"Memory of a fish"
--is what my brother said about my memory. I have problems even remembering personal things like favorite bands, movies to see, favorite animals, christmas wishes,etc. So I resort to making lists on index cards but they all eventually find their means of escaping my grasp; scattered among the dark corners of the house with a voracious appetite for the lost and never found. Therefore, I thought it'd be sensible to write down my lists in a collective entry where the hungry house can't devour.
Note to self: keep this entry open for changes in the future.
