If you had a first date and he stood you up for the second he could just be totally ignoring you out of shame for forgetting. There's that I guess.



EDIT:

It's Foucault, which means it's more rhetoric/semiotics-side than philosophy/religion side.  It's about the development of the modern prison through the enlightenment period, after the "sovereign's right"-style public executions and tortures before the 1750s (when penal codes were changed in pretty much all western European countries).

It's fascinating, but also quite horrifying.


Current moment of sad: I never feel like I'm learning anything.  My brain somehow manages to know loads of shit (When and where was St. Augustine born?  354 AD, Hippo, North Africa.  Thank you, brain!  I last saw that information two or three months ago!), but I never feel like I do.  Sort of like I'm detached from my memory or something like that.

Months ago? Vector I would kill for a memory like yours.

[Cthulhu]

I never remember important stuff like that.  All I can remember is dumb stuff like the exact words and inflection someone used when they said something ten years ago.  That's not cool.  All it does is make me mad when someone quotes a show and says the lines wrong.

Reading Cider House Rules by John Irving. The damn cat is laying just out of reach and heating range, pur usual.

Funny you should mention that. I jokingly worked something like, "It's ok if you forgot," into the message I sent him. At least I was going for joking to sort of play it off and smooth it over.

Oh!  Truean!  That is a good book and I hope it makes you very happy indeed.


As far as my memory goes... yeah, it's kind of pointlessly sharp for some details.  I could remember all the hotel room numbers we used in Russia for a few months after the trip, too.  Still got some of them.

I occasionally feel like I'm cheating, heh.

I remember the lyrics to every song on my ipod, 904, and quite a few others that play on my favorite radio stations. Useful information like when my assignments are due? Drains out like water through a sieve.

[Heron TSG]

I keep all of my mathematical knowledge in fractals that I draw in my head using algorithms and imaginary pens.

Other stuff I just remember and sort like a filing cabinet, only sometimes the patterns get really convoluted.

"Francium? Yeah, that blew up a bathtub in that one video. It's the most explosive alkaline metal. Gilgamesh? Epic. Who was the Queen of the Amazons? Well, the amazon river is a river, and rivers are inhabited by Hippopotami, and thus Hippolyta."

Working on an obsidian fortress in Minecraft... it's making my eyes hurt a bit :/  Also annoyed at how inflexible portals are.  They only appear in the usual 2x3 sections, so my giant glowing purple walls will have some obsidian interruptions.  Trying to learn how to use redstone is a big problematic too, the wiki looks informative but confusing on this subject.  Some of us just don't think like electricians, ok?

[Rose]

Are you an a multiplayer server? I can help you with redstone.

[Euld]

Sadly no, this one is solo.  I do have one redstone project in mind though.  I need a pressure plate that will somehow activate a device that will push lava close to some wood, setting the wood on fire.  Can pistons do that?

[Dsarker]

I remember lots of stuff too. Usually trivia. Never can remember how I learned it. Sometimes it annoys me with tiny details and I feel compelled to find out the rest.

You can't push source blocks, but you could start with a piston extended, and have it retract to release the flow, like a floodgate~

[Scaraban]

Fuck you, Reddit, I needed sleep tonight.

[KaelGotDwarves]

That wasn't because of my post in the happy thread was it?

[Truean]

Awww thank you, I appreciate that. It was a little sad at times, but always a good book.

Heard through grapevine that guy went drinking instead of on our second date... [sigh]. Its from a source I really trust too, o rare thing. Cell phone camera photo, complete with timestamp.... I think I just lost out to booze. Should I be flattered or insulted [awkward attempt at laughing]? Meh. I'm gonna tell myself I looked fabulous while it was being done. (Don't anyone correct me... ).
