S’funny, I remember this about you from previous posts…

I am also hopeless with song titles and remembering which actor was in which movie. It sucks when I am looking for a song to download because I dunno what the title is even if I can sing it!

This is why, my dear, I’m a BIG fan of name tags–it just makes it easier on everyone. Fortunately, I will NEVER forget your name.

I on the other hand, am really good with names. I never forget a face which isn’t always a good thing. My issue is that I can’t remember where I know you from just that your name is so and so and you were drinking milk the last time I saw you. Then suddenly it all snaps together. And then I usually run after you shrieking, “We went to second grade together. You used to eat paste!” Good times!

i am only going to talk about the handling because then you would have a hat-trick of handling comments.

and i think you need a mnemonic device. you can get them at longs.

I am the same way with names and faces and it makes me feel like a gynormous ass, too. Why can’t I remember? Sigh.

Also…where do I apply to be Cami Kaos’ handler, and what do I get to handle?

The ancient Romans had a name for that kind of handler: nomenclator. He or she would stand or sit behind their employer and whisper names and associations in their ear. “That’s @verso, you know her from Beer & Blog.”
