guslLately, I've been paying attention to how my memory works. Essentially, I'm trying to manage the inevitable process of forgetting.
As much as possible, I try to use my digital camera, my credit card, and write to this blog, so that it's possible to piece my memories together should the need (or curiosity) arise. I almost certainly do it too much. It is a quirk of mine to live by "All information is holy! Information must not be lost!", and I only know of one other person who shares this quirk. It's quite an inconvenient quirk to have when your HD is full (as is the case now).
Being a recent transplant here, I've obviously have formed lots of new memories that will stay with me for a while, and I've also done lots of forgetting (though harder to verify).
Why write this now?
Because apparently, Noam and I chatted in 2004, completely forgot about each other, met each other again in 2006, and since then we never suspected that we'd spoken to each other before. I only found this out thanks to LJ.
(and no, no memories were recalled: it's as if 2004-me was a different person telling me that they met Noam)
