TM - 264 - "The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun

You know that saying about how a man never remembers and a woman never forgets? Well, I would just like to say that is so not true. Okay, so the part about women is generally true, but I'll have you know that men remember more than they let on. A lot more in fact.

Oh sure, they forget things like birthdays and anniversaries, but that's only because it's not all about them. See, when it's about us they get this sudden mental block or something, but if it affects them? Well, when it affects them they'll remember it forever.

I mean take for instance this one little disagreement I had with one of my ex's. One tiny mistake and suddenly I'm like the worst woman in existence or something. I mean, he has never let me live it down. It happened over 900 years ago and he still brings it up all the time. In fact, he even brought it up at my wedding!

My WEDDING!

So, don't go telling me they don't remember stuff, because they remember exactly what they want to remember, and trust me when I say that time doesn't affect their memory one little bit.

Oh dear...

I'm assuming everything else went well, however?

Oh it went wonderfully! I just turned Adam into a cartoon Chihuahua for the rest of the reception and all was well.
