Okay, It's Late... This Is Freaking Me Out...

[SPKrazy]

Apparently I saw the movie "Underdog" with my son... I don't remember seeing it.

I can remember talking about parts of it with a friend when she reminded me of that.

However, I can't remember seeing the movie.

I thought my son was mixed up... but his mother confirmed that I had indeed taken him to that movie.

I don't drink alcohol so that isn't it.

So yeah, it is freaking me out. I work with people who don't remember things. I don't remember lots of little things, pieces of information, or where I left something sometimes.

But to forget going to a movie fairly recently...

:shrug:

1. Could just be it was a totally forgettable movie?

Maybe you slept through it?

:shrug:

[SPKrazy]

4. possible

on both counts

[From The Ashes]

2. Stress maybe?

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

5. perhaps

:hug:

not had anything else happen like that

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Southpawkicker...

Maybe it was really truly not memorable?

Hm...

I dunno, sweetie...

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

6. maybe so

i dunno either

:hug:

7. If you see it again it'll probably come back to you

I've bought a book twice because I didn't remember that I'd already bought and read it- it was dullsville enough that I was halfway through before I remembered that I'd read it already and given my copy away because it sucked.

Our brains misfile stuff all the time, and if we don't bother thinking about it again (as with blah books and movies) we don't create alternate paths to get to that information.

Anyhow, that's my theory. Unless it happens all the time I wouldn't freak out about it.

[SPKrazy]

9. it's a good theory and one that i agree with

and it doesn't happen all the time in fact this is a first

thanks

[Fleshdancer]

8. I have memory problems when I'm sleep deprived

Have you been overly stressed? Sleep problems?

[SPKrazy]

10. yes

and yes

[Lethe]

11. sleep deprived does it for me

if i dont get 8-9 hours sleep my memory suffers greatly

[SPKrazy]

14. yeah i get that

just a whole movie missing

seems strange to me

[Lethe]

15. maybe it wasnt that great a movie

:D

[SPKrazy]

19. very possible

:shrug:

[crim son]

12. How long ago was this?

If it more than a year ago then I'd say forget it. If not, then it's stress and meds and nothing more or less.

[SPKrazy]

13. Within the last couple of months I guess

whenever Underdog came out

probably right crimmie

[crim son]

21. Possibly my friend.

We have many shared qualities. Thing is, we are both in circumstances where personal strength, and not fate, is what we must rely on. I'm totally failing. You?

[SPKrazy]

23. gawd, don't ask me that tonight

i feel like personal strength has failed today, although in reality that isn't true.

after all, i put together the Wii that I got today :P

didn't think i could :eyes: don't know why i didn't think i could

and I functioned well as a human otherwise during the day...

yet i still feel failed in many ways...

[crim son]

27. Pawpicker I wouldn't ask for anything.

It's just my stupid perspective. Pay no attention. :loveya: :hug:

You are not failed, I know that.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Don't freak, dearheart

It's OK to forget some things...and jst because it's something you did with your son, you have had a lot of major changes happening that just made Underdog not priority for remembering at the moment.

Meanwhile...view the movie trailer...and maybe you will remember :hi: :hug:

[SPKrazy]

18. hmmm

I can't tell if I remember seeing previews or if pieces of the movie I remember?

Oh well, maybe you are right...

:hug:

thanks!

[Lethe]

17. some people would pay cash money to forget

drink from the waters of Lethe and forget, forget all the failure and pain....forget everything

all gone with a draught of Lethe

[SPKrazy]

20. well yeah

but this is just Underdog

:P

I'll take a draught of Lethe please, to go... :D

[Lethe]

22. maybe the producers of Underdog will partake

LOL
:D

[Indi Guy]

24. I've read the entire thread. If this kind of thing doesn't happen again, I wouldn't worry about it

If it does, get yourself checked out. There a number of benign factors that can screw with the memory.

[SPKrazy]

25. thanks

i will indeed if it happens again

:hi:

[Indi Guy]

26. YW Have A Great New Year...

:)

[Der Blaue Engel]

28. I've been doing that a lot recently

I think it's a combination of forgettable movies and mental distraction. I'm juggling too much in my brain these days with the net effect of absorbing nothing.

It happens a lot with my Netflix DVDs, too. I'll put one in and get nearly all the way through it and then realize I've already watched it. :wtf:
