The title is from the beginning of this song which I happen to like.
Stars - Your Ex-Lover is Dead
(2:58 is my favorite part)
As for my main purpose of this post..
Memories were fine, but you couldn’t touch them, smell them, or hold them. They were never exactly as the moment had been, and they faded with time.

P.S. I Love You
I know that quote clashes horribly with the first quote in my last post, but it kind of reflects how I feel at the moment.
I feel nostalgic, and I want to be a kid again.
I'm worried about forgetting things, so I made a vow to take more pictures, more videos, and write down more memories.
Here are a few, though, that I don't believe I'll ever forget:
1- When I was about 10 years old, my family and I were in Lucerne, Switzerland.
We were at the lake feeding the birds one day, and pretty soon we were down to our last piece of bread, so my older brother Muayyad and I started fighting over it.
He snatched it away from me, crumbled it up, then threw the crumbs at me.
Suddenly…
All the swans and ducks literally CHARGED out of the water, and the pigeons attacked me.
They started pecking and nibbling at me like crazy.
I was screaming my head off.
My family was laughing.
A group of people formed a circle around me and watched the free entertainment.
A random Japanese guy pulled out a camera only slightly bigger than his body, took a picture, then walked on.
And after the debacle was over, I noticed that some gracious pigeon left me a smelly gift on my shoulder.
I cried all the way home.
2- When I was 4 years old, that same brother thought it would be a good idea to practice his barber skills on me. He took me to my parents' bathroom and locked the door. He then proceeded to whip out my dad's razor… and shave my head.
Unfortunately my parents didn't take any photos of the bald me.
I wonder why.
3- About a year ago, four of my friends were sleeping over. We got the midnight munchies so we decided to order Domino's Pizza.
We wanted an order of Chicken Kickers.
Except we couldn't remember what they were called. This is how the conversation went.
"So we want… 1 vegetable pizza. 1 cheese pizza. And one Popcorn Chicken please."
"Ummm we don't have those…"
*another girl grabs the phone*
"What do you mean you don't have those? Pop Chicken!"
"Sorry ma'am… We don't have that on our menu."
*another girl grabs the phone*
"She meant Chicken Pop!"
"No ma'am.. I'm pretty sure we don't have that either."
*I get excited because I'm certain I remember what they're called and I grab the phone*
"NO THEY MEANT CHICKEN BALLS!"
*surge of euphoria*
".................. (silence)"
"… Oh. Guess not…"
4- Then we walked all the way to the main gate of the compound I used to live in, to pick up our order.
We had to pass by the main street.
We got the weirdest looks ever.
Maybe because we all looked a bit like this.
Maybe because we all looked a bit like this.
(my sweet sister and I)
We actually put on our pyjama's specifically to walk to the gate dressed like that.
Good times, good times.
That's enough memories for now.
Tell me about one memory you'll never ever forget!

You reminded me of this; I was in Baskin Robins' with my sister, we were waiting for our turn and I was really into what I was saying to sis, so the guy asked me what I'd like? I just pointed to parlines n cream my fav, and continued talking, REALLY INTO what I was saying! So he interrupted me again and he said, what would you like ma'am? (as in, how much)
I said, I like 2 balls and nuts.
I turned to sis, then we burst out in laughted!! :p

I've suddenly got amnesia and can't recall a single memory. whatsoever. not even from earlier today.
Ummm.... I ate a chicken casadia.
Ummmmm....
yea....
I'll be back.
Yalla bs 3shanek, a memory:
A few weeks ago I went out in our garden to do some exercise just as the sun was rising. After jogging I started playing outside by myself. It was wonderful! I fell in love with the outdoors all over again. I started twirling and dancing a very stupid dance and singing. I think I made up my own lyrics but it was still fun. I had promised someone to do something so I had to go back in. I felt like a five year old whose mother is telling them that it's getting dark and I should stop playing. That day was one of the best days ever! I'm glad my inner child is still there.
Ahh.. I never want to grow up :(
