its worse when you say i'm 25--- wait, no. 26

6/29/2009 9:37:19 PM

I'm having trouble with it right now... technically, I'm still 24, but I'm only a month off from 25, so sometimes I just say that.

6/29/2009 9:39:44 PM

just be like "Quarter of a century, give or take."

6/29/2009 9:41:15 PM

i feel ya... although for me it happened at 30.

i used to have awesome memory (i still do, but not as good) and i could never forget small chores, phone numbers, places of keys, etc. but now, i have 1 or 2 duh moments everyday, when before it used to be once a week or less often.

i used to easily remember around 20-30 4-digit extensions as an undergrad (friends in dorms and campus offices) (i needed to hear an extension once and it was imprinted on my mind)

now at work, for the life of me, i can't seem to remember more than 2 or 3. to remember 20-30, i would have to put in a lot of effort/practice/repetition which i didn't have to do before.

i can't even remember my own extension at work.

also, i regularly will walk into a room or get in my car and have absolutely no idea what i was planning on doing.

i must be partially dyslexic with numbers too, because I can have a 4 or 5 digit number (address, zip code, extension) and i will switch the numbers around in 2 minutes easilly

6/29/2009 10:06:33 PM

...and a half.

6/29/2009 10:12:36 PM

my response is always "how old do you think i am?"

6/29/2009 10:25:00 PM

for sure...it used to be that way only with years...I never got used to it being 200X before it was 200(x+1)...so eventually I was kinda like "Fuck it, I'm just gonna let 'em roll by and ignore 'em"

and now it's the same way with my age

6/29/2009 10:30:25 PM

when they ask how old I am, I ask how old they think I am before I will tell them.
I usually get 30-35 years old as my answer.
When I tell them I am 25, they all get a confused look.

Most of the time it is with clients or employees, and then they start acting different around me.

6/29/2009 11:34:23 PM

i get id'ed at the bar, every single time

6/29/2009 11:42:51 PM

I am 24. Depressing.

6/29/2009 11:43:48 PM

This happened to me last week
