A Spoonful of Erm...What's your name again?

FYI: Having to ask for a someone's name more than twice does not promise the closest or smoothest relationship with that person. You probably already know this through experience, as I do.

Sometimes I like to pretend I can be like President Monson in the way he can remember every person he's ever met. Then I completely forget somebody's name that I've known for several months and I realize that I'm just not that good. I'm better than most, and I do make an effort, but I'm still not on par.

I once read that the way to remembering someone's name is to make them important to you. I totally believe it. Which means I need to care about certain people more. Usually if I find someone the slightest bit interesting, it's easy enough to remember his/her name. So why can't I remember this person's name? No clue. Maybe it's some kind of mental block I have, and if that's the case...I hate you subconscious.

I have two dates this week. This is becoming a semi-frequent occurrence. I credit it to being 20. Being 20 makes all the difference. More on this later. This week is crazy busy and I'm not going to be able to go see Peter Pan like I want to. Unless Friday night? Any takers?
