I had an idea last night for something I wanted to write about today, but now that today's actually here, I can't for the life of me remember what it was.  So instead I'm writing about the fact that I can't remember the idea I had last night.  Hopefully whatever it was will re-occur to me at some point, because I'm sure it was something interesting.  More interesting than musing on an idea I can't remember at any rate.  

It's kind of amazing that humans are able to accomplish anything with how faulty our memories can be.  Not only do I completely forget things, but I misremember some of the stuff I actually do remember.  

There are some people that supposedly have perfect memories and can tell you exactly what happened to them at 3:27 PM on August 18th, 1998.  I am definitely not one of those people, and although there are times I wish my memory was better, I think we're supposed to be able to forget things.  Because honestly there's some things you want to forget.  Like a really bad day for instance.  Why would I want to re-live that in my mind in excruciating detail?  I think forgetting things is how you're able to move on from stuff.  Being overly stuck in the past probably isn't good for anyone.  Plus, how annoying would it be if your partner could call up every last word you ever said and use it against you in an argument?  Trust me, it's better to just forget stuff a lot of times.

I still wish I could remember what I meant to write about today, though.
