Always Anna

I had a ton of good ideas for blog entries… but I forgot to write them down. And since my memory is about as good as a freakin’ goldfish, I clearly forgot what the heck they were.

I know a lot of people forget things… but I think my memory problems go beyond normal. There are huge chunks of my life, and major events that I don’t really remember. And I was sober for most of them! I heard once that memories need to be “practiced” – if you don’t tell them as stories and constantly think about them, you tend to lose them. And the only reason I remember that is because my girly crush, Natalie Portman, said something along those lines in her “Inside the Actor’s Studio” interview.

For a while, inspired by Alexis, I kept track of what had happened in a day in my planner. So, every morning, I’d write a brief recap of the day before – things like “Fell off chair in caf @ b-fast. SO embarassed. Went to PT w/E&N & got wasted. Wore snakeskin halter.” But, as with so many other things, my laziness got in the way of my records.

Maybe I should start keeping track again. And carrying a notepad for good blog ideas.
