I used to always say food critic, but I realised how picky I am. Probably a book critic.

I have inherited my father's long-term memory and my mother's short-term memory, which is really a brilliant combination. I can remember long strings of numbers with relative ease, and can recount to you every meal I ate for seven weeks while touring Europe in 2009 (we have tested this). I don't say an address and forget it the next second, and I can tell you what I was wearing when I went to that one park when I was seven. I can remember street-signs, people's names, scents people favour, personal details, entire scripts or monologues...but do not ask me to remember why I came into this room. I can never remember what I am supposed to be doing.
