Lying in bed yesternight at about 11:03 and 47 seconds pm, something highly important struck my head and I said to myself "You better write that down, because tomorrow you'll have forgotten it". However, my bed was very comfortable. And I am still young (well, at least I feel young whenever I am not at my job teaching the teenies...). If only I would think very very hard, I would remember. I thought about making knots in my tissue - if only I had a tissue on hand....Next, I thought about twisting my fingers in some odd way so there would be no way around remembering the "highly important thing".
As I don't have the time to evaluate the mental procedures while sleeping, I will skip the 8 hours of sleep and come to current situation and the effect of twisting one's fingers in order to remember what you otherwise would have forgotten.
Now, the good news: I DO remember that I have to think of two things.
I do remember, that is has something to do with my job. I am supposed to bring something along with me when leaving my 34qm apartment in about 20 minutes. I know that I will be deeply annoyed and frustrated in case that I forget it...obviously the twisting method works, yeah me. However, this method lacks one tiny thing. It reminds you that there are things not to be forgotten, but it doesn't reveal any contents. Thus, here I am, knowing that I am sitting very close to the "whatever-it-is" and that I will forget packing it and that I will remember as soon as I am close to my work, having no time to return and get the "whatever-it-is". I know that I will be frustrated in about 50 Minutes, banging my head against the wall and cursing for having a brain that is not even worth to be called a sieve and that I will promise myself that I will never ever try again to prove myself that I am a superbrain...
Got to go...without the "whatever-it-is"...
I my fingers- they still feel kind of dumb.

I know what you mean, so often before falling asleep I have sensational brainwaves about what to put in my blog, but come the harsh light of the morning they dissolve into nothingness and I'll be lucky to remeber that I had even thought of something.
I am glad to hear that it isn't only me who suffers from disappearing thoughts...
By the way - how long will you keep on travelling? Because (one of the things I will never ever forget) I am thinking of my next trip which won't be THAT soon....but in three years from now on :) . At least, that's the plan. I will travel for one year, going back to work for two years, travelling one year, working two years and so on....
Are you on? Meeting up 2010 somewhere????
And - now coming to short-term plans - I will be in Thailand in two months. Are you there????
