I have a pretty good memory for faces. I can also remember names (when I care to). What sucks, though, is that I can never remember what face goes with what name.
I also have a kinda location specific memory for people. So if I see someone in place A, I will recognize them again in place A, but not in place B. Weird, huh?.. So the other week, I was in the Living Room and there was this girl sitting across the room from me. She looked familiar, but vaguely enough that I thought I was making it up. An hour later I went to the Firehouse for some lindy hopping and their she was again. Only this time I immediately knew her name and that we'd taken like a bunch of classes and danced together a bunch of times. At least she was a good sport and didn't take my ignoring her personally.
So, if you kinda know me and happen to bump into me, but I barely acknowledged you existed, that cuz I didn't recognize you out of the environment I'm used to seeing you. So, the next time just come over, yell at me and hit me over the head. You have my permission... but only if you know me... you MAY NOT hit me if you are a total stranger... but then, i guess you wouldn't know who I am anyway.
