I WISH I COULD REMEMBER BEING YOUNG
 

It would be SO cool if you could remember your childhood. Cus I honestly cannot remeber SHIt from my childhood not a single thing. Anyone else have this or am i the only one?:hmm:

Long term memory is intact. My short term memory blows. And for those who scream "DRUGS!".....no my friend, I had shitty bad term memory from the moment I had my first concussion.

In a coma for a day, had to drill to release pressure on the inside (water on the brizzain). The docs say I didn't have damage to the hippocampus, but my short-term memory is *terrible*.

Ever seen memento? I'm one step away from being that guy. And when I develop alzhiemers (its runs in my family), i'll not only remember short term, but long term too. Thank you heredity!

Hmm. I have a lot of childhood memories. Some of them are extremly clear...like, I can remember what people were wearing. Others are more fuzzy recollections that are almost surreal. Like, I have memories dating as far back as age three. Most of them were significant events (my brother being born, my dad getting kicked in the face by a horse, etc.) As I grew up, my memories are of more day-to-day activities.

Its a shame you can't remember your first crush on a girl. Playing with your friends. Going to school for the first time. The first time you went to see any sports in person. Just think back, something has to come up.

I just hope you didn't have a terrible childhood and you are blocking it out.

Glad

I remember damn near anything except incredibly routine and uninteresting things, like eating chips or throwing shit at cars as they drove through t parking lot from my cool network of vush forts...yes I had jack shit to do so I made about 15 miniforts in various bushes, then Jr. High came, hot damn boobs were fun.

edit: I mean their boobs, I'm a non-homosexual manly man who is currently eating an apple! That is green, they are better than all, macintosh aren't too good.

WERE?!?

I can't remember anything in extreme detail (like what people were wearing) but I can remember the basics (what was being talked about, what happened, etc.).

Must suck to have a crappy long-term memory.

It sucks that most people don't remember their childhood. I remember from my childhood watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and junk like that. Transformers were the thing back then too. Damn I miss those old Transformers.....

Haha I can remember entire episodes of Transformers and all that cool shit before focus groups, targeted audiences, and socially relevent bullshit became the new prerequisites for any new episode of anything. In the 80s the media turned inconceivabley stupid. But yeah, boobs were fun. Much fun.

They're not fun anymore?

:\

:-(

I permenantly scratched that itch on my nuts as now I find researching Quantum Mechanics more fun than boobs. Sex still reigns supreme, I'm not gay, I'll die before I ever become a Unich.

i remember usually the things that had a big impact on me....girls,sports,etc.etc.

some stuff is gone completely....so i guess it didn't mean that much at the time.

we we're just kids soakin' in as much as we could.can't possibly remember it all.

i'm still tryin' to get information in me...and i don't always remember everything.

i don't want too either.

One problem with an extremely good memory is you never have a clear concience.

the furthest memory i can easily recall, is about age 3...and as i have become older, it has become more memories of important things...falling in love...a good movie...lol...but i have bad short term...i am a list queen...

My first memory is looking up from a crib and trying to move my fingers but finding the action to be quite tiring and difficult. What was going on in my head at the time was very odd.

Anywho...

this thread inspired me to make a "What's your first memory? thread... since this one doesn't seem to have that goal :)

Well my long term memory is very poor as well.. I can hardly remember anything longterm-- barely the names of the schools i went to, or my friends... I often meet people who claim to have been friends. It's really strange.

I'm surprised that so many say they can't remember their childhood very well. This is news to me. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Whaddya want 3-D Holograms with surround sound?
Memories aren't movies...

I remember back to age 2 in some instances.

I think it's sad sometimes when I play with my 7 month old daughter. She seems to be having such a good time and learning every moment, but it's sad that she won't remember a second of it.

Just about everything from age 12 and under seems to be lost from my memory.

I bet all that hard work caused you to fill your diaper! :lol:

well my childhood was a blur and i'm only 20.
i remember in pictures.
but nothing too detailed like what i was wearing.
i can remember scenery and landmarks more so than age or the clothes i wear. memory is subjective and i believe a lot of the 'memories' i have are just from my mom or oldtime friends telling me things they remember.. to which i then create an image of what they're describing and call it my own memory.

When I first read the original post of this thread, I thought to myself that I could remember my early childhood fairly well, but now that I think about it, I can't really remember much from before I was 10 or so. (I'm 22 now.) I have memories going back as far as 4, or possibly younger, but most of them are very faint. For some reason I find this kind of disturbing. :/
