'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's why my bookshelves drive other people crazy. I don't have a system; I have memory.Hee! This is my filing system for most things, and it works for me. When an organized system works for me, it still works, because I remember where I put it, not because I'm using the usual cues like oh say, the alphabet, or numbers.
Last night my BF turned to me in his sleep and patted my shoulder and said "My girlfriend is beautiful."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we call him the WBB.
On the other hand, I don't remember things I hear very well, which is why I take notes even if I have no intention of referring to them later.
Me too! Just the act of writing something down makes me remember it much better than hearing it or reading it.
My brain is very strange--I only clearly remember about four dreams I've ever had, but one of them was dreamt during kindergarten (or thereabouts). I still vividly remember that one because of some of its more surreal aspects (giant generic Mom and Dad and Baby Girl, clutching a giant Teddy Bear, peeking around the door at me, and then I turn over and the bedroom has become a massive ballroom lit only by moonlight coming in through a wall of French doors, filled with adults in fancy 1970-era evening wear, all milling about chatting with drinks in their hands). I might recall a dream if I wake up in the middle of it and repeat the details out loud to myself, but even then the details are lost within minutes.
As to book/media shelf organization, I keep my paperback romances in author alphabetical order (with series and trilogies shelved in release order), and all nonfiction organized by subject matter (history has tons of subsections). The unread books are in a separate case just split up by fiction or nonfiction. The media is organized by type of film (comedy, action, sci-fi, doc), and the music is organized by type and then by artist (soundtracks/cast recordings are organized by name of the film/play). Yes, I am rather anal about these things--the library work comes to the forefront on my shelves.
I've dreamed reading comic books and Sunday comics (remember the For Better or Worse bizarro dream I had a couple weeks ago?) as well as visiting art galleries. And I do have a very strong visual memory....
Why is it that "The 80's" seem a very long time ago, but 1991 really doesn't?
Why is it that "The 80's" seem a very long time ago, but 1991 really doesn't?
Maybe because the 80's are twice as far away as the 90's.
I feel the same way. I think that's because I think of myself as a still a kid (more or less) in the 80s, and my adult life started in the 90s. I'm always surprised, for example, when something I think of as a newish song is 10 to 15 years old.
I didn't feel old until a minute ago.
You're not old. You're just pregnant.

Aw! Heidi's got nothing on you, o babelicious one.
