Memory has always been very interesting to me. I have a particularly keen ability to remember people’s faces and names, dates and events, the page number and location of a particular passage in a book…odd things. Sometimes it’s advantageous. Remembering people goes a long way in making friends and in scoring points at work! Other times, I’d rather not remember unpleasant, even traumatic, events and experiences.
I imagine so! As a younger person, I didn’t realize that not everyone could remember people and things as easily as I do. It was a bit damaging, psychologically. I just thought that people didn’t remember me, generally.
Oddly enough, high school reunions have been big esteem boosters for me. I wasn’t an especially popular person in school, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find I’m remembered well.
I think you were abducted by a UFO. And your dad's an alien.

All of it still fascinating.
That’s fascinating! That kind of memory would be great in my line of work.
