Ok, so this post is a little bit late, and I blame that on school =] Which actually isn't so bad, since I have the willpower to keep the promises I made to myself to 'be bothered'.
Anyway, this is going to be a kind of abstract idea sort of post, with little relevance to my actual life, so if you're a stalker, this is my way of warning you not to waste your time.
Now memory. An odd thing that seems to be different for everyone, yet identical at the same time. I'm particularly interested in how it looks when you try to 'visualise' your memory.
In my case, memory is... well I'll try to describe how it looks first. At first, it's like a large empty white space, for those who have seen DBZ, it's a lit like the hyperbolic time chamber thing. Then when I try to remember something, a number of blobs of bright rainbowy light balls appear and kinda float around together, and their colours just shift really quickly (each one different) until they find a combination that vaguely looks familiar.
Once it reaches that stage, they kinda "lock" into that colour combination and start shifting through all the shades, once again 'locking in' the correct version.
Finally, the whole image goes into focus, and I have a nice accurate picture of whatever I'm remembering, or a picture of something I associate with it. All of this happens in a kind of slow motion in my mind, even if it was barely a few seconds in real life.
I like my memory =] It's awesome.
