i have a very distinct memory of a photograph that was taken when i was younger than 2 years old. i hadnt ever seen it, and i was chatting with my parents about "the time i was sitting in the car seat in the backyard, petting the chickens." ...to which they dug out the old photo. they couldnt believe i had an recollection of that event.
i can remember stupid things....like eating tator tots on the 3rd sunday of october in 1984, but i forget people's birthdays all of the time.
since ive been little, i keep memories in my head by playing a mental "game" when i get bored. i'll start thinking about an event of the past...and then tell myself "i wasn't thinking about _____ right now." it allows complete free thought, and it's funny where my train of thought goes with regards to remembering past events.
