memory

it's so strange how memories work. it's too quiet in here, so i decided to listen to my old virginia radio stations online. oddly enough, i remembered the station numbers as though i still listen to them every day when it's actually been about 7 years.

yet i forget my pin number.

i can recite lisa's home phone number that i haven't called for about 4 years.

but i forget the names of bands that i listen to quite often.

i remember random people's cars: my sister's friends, my 6th grade teachers, etc.

but i can't remember what you just asked me to do.

i can remember small details about someone's life when it's only mentioned in conversation.

but i'm sorry...what was your name again?

crazy.

i watched almost famous today while i worked. damn, that is such a great movie. (check out my profile).

well, everyone should be proud: i went out last night. :) after i went to kidzone one of the teachers asked me to go get drinks with her. we went up to a club on the base and there were only 5 people there, so we went to the bar at the bowling alley on base and it was closed. as a last resort we went to one of the other teacher's apartments. on the way there we saw a dumb guy trying to thumb a ride in the middle of the road while his idiot friend just stood there and calmly said, "get out of the street." as we walked by he was peeing between the street and the sidewalk. gross. i think he was just playing with his cock, but melissa swears that he was peeing. anyway, so we went over there and had beer that they had just bought from a monastery that day (oh, that's right I drank some beer!).

then a few of them decided to go to a club in town, so melissa and i got a ride there. the club was so strange because it's divided into a german and american side. the american side was filled with drunk army guys humping random ladies. yikes! i had some fun playing with stupid drunk boys though - telling them that i'm from kentucky, i'm backpacking through europe, and my name is shanaynay (how do you spell that?). a german brewer who looked like silent bob hit on me. that was pretty amusing. hey, at least i got a free drink out of it. but we mostly just sat and people watched and talked. it was good bonding time. i got into bed around 4 am and slept in this morning. :) sleeping in is great!

now i have to update blurty, work on lesson plans for next week, and go back to the apartment. i hope you all have a splendid weekend.
