Sorry it's been so long between updates. I shall attempt to make this a more regular deal.

I can't use faces to ascertain people's identities unless I've known them long enough, and have seen them consistently enough, to learn their face. Thankfully, there's more to a person than just a face, so I'm left with many tools at my disposal. They're not fool-proof, but they almost work. Here are some of the main ones, presented in order of usefulness (in my case) from most useful to least useful.

Oh, season four of House. You are a confusing thing... For the first four episodes, I thought House had one less fellowship applicant than he actually had. I knew something was amiss when a coworker and I were discussing "97 Seconds." She insisted House was down to X number of men. I was just sure that House actually had one less than that.

Uh-oh. I watched it again.

Welcome! I had a little intro post below, but it wasn't exactly... explanatory. I suppose it would be helpful if I talked a bit about what face-blindness is, huh? :) Here's what I've experienced with it.

( I can see faces; I just can't recognize specific faces. )

Hi. My name is Heather and I'm face-blind. I have prosopagnosia. I can visually see faces, but I have a hard time recognizing and distinguishing people by their face. I can eventually learn a face, but it takes me a long time and repeated exposure to get to the point where I can consistently recognize a person by face alone.

( When I first learned about face-blindness, I read everything I could online about it. )
