Me? I've recently quit smoking on July 1st, after 8 years. Wanted to know who else has something they've overcome recently/previously and want to share.

heh, that reminds me of how learning to read more quickly backfired on me. rather than reading each word start to finish and reading it with my internal monologue, i read the first and last letters and notice about how many letters are in between and basically assume what words and phrases are based on that. works great like 95% of the time but when it doesn't, i read all sorts of vulgar or nonsensical stuff and it really throws me off.

my professor taught me something similar when it comes to word counts. I dont know the EXACT lesson he taught, but I recognize a similarity.

anything else? This is really interesting.

i think that's all i've got unless you want to talk about how strange memory is.

it scares my friends when I remember specific shit from YEARS ago.

most recently, I told my friend how I remember in 4th grade, how I was chosen to run the 400x sprint (Track and Field) and what his comment was, when it was announced by the school.

that was over 15years ago.

I also remember a girl who did a project on ACDC (3rd grade) and i told her about it, and she wont talk to me now because im 'creepy'.
