I have Alzheimer's Disease, I think, if people my age can actually
|
|
get Alzheimer's. I have the worst memory of anyone I know. And, by the
|
|
way, YES I am sober, and AM sober most of the time.
|
|
|
|
Today I was telling a story and forgot the whole point of telling
|
|
my story smack in the middle of it. In fact, it was the story about the
|
|
Sears telemarketer guy, about the sledgehammer, and right as I was getting
|
|
to the part where he had his supervisor looking for my card number, I
|
|
forgot my point and said something like, "So I was on hold, and all I
|
|
wanted to do was finish watching Young Guns, and the telemarketer started
|
|
saying... saying..." All faces were turned to me in anticipation. "He
|
|
started saying some fucked up shit."
|
|
|
|
"What kind of fucked up shit?" my brother asked me.
|
|
|
|
"Ummm, I don't remember," I replied.
|
|
|
|
"So you just told us this whole story, set us up for some great
|
|
wonderful punchline, and YOU DON'T REMEMBER??" he glared, increduously.
|
|
|
|
"Yeah. Hang on a minute, I know I had a point or something funny or
|
|
SOME reason to tell this story," I mumbled, smacking my head against the
|
|
wall.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, I did remember, about 2 minutes later. I was safe, that
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
Last week, at a little shindig I attended, however, I was not so
|
|
lucky. In fact, right now I cannot even recall the conversation at all. I
|
|
just remember that I was telling a story and forgot what I was going to
|
|
say, right smack in the middle, and couldn't finish it. That was it.
|
|
|
|
I have come up with approximately 928374 brilliant ideas for
|
|
t-files. However, I have not written nearly as many. This is because I
|
|
DON'T REMEMBER what my ideas were, I just remember having them. I am
|
|
actually quite surprised that I have written as many as I have, although
|
|
many of them only exist because I wrote a note somewhere to myself.
|
|
|
|
Notes seem to be the only things that save my life. On my desk is a
|
|
5 subject notebook full of just about anything I've needed to jot down
|
|
while online since the fall of '96. This includes many defunct websites,
|
|
ancient e-mail addresses, and notes that read "Jolly=Aster" and
|
|
"asfjjk=styx" or "for Anjee Murmurs Pristine Smut Toy," if that makes sense
|
|
to anyone besides me and Anjee.
|
|
|
|
I forgot what else I was going to write.
