Wow! I got 91% for recognition and 100% for temporal that was a cool quiz - not sure what it has to do with sleep though. Will read more on the site.

Apparently when we're tired, our memory suffers. Did you try the related sheep dash game in the fun stuff section?

My memory is so bad that I completed this test, came out of it, and then forgot what my score was to post it here.

Feel I can't do it again as it would be an unfair score.

DOH! x

I meant to type (but had to rush off to see to Charis!) that I'd done something similar and had to click 'back' a few times to retrieve my score hehe.

I clicked on the back button but maybe a few too many times and then my score was gone forever

95% Recognition
86% Temporal
0 false positives.

I'm not bad with faces but can never remember peoples names which is terribly embarrassing at times. I even forgot the names of people I am working with on a day to day basis.

I'm the same as you blueflower, better with faces than names.

i love the group MAZZY STAR-Hope Sandoval has a beautiful haunting voice and both her last two Mazzy albums were pure genius-i'm assuming they are whence you got your name from?

Hello Sparky, yes that's where the name is from. I'm a big fan. My favourite song is off the album 'So tonight that I might see', a track called 'Fade into you'.

Nice to meet you! x

that was the first song i ever heard by them...my mate had a compliation cd of songs from rarely heard bands that he'd had for ages and used to wake him up in morning and that was first song....was so haunting i tracked all three of their albums down...Hope Sandoval,the female lead also appears on the last DEATH IN VEGAS album SCORPIO RISING on two tracks....have not got hold of her album that she released though when she left Mazzy star-can't remember the title wasn't it Hope Sandoval and the lost rejects or something...probs not even close with that guess but was something along those lines....


how brilliant another MAZZY STAR fan.....
