alzheimers, here I come
I find I can't remember words...that makes me sooooo mad. Names, I could care less, I can always fake my way through not remembering your name, thats a talent I developed after being in the music business for so many years and perfecting remembering you when I really don't. It's pretty harmless, cause about 5 min into the conversations, I'm in my head going, "ohhh, thaaaat's where I met you!"
However, knee deep in a conversation and you want to make a valid point, only you can't remember the specific name of the thing having to do with your point....you're screwed. Well, at least your credibility is, people (ok, my boyfriend, Joe) are looking at you like "I KNEW you didnt know what the hell you were talking about". And since he always has to be right, this gives him ammunition...which only succeeds in pissing me off further. lol.
When you think you're really losing it just keep in mind that there are many more people in much much worse situations than you are. Some of them very close to you. If you can't think of anyone in a more screwed up situation than you, drop me a note and I'll give you a couple of examples. :)
