My brain is a little bit smart and a little bit dumb. It categorizes things in two categories:
Important- will remember, can recall at any time.
Not important- will forget unless reminded, in which case will recall with perfect clarity.
So you know what's kind of goofy? I can't remember what I ate for dinner last night, or what day my mother's birthday is on, yet I still remember OCs from years and years ago. I remember which one of Gabriel's swords is Justice and which one is Splendor.
How is that even remotely important?
And yet I can't even remember passwords half of the time.
