I read last month that your memory takes a steep dive at the age of twenty, which explains both why teenagers (including me as one) have such an extensive grasp of trivia and why I suddenly went stupid at the age of twenty-one. I'm serious, I think I remember the day I actually went stupid.
God, tell me about it. Only I started to feel my memory slipping when I hit 16. Ever since then it's all been downhill. I dunno, maybe it's more that you stop learning so many new things that your brain gets out of the habit but I don't like it one bit, Goddammit. I keep fighting it, too. Like at work I'll start reciting "The Highwayman" or "The Cremation of Sam McGee" or something just to make sure I still can. And sometimes I can't do it. And then I get really mad, because I pride myself in being a storehouse of pointless information and if rhyming ghost robbers and talking corpses aren't pointless, what is?
I'm getting too worked up about this. I should just forget about it. Ha.
C is for Cookie? I haven't even seen V is for Vendetta (I know, I know, it's on my list) and I think that's the funniest thing ever.
