rachelmanija is asking for your favorite cool bits- the images and details and tropes that make you love a story. The comments to this post are the best thing ever. I'd love to read the stories that could come out of them.

Can't Pick Out a Face? Well, You're Not Alone. Oh my God. I've been saying for years that I think I have some sort of condition because I have so much trouble recognizing people, and look! It actually exists! Though I'm not as bad as some of the people in this article- I can recognize people once I know them well- some of the other details are so true. I do have trouble following movies, because I can't learn to tell actors apart in the space of two hours.

Thank you! I liked your responses a lot too, particularly Those quiet, calm conversations between two characters where there is nothing else going on, just them concentrating on each other and talking and enjoying the calm before the storm because they know that everything is going to hit the fan and that at least one of them will be dead soon.

Oh man, yes. That is totally one of my favorite bits too.

You make my heart happy; I have a friend I do that with now, and I was sad at the thought of not having anyone to waste time with like that. I move at the end of August.
