I'm new to this LiveJournal game, so when you click on my "Memories", it says "user has no memories".<\/p>\n
Which suits me fine.<\/p>\n
I do have a terrible trouble remembering names and faces. And this in turn often gets me into terrible trouble with people whom I haven't seen for some time. They take great umbrage if I can't remember their names, or anything about them at all. <\/p>\n
But I can't help it. My brain is connected up so badly. I think Andy Warhol said something similar: that there were chemicals lacking in his brain which other people had and he didn't.<\/p>\n
My ambition is to leave my name to a new syndrome.<\/p>\n
Admittedly, there are some painful, unhappy memories of my past I have deliberately blanked out in order to look myself in the eye of a morning.<\/p>\n
That time I sat through all of the "The Horse Whisperer", for starters.<\/p>\n
My stock apology is the the same as God's Last Message To Mankind, taken from the missing final verse of The Book Of Revelation. This has been lost for centuries, and was only recently discovered by myself in a wet hedge near Brentford.<\/p>\n
I'd better impart it to the world now, before I forget that too:<\/p>\n
<i>Revelation 22:22:
\nAnd I heard the Lord God's last message unto every man:
