8988 - tues

[scottobear]

Went to the in-laws after work for a junk-food delight - veggie chili dogs, fries, and corn. I was totally beat - BHK and I fairly ate and ran. About all I did before going to bed was make a few game moves... didn't even really read before hitting the sack.

Memory Issues- and it's not like I did a lot of drinking, drugs or had blunt head trauma as a kid. That I recall, anyhow.

I don't remember a lot about my childhood. Sometimes, it seems like I only recall stuff from high-school onwards, and it's been that way for a very long time. Sure, there's the odd tv show, or family outing... but the majority is missing without something to spark a memory. Written journals help some.

I don't remember when I first learned to read.

I don't really remember when my parents divorced, or how we were told that they were splitting up.

I don't remember getting to the hospital where my father died...how I got there, who was with me. I remember seeing him on the bed, with the monitors running.

I only vaguely remember moving out of the house at 17, over thanksgiving.

I don't remember much of my time spent at home at age 15-16, outside of working on the old Atari 800 bbs.

I don't remember reading many of my childhood books... I remember the stories, but not the actual running of my eyes over the words.

I only remember a few of my classmates, and the bulk of those were in high school. I do remember my friends in first grade, and my fellow safety patrol members in 5th.

I remember members of my social groups - gaming, music, theater, and so on.

I can't remember my fellow boy scouts, but I vaguely remember Mr Pierce, mostly because I went back to the same troop with BA and SJ during their scout phase.

I can remember a few of the gang from Civil Air Patrol... but I can't recall my flight instructor at all. I know it was a man, but I couldn't pick him out of a lineup.

how do they get the bikini on the mechanical bull?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

seriously, I think we'll go, unless we're both totally beat!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Looks like we're missing it tonight - maybe friday is better! not a school nigh.. and not on the night of a college game that packs the region. :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I know we both really want to go, but hopefully next go round will work better.

I didn't remember much of my childhood, until recently. I remembered some fun things, but mostly sad or traumatizing things.

I began digging around in my past recently, and 1 memory found, would trigger other memories. Yay! Also, writing it down in one place, made other memories come out of hiding.

Still..not enough memories to cover a good chunk of missing time, though. :/

Oh, and searching Ebay for old childhood toys, brought back a few memories, too. :))

Also, I hope your bro is okay. ::sigh::

Bro will be as fine as can be expected... I think he's doing well where he is now - a shame he's leaving in november.

I'm glad that some fun things bubbled to the surface - and even though there are sad things, I think that I'd rather know than to not... but maybe I'd feel different dependin on what turned up.

On 9/11 I sometimes find my thoughts drifting back to old times. I have on several occasions wondered what happened to Chris, which in turn for some odd reason today made me think of you. So here I am. I took a peek at your flickr, I was curious. Congrats on your wedding, you have a lovely bride and the two of you look very happy. You look happy and it's not forced, nice.

Well. back in to obscurity for another 6 years.

peace, out.

Thanks. to the best of my knowledge, she walked away from LJ, but is still active on the internet in points elsewhere - I believe that she lives right down the road from me now, but I've not seen hide nor hair of her in ages.

Congrats on your own wedding! BHK and I are truly very happy together - I hope and trust it is the same with you!

Thanks for the interesting and pleasant surprise!
