<p>Hmm, shouldn’t we specify whether we’re actual Brown students or prospective students? 'Cause this thread started out as one for students to introduce themselves, I believe. </p>
<p>So, yeah, I’m class of '13 and I’m applying to Brown this year! </p>
<ol>
<li><p>I have prosopagnosia, which is inability to recognize faces. (Opposite of Dudboi…) I have it pretty mildly, but it’s still embarrassing; I’m always afraid when I meet someone for the first time that I’ll have no idea who they are the next time I see them. D: Also, if you show me a picture of a celebrity, I’ll have noooo idea who they are. </p></li>
<li><p>Relevantly, I’m interested in cognitive neuroscience! I’m interning this year with a professor at JHU and doing a year-long research project on prosopagnosia. (:</p></li>
<li><p>I’ve never been out of the country – in fact, the only time I’ve ever been off of the east coast (I live in Maryland) was for a computer programming contest in Ohio.
I’m ridiculously sheltered, I know.</p></li>
<li><p>I stalked my current boyfriend for three years, on and off, before we started dating him. I took pictures of his house, memorized his phone number and address and parents’ names, and even found out and memorized his social security number. We’ve been dating for over eight months now.</p></li>
<li><p>To celebrate Pi Day in my freshman year, I memorized the first 50 digits. I’ve memorized more on different occasions, but only the first 50 are stored in my long-term memory.</p></li>
<li><p>I have mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – I step over all sidewalk cracks. :3</p></li>
<li><p>I’ve given blood twice and almost passed out both times. It’s really frustrating, 'cause I know it’s a psychological thing (the first time, it happened before the needle was even in my arm), but I can’t get over it.</p></li>
<li><p>I very very rarely watch TV. However, my TiVo is set to record The Big Bang Theory and the Office, which I watch when I feel like it.</p></li>
<li><p>I listen to a variety of different musical genres, but my top two are progressive metal and death metal. :]</p></li>
