Redux
re·dux | \ (ˌ)rē-ˈdəks , ˈrē-ˌdəks \ Definition of redux : brought back —used postpositively Did You Know? In Latin, redux (from the verb reducere, meaning "to lead back") can mean "brought back" or "bringing back." The Romans used redux as an epithet for the Goddess Fortuna with its "bringing back" meaning; Fortuna Redux was "one who brings another safely home." But it was the "brought back" meaning that made its way into English. Redux belongs to a small class of English adjectives that are always used postpositively-that is, they always follow the words they modify. Redux has a history of showing up in titles of English works, such as John Dryden’s Astraea Redux (a poem "on the happy restoration and return of his sacred majesty, Charles the Second"), Anthony Trollope’s Phineas Redux, and John Updike’s Rabbit Redux.

Hypermnesia
noun The condition of having an unusually vivid or precise memory. My sister says I have this (I can remember things from a long time ago) - she thinks I am going to get Alzheimer's like my Dad because eventually he was just living in the past all the time.
(With me though I can remember a lot of stuff, not just from the past)

(With me though I can remember a lot of stuff, not just from the past) We might be twins! I remember a lot of stuff in detail. At work I can make people's head's spin by recalling a conversation and reciting it. It freaks them out a200
