Huh, Bev, I'd forgotten about that, actually. Ironically? Hee.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I would be happy to just recognize my co-workers at the grocery store. If I see people out of the usual context, I stare at them like "Why are you talking to me, strange person! How dare you presume a relationship--oh, crap, you sit in the cubicle right next me, that's embarrassing."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
H sheds memory on purpose--he says he only has so much RAM, so he purges deliberately every so often.
I'm so literal that I can't understand how this even would be done. It fascinates me, but I also can't figure out how to rid oneself of memory through a deliberate act of will.

t shameful pedant RAM is processing, not storage

I have to remind myself sometimes that the crappy memory holes are often due to ACDCADHD
Oh, yes. My memory is very much like a random highlights reel. I'm in awe of people who have detailed memories of long stretches of childhood. For me, all but maybe about 3 hours of a year lived in Kansas City when I was 8/9 are just gone.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Rats! I was afraid I got the RAM thing wrong!
Steph, I don't understand it either. He says he just goes "I no longer need this information," and somehow just lets go of it, pushes it away or aside to make room for new information. He's always done it, since I first knew him. On one hand I sort of admire the ability, on the other hand, it kind of freaks me out.

It is like the opposite side of the coin where you deliberately tell yourself that something must be remembered. You tell your brain that this is something you don't need or want to remember. It is such an old habit it happens pretty fluidly. Of course, my memory is so bad that lots probably is gone that I specifically wanted to remember, but for sure the stuff I wanted gone is gone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You tell your brain that this is something you don't need or want to remember.
Wow, really? I think my brain would decide to remember extra-hard out of spite.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am so cranky right now. Long hot day. Helper came to work, thanks heavens. I have to finish my business plan by tomorrow, but screw it - I'm taking a shower and going to bed. With drugs to make sure I sleep. I'll finish it tomorrow.

If I could consciously get rid of things from my memory, like oh, commercial jingles from my childhood? YES, I WOULD LIKE THAT ABILITY.
