memory like an elephant

{i'm on a roll with these blog posts lately...sorry if it's overwhelming}

with friends, i tend to start conversations like this: "remember that time..."
especially with people that i don't have TOO much in common with, or haven't had a lot of time to talk with them/get to know them.
and a lot of time, even with really close friends, they're amazed with how much i remember, details even, dates and times and who was there. (but even at times my memory is limited)
perhaps this explains why i take less photos than i'd like, because my memory is strong enough to remember even the most insignificant detail (although, pictures DO help me remember)
the pro/con to having the memory of an elephant though is that i can fall asleep to the memories in my head as if they're a filmstrip of my life (cool!) but i can also remember things that cause my heart to hurt (even years later).
if there were a way for me to take a snapshot of the memories in my brain and post them everywhere, i would (to fill in the blanks that the lack of photographing leaves behind)
