Memories


Recommended Posts

saw this great thread on SZ, decided to start one here...this is a thread for you to write down things that you have fond/bad/bittersweet memories of. Might be a short phrase or word association, or song lyric nobody else knows the story behind but you and the related parties. Don't have to go into details, just doing this so if you ever come across another one it would help you remember if you aren't into writing journals and just keep scraps of paper that you later forget like me.

for me -

- Chek Lap Kok airport before it was built, Jay-Z Vol. 1 and late night drives

- "Han Bing"

- You're so money baby and you don't even know it

- 'U don't have to call'

- playing the devil in one hell of a night

- the conversation about "I don't want to be a product of my environment, I want my environment to be a product of me", finding myself in the Barney's windows

- Rainy Saturday afternoon in Central escalators with Cynthia "i can't even finish this plate"

- "Despite what's happened in the past decade, I'm becoming just like you and the traces are already obviously."

Once lived in a house with a heated indoor pool surrounded by a garden. The walls enclosed huge glass windows, and the view was our backyard/Calvin & Hobbes forest. I remember getting locked inside of this literal biosphere during the winter; the snow was fallin', and I was chillin' in the Jacuzzi...waiting for someone to switch off the stereos and realize I was stuck inside. When I finally got out, I looked like a raisin, and probably had a heart rate faster than a Kenyan, but all I could think about was the Bulls game and the Michael Jordan project I had to finish for school. I rushed upstairs, and locked myself in another room and stared straight at that TV until the game ended. I had mad diarrhea that night too.

oh shit, short and simple word associations? O.K.

customs lines

taglines of cheesy horror movies while browsing the racks at Blockbuster

old gattis pizza

taxi horns back in the motherland, sleepin in the back, zipping between cows and soldiers

when the DW theater used to be the main venue

lost on a floating market in BKK, holding onto a snake

running away from a French kid in Spain

a VHS copy of the 50 Best Goals of All Time. Watching my brother chuck it out of a window. Used to watch that everyday when I was a kid.

eatin' aloo gobi paratha at this indian mom n' pop diner, but they closed in 95

finding remnants of a secret society on campus, collecting, looking for members, not snitching.

staying up all night for chemistry exams, but playing paper basketball in study rooms instead

I tend to remember most of my flight delays, because I have so little to do...wandering around terminals, building pillow forts without pillows, people-watching the freaked-out talkative antsy businessmen worried about their seating

o.k., that's enough. kbye
