I do much better with long-term memory---I can recall what I was doing and where I was doing it when Elvis Presley died, for example. But as far as what I ate for dinner last night or where I left my keys, I'm SOL.

I've been a long time reader since the 6th grade reading Harry Potter books lol. I'll stay up till 3am if it's a good book. It was an escape and a huge passion. I tried to read a book about a month ago and kept having to re-read stuff over and over. I finally gave up and it's stuffed in my nightstand drawer. There goes my escape. That's a real bummer for me.
