Meeting YouTubers sucks. They always screw with me because of my Alzheimer’s. How am I supposed to keep track of a bunch of young white people that all wear green shirts? They all start to look alike after a while. Except for that mouth ring chick in the beginning. Her name is momodelicious.

Thanks to TheMightyThor1212 (who is the wedding crasher of YouTube gatherings) for giving me the names here:

Note- second upload with additional scenes. The first version got squished from letterbox.

P.S. I don’t really have Alzheimer’s. It’s called prosopagnosia (sometimes known as face blindness) — a disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while the ability to recognize other objects may be relatively intact. The term usually refers to a condition following acute brain damage, but mine is a congenital form of the disorder. Most of my brain damage has resulted in insanity not this disease.

Prosopagnosia (also known as facial agnosia or face blindness) is difficulty or inability to recognize faces. Although I don’t have this problem with every face, this does happen to me frequently and it makes me feel very guilty, and embarrassed… oops, sowweee!
