the way the kitchen smelled when Nana was cooking
where all my hippie clothes went
when and why I smoked my first cigarette
I'm sure there's tons more.
I like your list - especially the ice cream.
the first boy I kissed was Arthur and he stuttered and smelled like onions BUT - he was the sweetest boy in school - I love that I realized that even though I was so young.
My shallow bitchy years came later.
Hm. First boy I kissed (as in, seriously)--Detlef. In fact, we're still in touch!
Knitting? Can you ever forget how to do that?
And yeah, grandpa's voice ... it sometimes comes to me in dreams. I also still remember the smell of his pipe and the times when I sat in his lap watching "Star Trek."
Stuff I forgot:
* German poems I memorized in grade school
* the taste of Fleischwurst with hot German mustard
* all my Arabic phrases and vocab from college (*sob* same with Japanese)
* Leif Garrett? Oh man, I actually forgot that I ever had his poster on my bedroom wall. Good thing. ;-)
* the name of the little white poodle who lived next to us when I was 3.
What are some thing that you wish you could forget, but can't? Hehe.
Your turn! What are some things you don’t remember, but wish you did?
What I was going to write. ;)
The first boy I kissed (age 12) was named Billy, and it was a decidedly unsatisfying-knock-your teeth-down-your-throat-in=spite-of-your-braces kiss. I wish I didn't remember it.....LOL
What it sounded like when my dad whistled (it used to bug me but now I miss it).
The first time I rode a bike. I don't remember it at all.
Learning to swim. What did that feel like?
The first time I tasted cake.
i'm still stuck on the strawberry shortcake martini!
I wish I could remember what it is I wish I could remember, he he ...ciao
All the traits that attracted me to my greatest mistake...Then again, I am happy now so those are best forgotten....
• The moment I realized happiness isn't something you purchase.
• The song playing when I realized music incited a joy in me I was incapable of describing with words...only tears.
• The night dreams that reunite me with lost friends.
I would have a much easier time writing a list of things i remember but wish i didn't.
Oooohhh... I like this. You're really going to make me think. I'm going to have to give this some thought and re-comment later!
My new phone number and postal code (after 5 months here!)
* What it felt like to never, ever think about what I look like.
* The feeling of not worrying about money.
* All the Spanish I learned in high school.
My first kiss was Olivier (sigh). A handsome Frenchman residing in Villefranche. Or was it Beaulieu. Oh who cares. He was dashing. If only he hadn't slobbered all over my chin whilst performing a tonsilectomy.
I wish I remembered where the eff I put that CVS coupon.
The first time my husband and I told each other "I love you." My best friend just heard it for the first time from her boyfriend and it really got me thinking...
I adore this post...
Things I don't remember but would like to...my grandfather that I lost when I was 3...my first day of school...how to write computer code :)
I have a good memory, and it's not always a good thing to have. I don't want to remember more, I want to remember LESS. There's a weight to memories, even happy memories. As I get older, carrying so many memories is a challenge.
And the first boy I kissed? I remember his name, I remember the kiss, I remember the way his face looked right before he kissed me. I haven't seen him in 26 years,but we're still in touch!
These are great thoughts! You've got me thinking now ;)
Hope you get to visit Amsterdam one day. It really is a great place. I suggest visiting in May and taking a canal tour.
I'd love to visit your part of Germany one day. Been a few times to the east near the Czech border and would love to see more!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh my goodness the wheels are turnin'
I can't remember a single song the Bay City Rollers sang...but I liked them.
I barely remember the Banana Split Gang.
I don't remember my first kiss
and like you I do NOT know why but I love Leif Garret and bought Tiger Beat Magazine to get his posters!
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.
Congrats to you and Max!
