That was just a general example of stuff that's happened before with friends. Certainly not people I do not know, or random parties with people. Although that's happened too, and I either just keep mum, or when asked directly just say I don't remember much from back that far or something.

My question was kind of more indirectly pointed to remember core or big events in life. Sometimes they flood in, sometimes they don't and at awkward moments or just simply wrong times to be remembering something. Fortunately not too many traumatic memories come up at the wrong times. It's really awkward to be obviously be thinking something unpleasant while with mates at a pub. I grimace and look obviously troubled... so. :X

You see, I am not a liar, and i hate to lie to people. Yes it's my business and stuff, but I am a honorable honest man, who tries to be as genuine as possible towards people, and generally tries not to be an arsehole. So when poeple ask me stuff, I kick my self when I have to lie to protect the part who's having the memory or a hard time with a nasty thought. Then try to comfort him later.

But thanks, flying monkeys. Loosing time just becomes unsettling after you realize you have no idea what you just did for the past two hours or whatever, and you kind have to assume stuff.

And I wish I lived in New York where people are civil. :X
