What's the strongest association you have between a scent and a memory?
Mine is kinda sad. The smell of hospices, and to a smaller extent, hospitals, reminds me of my mom's illness. Right after she died I could conjure up the smell myself just thinking about it. When my grandfather died in 2000 he ended up in the same hospice she had been in when I was 12. He was even in the same room she had been in. That was really hard, going back there again. It still smelled the same.
On a happier note, when I was really little, maybe 2 or 3, I had a
little purple rubbery horse that smelled like lavender. It was tiny. I
think it might have been a keychain at one point. I have a very clear
memory of searching all over the house one day for this horse and
finally discovering I had been holding it in my hand the whole time. An
early prediction of things to come! But lavender still make me think of
that horse.
What's the most recent vivid dream or nightmare that you remember?
I dreamt I was an awesome soccer player last night....which is weird since I've never played soccer in my life.
What's the oldest digital camera photo you have on your computer? When is it from? Let's see it!
The first picture we took with my little Canon Elph 2.0 megapixel camera in August of 2002? Come on! Who else could it have been?
Who's the most famous (at least in your opinion) person that you've met? What was the experience like?
Without a doubt: Bill Gates. I even shook his hand and said "Nice to meet you." I swear I heard it jingle.
