Curious and curious-er

Why is it…

…that I am terrible remembering names — but good with faces — especially when it comes to pets? I know all my neighbors’ dogs’ names, but only a few of the owners’, even though I’m friendly and speak with them often.

And for that matter, why should I remember the remotest fact about a person I met once, yet I can’t remember when or where that I met them? I can recall what they were wearing, what they said about their cousin’s new car, or who they were roommates with but can’t remember if they were in class with me, marched in band with me, or were in some random conversation at a rare party I was convinced to attend.

Some things make you go, “Hmmm.”
