up that I called the wrong number only to be told that my dad doesn't work there.

And then there are the SSNs of my friends and family. I know so many of them that it isn't even funny. It's a good thing I'm not a criminal, I guess.

For me it is remembering, years later, what people said. Also one of those things that that are scary, but not supposed to be.
Well, mostly not supposed to be.

Anyway, reminding people of what they said or wrote long ago is no good way to make friends with most people.
