Memory Issues

I just want to preface this whole post with the fact that I have an obscenely bad memory. For those of you out there who are psychology buffs, you should understand me when I say that, while linguistic intelligence may be my forte, bodily-kinesthetic would definitely be my main short-coming. Hence why I can remember conversations practically word-for-word for some time after, can still remember comments people have made years later, and can recite dialogue from movies/plays/books like crazy, but I couldn't tell you for the life of me where I put something.

Which brings me to today's funny story. I had to give a presentation in my psychology class about nature vs. nurture, and the shaping factors in my life. We needed 10 symbols. Now, one of my symbols was going to be my permit, which I've lost twice, and I was going to talk about my memory. Well...I finished my presentation and went back to my seat, and realized about five seconds later that I had forgotten to talk about it. That right there is a perfect example of irony. I forgot to talk about the symbol representing my bad memory.

Then, two class periods later (in 5th), I realized I had forgotten the box one class before (4th period Japanese). For shame!!! If Mr. T still pitied fools, he'd waste a whole day of pity on me right about now.

On the topic of Mr. T, I found out today that he no longer pities fools. That makes me sad inside. The moment I heard it, I felt a tiny piece of my childhood slipping away. Although, in a way, I suppose it's for the best. He probably doesn't want to be known just for that, like Chuck Norris is known only for Chuck Norris jokes, the roundhouse kick, and Walker, Texas Ranger.

And now, for something that has nothing to do with anything, I shall speak of video games.

I bought God of War, Final Fantasy 12, and Bully over the weekend. They all be much fun, yessiree. I was talking to a friend, and I think it's time I decided on specifics for each member of the team in FF12. What I've got now is Vaan and Basch will both be upfront fighting, one with black magic and the other with green, respectively. Balthier will be ranged weapons, and Fran will be ranged weapons and white magic, meaning I needs lots and lots of ethers. If anyone has any suggestions on a better combo, I'd be happy to hear it.

Uhm, other than that, there's not much going on in my life. Ta!
