that I am terrible at remembering phone numbers. I have a selective photographic memory, to where I remember certain things I see but not everything, and phone numbers are sadly not one of those things. I'm lucky I can remember my home phone number! I was at the mall yesterday trying to text my boyfriend from my sister's phone, and it turns out every combination of numbers I tried from the little I remembered was completely wrong! I had the area code number mixed up with the first three numbers of the phone number, then the last two numbers reversed and one of them was over all wrong anyway. x-x All those poor people I texted trying to find my boyfriend. Oops.

Oh dear! Haha, you're not alone. I'm great at remembering numbers, but there have been incidents where people have text my boyfriend or myself to threaten us, when they were meant to send it to someone else! It was horrible! D: (Psst. I see you've got 65 days now. It'd getting closer and closer. I remember when it was 90. Lol.)
i've only met one person who truly has photographic memory. she went into my room, gave it a quick glance, went downstairs, and redrew everything. she even knew what books were on my bed at the time like Sheldan from Big Bang Theory in a way (he has an overdeveloped memory, not sure if he's got a photographic memory, though) i would say that you've just got a good memory system, like me

Oh my glob that's weird. o.o That's why I never said anything personal in the text messages until I was sure it was Alex, I was just like "Alex?" lol. Yup, I remember back when it was 117 when I actually started counting the days. x3 Though it might take longer than me and Alex hope, because he's run into a few problems and that means we might have to wait. :c

I can actually do things like that, well, not to that degree, but with places and stuff yeah. One time my friend was testing how important my stuffed animals were to me since I had so many and he assumed I probably didn't even remember half of them, so he kept picking one up and hiding it behind his back and I had to guest which one was missing. I had about 50 spread out on my bed randomly, only took a few glances, and then would close my eyes while he hid the one; I got it right every time. -w- That's why I call is selective, I can only remember certain parts of conversations and some places perfectly. Otherwise I have the worst memory ever. Lmao.

It was really weird. The message was sent to Matt and it said: you leave Nina alone, she's mine and she doesn't love you, ******** off and never go near her again... blah blah. It really freaked him out because everyone calls me Mina, but the person replied and apologised about the wrong number. xD Man, that's a long time! Oh no! I hope he can resolve them in time. D:

that's a normal memory system-you remember the important things (like your stuffed animals) and forget others cuz we ain't Sheldon emotion_awesome
No, I also said I remember conversations and places I look at that have no value. The stuffed animals, yes, but not all of them have importance ( a lot do, but not all ), I just collect them.

hmm...Google results are suggesting that photographic memories might not even be real here's what wiki says:
Eidetic memory (pron.: /aɪˈdɛtɪk/), commonly referred to as photographic memory or total recall, is a psychological or medical term, popularly defined as the ability to recall images, sounds or objects in memory with extreme precision. The word eidetic, referring to extraordinarily detailed and vivid recall not limited to, but especially of, visual images, comes from the Greek word εἶδος (pronounced [êːdos], eidos, "seen").
or as my dad says, 'everyone has selective photographic memories' and 'so on occasion, you run out of film?' he's met only two people he'd consider with true photographic memory
