Also i'd love to hear more about your (and Observer's) photographic memory.

Weird to explain, i remember stuff very well, especially totally unimportant things. Like an encyclopedia. If i see a wall of text for a few seconds i immediately "scan" it, recognizing the words by their shape, not their letters. Could read like an adult in the first grade, says so on the school certificate of that year.
Probably the reason i got sent to that school.
