It just took me 15 seconds to remember someone's name.

Someone close to me. I should remember their name automatically.

I can make up for it, because I'm creative as fuck, but this is worrying.

About two weeks ago.

I sincerely don't think it has anything to do with that, though

Why don’t you think it has anything to do with that? Is it because you liked it so much you want to do it again?

Did you used to drink excessive amounts of alcohol or use harder core stimulants like cocaine, modafinil, or amphetamine type drugs? That had a similar effect on, er, a friend.

I also think the internet is part of it. More of our brain had to be used for memory. Having search engines and using the internet all the time really does rewire your brain. Memory is less important.

I'd attribute it to internet, but perhaps alcohol.

But internet seems more likely. My mind is sharp, and better than even when it comes to some things.

It is just recollection which suffers.
