Oh, and regarding that earlier post...

My lack of real-world friends is because I mostly live online. Youse guys know this. It doesn't disturb me much, but somehow the fact that I have more friends now than I did before (but they're all online) disturbs everybody else in the family VERY much. Messed up.

Um, gee, thanks?

I rarely, if ever, know *anybody's* names. That's not, I think, because I am antisocial but because I'm just really bad at remembering names.

And our dear mother won't call for anything either. In fact, I call and order takeout more than she does! I just don't like using the phone. People don't understand me over the phone. It gets embarassing.

Well, I don't know about the other stuff but I can relate 100% to not knowing my professors' names. I read them when I first sign up for a course online but that's pretty much it. In class they don't really tend to come up, except maybe when said professor mentions their email. And since I'm not exactly very talkative when it comes to my fellow students, I hardly ever say stuff like, "What did you think of so-and-so's lesson today?" Usually not remembering their names isn't even a problem, it only was that one time when a professor had ordered books for us in bulk at a store, and the shop assistant asked me what the professor's name was so she could look up the order - and I had no clue. :-P

I also have troubles remembering the names of my boyfriend's extended family. We've been together for two and a half years, but I only get to see him every couple of months because of the distance, and I have to re-learn all his cousins' names every time.

Well, I can't remember anyone's names excpet for family and teachers and that's because their names are everywhere in the classroom.

I can't remember my friends' names, my classmates names', you name it, I forget it.

Shoot, I occasionally forget that you're Ulyyf!

A also have the uncanny ability to be mis-understood on the phone. It takes me apx.20 minutes longer for me to order the pizza than it does someone else. Pah on phones! long live the internet!
