i used to pride myself on my ability to remember just about everything, but of course with time, this has changed (more to remember, less space to save it all on?). i don't think i've ever been very good at remembering movies and books, though. it's probably because i watch and read so many. i'll retain the main theme, but the details are usually alittle fuzzy.
my husband finds this rather amusing. he says he likes watching movies again with me because it's like i'm watching them for the first time. i ooh and aah in just the right places. i laugh, i cry, and i can enjoy the films all over again more than once. i can be surprised about things that apparently are vital to the plot, but somehow i've forgotten. i have a friend who can remember ridiculous details about books we've read and then relay them perfectly as if she'd just read them. take the twilight books, for example. now that the movie has finally come out almost 4 years after i read breaking dawn, i could hardly piece together the sequence of events. when the finale came, i was on the edge of my seat, combing through my memory. was this what had really happened? what was going on?? i wish i could remember the ending! but oh, it was exciting. again!
maybe it just means that my brain wants to leave storage space for the important things.
