Fuzzy, not so much in the good way

[beetiger]

I keep forgetting things lately.

Appointments I've made, even regular ones that happen every week, until I'm almost up against them and maybe have scheduled something else over them or maybe slept through them. People's names, or people's kids names, or people's partner's names, or the context in which I know someone when I run into them in the park. Random facts that I really ought to know, who sang some song or other, some bit of math or food science or herbalism. It's making me feel lost and disconnected, and sort of stupid, and I think maybe it's making people think I don't care or I'm not paying attention, although actually I do, and I am, or I'm trying, anyway. I've never been particularly good at this stuff, but lately I'm feeling particularly bad at it. It certainly isn't making it any easier to make new connections with people, something I'm really trying to do right now. I don't think I'm too underslept, and I don't actually feel distracted or anything, and I don't know if the version of depression I'm working with right now would cause this, or if it's just the way I seem to be interacting with the world around me right now in a more general way.

In any case, call this a meme or just a favor or what have you, but if you're reading this, go ahead and comment and remind me of something? Anything at all would do, though if you think I've been losing track of something in particular that has to do with you, do mention that.

Remember to eat something as soon as you wake up. I have so much trouble thinking when I postpone a meal.

*laugh* edon't get me started about my eating issues lately. Whole 'nother post. Though you may be right, possibly related.

Remember, one man's ceiling is another man's floor.

You amaze me.

Wait a minute...don't I live in a single family house?

[lediva.livejournal.com]

Wow. You're one of the last people I thought I would ever accuse of being too literal. :)

I was just starting to worry that maybe I'd forgotten that I had some guy living in my attic or something...

[lediva.livejournal.com]

Not that I'm aware of... I mean, I'd hope he was at least chipping in for rent and utilities.

Remember that one time in NYC? With the people? And the DDR? And the funny things?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Grilled cheese. Way too much grilled cheese. :)

[momentrabbit.livejournal.com]

Have you called them back yet? They probably think you've forgotten by now.

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Oh, shit. You're right.

[eunice-branca.livejournal.com]

Remember that everyone forgets!!!

*laugh* It's true.

that incense order thingy,
umm, to do a little thing to make youself happy everyday! :D

Yeah, I do keep forgetting to get my wholesale stuff going with Fred Soll, which is a kind of a problem since I do have their stuff on my site and my actual inventory is kinda slim.

I got your package today, the funny thing is, of course, I forgot I was expecting it! Some days, it's like I'm one of those goldfish swimming around, little plastic castle and all that. :)

Remember when Nan's answering-machine message was in ancient Greek?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I don't remember. But I can easily imagine it. I've not been in touch with her in forever.

You successfully remembered to send out my BPAL imps, which arrived today. (Typhon, Shattered, et alia -- was Meskhenet a frimp? In which case, dudette, thank you!) Also, you remembered, with your usual over-kindness, to add three cones of hand-rolled Chai Spice incense. This reminded me to go into the kitchen and make myself a goddamn cup of chai... with dark cocoa in it, as I was wearing Tezcatlipoca when the package came!

Now, remember that being, apparently, the pawn of tricksterish forces is NOT FUNNY. Of the BPALs I've tried so far, none has really disliked me. Crow Moon has liked me, which should be self-explanatory; Kali, a goddess of destruction (often misinterpreted, but still) REALLY LIKES me, and so does Tezcat, which is named after an Aztec trickster god. *facepalm* Do I dare try Coyote? I've got The Raven on the way....

Oh, and you already know this, but remember that you are excellent and worthy of every good thing that comes your way -- Rhys included.

Remember to check your calendar.

I know, that sounds either silly or recursive, but after I missed an appointment I made it a policy to check the upcoming week on my Palm every Sunday.

Can I remind you of two things?

1) I have a game for you, if and when we get together and I remember where it is.

2) I want to dye with you!

A year and a half ago, when you were making preserves out of the apples from the trees in your yards, you sent me a jar of apple honey. It was delicious. :9

You might want to remmeber taht when you are trying to do something that is difficult for you to do, you are *focussing* on those things that you don't do well, and thus they will seem to stand out more. I'm not there, so I can't for sure tell you, "no, you're no worse than usual"...

but you might want to keep in mind that that is likely the truth.

and hey -- I have *regular* *monthly* meetings that I want to go to, that I persistently forget about... remembering them just as they would be starting.

I once attended a Deliberately Debauched party, where we connected our names on a whiteboard to those with whom we'd had carnal relations... and one lovely gentleman came up and said, with a big grin on his face, "Did you miss my name?" at which point I remembered in full detail *why* I should have been looking for it. I'm sure he figured it out, and yet he was so gracious about giving me the covering excuse.

I suspect you're realms better than I.
