It happens to everyone and when it does we all feel like crap. No I'm not talking about the occasional flu, though that sucks too. I'm talking about that one person you only met about three times in your life and they come up to you and you can't remember their name even if it was written on their forehead. Yep the occasional "blocked memory syndrome", otherwise known as "I didn't think you were important enough for me to save your name in my memory data base."
Why is it when these people come up to you they say your name all proud of themselves for remembering and want you to reciprocate the gesture? Can't they just take a smile and go on their merry way? No, that'd be too easy!!!
My tale of name remembering torture begins at the bar and no I wasn't drunk. I haven't even finished my first drink when "what's her name" came up to me. All smiles and she gave me a hug and I just kindly smiled back hoping she'd leave. She stayed!!!
Conversation went like this:
"What's her name": "Hey Jen, how's it going?" (Smiles)
Me: "Oh, just fine" (Who the hell is this, and why are they talking to me?)
"WHN": "So, do you remember me?" (Giggles)
Me: "Of course, who could forget you?" (Lying through my teeth)
"WHN": "Are you going to fellowship this week?"
Me: "Yeah, I'll be there." (Aha, a clue!!!)
"WHN": "Me too!!!"
Me: "I'll see you there." (Please leave, please leave, don't make me make-up a name, just leave!!!)
"WHN friend": "Hey their playing our song, let's go."
"WHN": "Okay, I'll see you later then."
Me: "Bye, have fun. (Please get too drunk that you don't come back)
Elisa: "Who was that?"
Me: "Some girl I know from fellowship." (Oh, I have some repenting to do.)
End of Conversation
Next time I'm just going to say I have to use the restroom and hide!!!
