Object-Oriented MemoryThis weird thing has started happening since I moved out of my last place. Now when I have to give my old address, I'm reverting to a really, really old previous address that starts with the same number. I've probably said "1022 Doris Court" about a million times over the past 3 years. But now, I start saying "1082..." which is the street address for my first apartment in Boston - 1082 Commonwealth Avenue. It's like my mind is seeking for a previous address (not current addresss) which starts with 10...and that's what comes out.
Or, I'm getting senile. That's entirely possible.
I don't think you can appreciate the significance of this without knowing just how far back 1082 goes. Here are all my addresses since then:
1082 Comm Ave.
7 Carol Ave.
89 W. Cedar St.
488 Columbus Ave.
81 Worcester St.
135 Winchester St.
279 Vinton St.
876 Fellsway
59 Forest St.
299 Fellsway West
143 Church St.
1809 Golden Gate Ave.
1257 Regent St.
1022 Doris Ct.
Yeah. I move a lot. But really - I've said "1082... I mean, 1022" 3 times. It's weird.
So (e:Paul) - when are you going to start REMEMBER Boston and REMEMBER San Francisco?

Human memory is selective. We remember the good stuff and forget the rest. It is likely that you have strong positive memories from 1082 Commonwealth Ave, and hence your brain clings fondly to that address.

negotiations proceedingI just signed and faxed our counter-counter offer, which is closer than we've gotten so far. I think I'm actually hoping we don't get this one, but I don't really have a good reason for that. So I'll let fate decide.
Meanwhile, I'm first runner up for my first choice (on my own). That's WAY closer than I thought I'd get. I'll know in two days if I get to wear the crown. I guess I'm just more comfortable buying on my own and not having to answer to anyone else.
And if that's not enough to keep track of, the offer date for my fallback property is tomorrow. I have an offer written up and ready to go. I'm really feeling like it's out of my hands whether I'll pull the trigger or not. Weird.
It would be good to have a place to call home come Oct 31st though. That much I know.
p.s. - hmmm, 17791 views in 1 year. That seems pretty good. I guess I was pretty prolific in the early days though, so that's prolly why.
