Hi, gang! I was originally planning on putting up a Free For All post today, but I'm feeling a need to meme. We tend to get a lot of participation on the getting-to-know-you type memes, and I'm always fascinated by the types of things I learn about 'Shipper Nation from these things. You can certainly feel free to comment with whatever visual media or text you might feel like sharing as if it were a Free For All, but I'll offer the following meme starter as a jumping off point:

5 Things You Don't Know About Me

This should be fairly self-explanatory. :) The 5 can be as personal or silly as you care to share. If a couple folks on the comm already know them, that's OK, too. My favorite part of these memes is the conversations they start, so let's get to know each other a little more!

Wow. You are officially the most interesting person ever. Someday I will write stories and you will be part of them.

So cool.

It's amazing how the brain and memory work. I've been getting into the "Sherlock" fandom lately and I read a fascinating post from someone with prosopagnosia (face-blindness). She cannot visually process people's faces, which means that she has had to construct an elaborate system of observation and memory tree association to narrow down people's identities and deduce who she is talking to in any given situation. It's completely fascinating. I had never heard of synesthesia as anything more than a literary device; that sounds like a really amazing way of seeing the world.

*grins* That is so cool about the person with prosopagnosia. It reminded me of this book:

Based on a real experience. Must be so amazing and fascinating - but thoroughly frustrating!
