Olwen is resurrecting the false memory meme.

I don't require that you post this on your own journal, though it's fun, but yeah, invent some memory about you and me, something that did not happen, and leave a comment about it here.

Seeing it on Olwen's LJ reminded me of the end of the day on Friday when Nicole asked Amanda and I if we had exciting weekend plans and we said no 'cause we're dull, and I joked that I could make something up so she could live vicariously, and she said yes please, that she had to go to a conference this weekend and so needed to live vicariously; she said that she just needed the stories, that they didn't have to be *true.*


[P.S. LJ seems to be holding some of the comments left on my journal hostage.  So in case this is a system-wide glitch, a reminder of the Recent Comments feature.  I believe it displays the most recent 10 for free users and the most recent 50 for paid users.]

Surely you remember that time that I taught you how to drive in a cow pasture in New Hampshire, and how you didn't check to see how much gas we had.

But I think the most memorable thing was how you slept with that old farmer, just so we'd have a roof over our heads for the night. That's my Elizabeth, so adoring of everyone she meets. I can see why you changed your major to biology when we got back. ;)

You left out the part about how I made you take me to a strip club to help me get over the grossness and you let me molest you so the skeevy manager would leave me alone but we both know you really enjoyed it :)

Yes, even then I noticed your repression. ;)

Well, I was always fond of that time when we went to New York, and we were going to go to the MET, and you were like "subway maps are for losers, I totally know how to get there" and of course you didn't and we ended up in Queens! It was sad. But then we found that little cafe with the amazing cheese cake, and flirted with the boys behind the counter so we didn't have to pay for it!

But I did really want to see Monet.

[omg, I actually did go the wrong way on the subway in NYC once and accidentally ended up in Queens. And MFA Boston totally has better Monet than the Met.]

Yeah, but we did see that awesome graffiti. Sure it was no Impressionist masterpiece, but who knew spraypaint came in so many shades of neon? And taking up the entirety of one side of a warehouse?
