Wow... I can;t believe it, algorithms are taking SO much shorter to learn it;s crazy from one hout for a seven move (lol) to like 10 minutes now! yay!

I got the Y perm in my head in about 5 minutes, but that was because because I tried to solve with only y perms for corners and 3 cycles for edges

I learned the V-Perm in 1 minute! I looked over it, read the strategies listed (badmpehisto's site), and thought of some of my own. I left to go do something for about 2 minutes, and then came back and performed it correctly.

Learning algs becomes very easy after you know some basic ones.
Sitting down to learn more algs instead of just scrambling/solving the cube becomes much harder once you know some basic ones

true, I just can't get myself to learn the new F2l algs
I just randomly picked up the oll and pll algs I have now because I read them here, and I made up my own Z perm when I couldn't get any sleep

I just repeatedly do the algo. Then when solving I will usually remember it.

Mhmm, I find algorithms easy to "remember" at first, and after a couple of times of doing it I know it completely, but I have a problem with the recoginiton and I think it is actually bad to use scrambles (aka inverse algorithms) because you don't learn it as well, because you are doing it backwards so it means you don't remember it so well, you just perform the reverse of something.
I wouldn't get too over-elated about having success learning some algorithms because, maybe when you come to more complex ways to solve the cube, you will find the real problems.
But cool that you are learning them fast and good luck.

Most PLL's are 2 or 3 cycles, so just doing them once or twice gives you the scramble

PLLs, I agree aren't too bad. I find OLL not too bad either because you practise the F"L whilst doing it. At the moment I am perfecting F2L and working on my recognition, so that fact that I did the inverse for a while was pretty crap and didn't work that well.
