For example, I was just watching Viva La Bam (great show) and about a minute into commercails I was thinking, "What show was I watching?". I couldn't think of it. I was juts watching it, and enjoying it, yet I couldn't remember what it was (Untill it started up again). I was really trying my hardest to remember.

Or I'll be driving down a random dirt road. There's reallly no landmarks to detect where you are on the road. This road takes a few minutes to get down. Sometimes, I'll randomy forget where I am. I won't have a clue if I'm about a minute away from the end, or a few seconds.

Etc etc.. I totaly forget the recent past.

I never really bothered to think about it before we started covering memory in my physcology course.

But do I just have a memory disorder or is this normal?
I've voting for the memory disorder thing because it seems kinda unnormal.

Either it's normal, or we both have a memory disorder...

I do that when I'm tired, or not focusing.

Stop drinking bong-water;) :p

That's the least of my worries, sadly.

happens to me all the time.

forget everything.

it happens to me too. Also i'll walk into a room and completly forget why I went in there.

Most of the time it involves me thinking about something else. Maybe I need to focus more.

Now we compare the people who post "Yeah happens all the time" to all the weed advocates from the other thread and voila :p

I drift during conversations (i.e., my mind will wander while I actively participate in a conversation). What happened to you on TV has not yet happened to me (that I can recall).

I drift off during class.

I forget what it is i'm supposed to be doing all the time.

Sometimes when I read a book I start to think of something else but keep on reading. After some time I realize that I've been reading the whole page but can't remember what it was I read.
I hate that!

I don't get it. :p

Well *everyone* does that

Aww. you people are no fun. I was hoping I had some disorder of some type! Now it's normal

I was going to say something quite profound... but I really can't remember what it was.

...what was this thread about again?

I think it was something about monkeys... I can't remember.

If everyone has the disorder, then it's normal, but it doesn't mean its a good thing.

...
I just forgot what I wanted to post.

heh

It only happens to the minds of the people who are too close to the penicillin...

and whats the deal with 2% milk

Happens almost daily... usually after I give up on trying to remember I start playing a game, sometimes it comes back on right as I get up to turn on the Xbox or PS2

I forget everything..I have forgotten that "today" was B-day of Mom/Dad/B-friend/friend/relative and everyday stuff like: 1 loosing track of what I was in the process of doing, 2 : what I did anywhere fro 5 min ago to 17 years ago , 3 : what I should be doing, 4 : what I should have done.......so ...ya...my memory sucks...it gets me in trouble alot...I forgot if there was a piont to this...
