Ok, so this really isn't an ode. For one, I've never really written an ode so I'm not exactly sure how I would do it...but maybe someone out there will feel inspired and write one as a comment to this post.
Basically I just wanted to say that I have reminded myself once again of the fact that I'm such a procrastinator. It's amazing how school will clue you in to a deeper understanding of self.
Oh, and I've also come to grips with the fact that I am the worst at remembering people's names. I HAVE GOT TO GET BETTER AT REMEMBERING PEOPLE'S NAMES. I should make it a personal goal to not have to ask anyone their name again after meeting them or something.
Today after Doc History I was walking to my Media Literacy class and saw 3 people whom I recognized, but for the life of me couldn't put a name with the face. Each of these 3 people waved, smiled, said hi, and called my BY NAME. Now, granted...I do realize that my name is...well, I'll say it's the perfect balance of unique (let me expound upon that thought.) What I mean by the perfect balance of unique isn't that it's just amazing and the most perfect name ever, what I mean is that it is unique (true), but not so unique that it's completely foreign to most people and therefore extremely difficult to remember. In fact, I've found that it's extremely easy for people to remember my name. In some ways, this is great. In other ways...well, it's not so great. Why? Well because it makes me feel even worse when I can't remember the person's name, but they remember mine. Aghhh!
Please forgive me if I forget your name. :(

I love you Nancy! I mean Yahtzee... or... crap.
i can't even remember what your name is right now. so, no big deal.
i am awful with names too. i have to think of stupid little phrases in order to remember after just one time. thus, in my head, people have names like aesop rick.
I met this girl once named Nancy and I could only remember her name because it was like yours, only with an N. Sad story, but so true.
I seem to have the opposite problem. I remember other peoples face, names, how I met them--but they never remember me or my name.
I think my name is easy to remember and unique but apparently lots of people have a hard time remembering it or me...
kimberly,
that is a sad story...wait, I mean Kylee. j/k :)
I don't see how anyone could forget your name...let alone forget you.
So you know how we were talking movies the other day? Well, you can now find an inventory of all of the ones I own on my blog (a few posts down, very long). So now you can see which Miyazake films I have!
