• Good day to you and your household!

  
  

  Often times I forget peoples names after meeting them.  Even after consciously repeating their name in my head ten times after meeting them, I still forget what it is.  The strategy of listening for other people to say their name can get frustrating because whenever that’s your strategy for some odd reason people stop addressing the unidentified person by name, almost as if they knew to do it to spite you. 

  
  

  Today I caught a break.

  
  

  There is a girl on the cross country team and I see her in the halls of school and talk to her every now and then.  But I couldn’t remember her name! 

  
  

  So today I went to the podiatrist and just as I was waiting for a doctor to fill something out so that I could leave, an assistant goes to the door leading from the office to the waiting room and calls, “Marrissa!  You’re up.”  A moment later I see the girl from the cross country team walk through the door and a shot of ecstasy hit my brain.  What a break!  Of all things I thought to be solved at the doctor’s office, memorizing a person’s name I did not think was one of them.  Ah, what a break.

  
  

  Another great way to memorize a person’s name is by writing a xanga post of a story about them.

  
  

  Sorry I haven’t been writing much here lately, I’ve been undergoing a massive writing project that demanded all my free time. 

  
  

  Cheerios!
