forgetful

"Will anyone know I've lived? Or must I just become mush, dissolving away... with no one to remember me..." - Battle Angel Alita.

Something that I've been thinking about is... people I've known in my life, whether from school (primary, secondary, tafe, uni), internet, or those I previously hung around. Romantic and/or platonic, people who I've had interactions with whether fleeting or significant.
My point is, I think of these people in passing (or drawn out) and wonder if I am ever thought of? Or even remembered?

Do you people think of me besides when you come across my LJ entries on your friends pages?
I have a skill of being able to skim by unnoticed or cause conversation if I so choose - but that requires my presence. What happens when I'm not there? When there's no blatant trigger to remind you to recognise me, is there ever a chance I cross your minds?

I think of you guys. Want examples? There are no triggers, I can just be sitting around and these may cross my mind.
I remember pointclickkill's domain of razorbladekiss.com, and wanting to be her friend.
I think of a letter x0x0zombie sent me once that had a bunch on random items in the envelope, like a small American coin denomination, and a bangle.
I remember sending out christmas cards to stealthalbino and phsyke after procurring their addresses. And would love to do that again this year.
I miss talking to mauie, I sent her a package once to show her she was loved.
I remember meeting up with curioussquid at the city years ago, I told her she'd recognise me by my pink hair.
I remember dating stragen and us setting up itsonly_forever with therealshaft.
I love veeanca with everything. She's like my sister, and I wish we hung out more.

Those are my LJ plugs, let alone people I remember from TAFE, ex-boyfriends, friends I don't see any more... Am I thought of and remembered without prompting, like I do of them, of you?

thoughts, memories, relationships, friendship
