For example, when I moved into my apartment, I wrote down the names and descriptions of everyone I met so if I ever needed to talk to them a few months later, I would know who they were. But I also keep lists of people on my computer, so I can remember who they are later on. Thanks to that, the whole concept of "people I have forgotten" is pretty strong on my mind.
It makes sense now, because I can see that my fetish for paired costuming comes from somewhere.Įvery single teacher from highschool, with the exception of the one who died and who's funeral notices got sent to me We used to do paired costuming according to pictures I've now seen. We broke up first year university, but she would normally be very memorably because her birthday is 3 days before mine-on Halloween, while my birthday is on the Day of the Dead. Since we never kept in contact through university, I forgot about him. We went to junior prom together too, but he transfered out in senior year. Thus my best friend-best friend by virtue of the fact that he always calls me regardless of where I happen to be living, and thus never lets me forget him-has been telling me all about these people who we are going to meet. I don't typically remember that I've forgotten people, but this week is special because my high-school is holding its 5 year re-union. My multiplication tables (seriously, I got beaten for not remembering that so I'll remember 7x7=49 till the day I die)Īnd here's a quick explanation for why I rememember that I've forogtten people: I remember one girl I dated in highschool because her name is my AIM password)Ĭoncepts (Couldn't pass school without that) Things I have reminders of (I remember I ran highschool track because I have my varsity letter on my wall. This explains why I always scrape the icing off cake( Stories that I always tell (like that time I had blue icing on my birthday cake, and it gave me feverish diahrea for 2 weeks. Its not a horrible condition, and its easy to overlook it if you are interacting with me daily. In a few months, I'll forget your name.Ī few people asked me to do an AMA, and a few disbelieved the story because the last part-especially, and intentionally-looks like 'hype'. If you are my friend, but leave the state then I'll forget I had feelings for you. Now I can't remember anything in detail unless I'm actively engaged in it. I remember wishing intensely for hours till the sunset, and the house was quiet: "Please let me forget".Īnd that's that. The last thing I do remember is being 11 years old, and crying in my room behind a locked door as vivid detail seared through my mind. Then something happened, something tragic I'm sure. My older brother is autistic, and I always wondered if I were like him but only to a lesser degree. Gradually, I began to feel like a bit of a freak. They made it into an event each time I was asked to recollect data like some kind of machine. But it was enough at least to earn me notice. It didn't however apply to everything-I couldn't memorize numbers easily, much to my parents dismay when it came time to do learn multiplication tables. Remember that? Remember this? I would remember movies to the point where I could never see them twice because of the irritating feeling of knowing the next line.
