I remember things. I may not remember peoples' names, but if I have talked to them I will remember their soul and their quirks. I will generally not remember their profession, either.

The benefit is that I will remember your favorite everything, the book we talked about, something you said once, most of what you have said, etc. The downside is that you probably won't. No matter.

In England, everyone knows how everyone they know takes their tea. So, when you make a pot of tea, you milk and sugar accordingly and just bring them a cup, too. My life feels like that all the time about everything. It's not intentional, it is just there. That's why things turn up on your doorstep now and then, and why I so definitely connect people with movies and music and food and such.

It's troubling sometimes because I don't want anyone to think/feel they need to reciprocate. Instead, just laugh when you get a tube of jasmine-flavored toothpaste in the mail and think that it is very like me to remember your favorite flower, and it's hilarious that there it is in toothpaste, and how classic it is that I would send a tube to you when I discovered it existed.

Agreed? Thank you.
