Sometimes it's fun to be a goldfish

Although being a goldfish is hard (see below), sometimes it can be fun. It's fun because I love surprises and when you have no memory you get surprises all the time! Most people can't really surprise themselves. I, however, am a bit different. Sometimes I send myself an email with an important document attached as a way of transfering it to another computer. Usually about 1 minute afterwards, I get excited by the "You've got mail" pop-up on my computer. I think maybe I am getting something exciting to distract me from work like a nice email from a friend or the latest deals from Amazon. I open the mail only to find that the email is from myself. I've got to admit I usually get a little disappointed, but at least it was a surprise, for a few seconds I had no idea who the email was from.....

I usually get great birthday presents. I feel people can read my mind. I will tell them just after I have opened a fantastic present "Thanks! how on earth did you know that I wanted one of these?" just to be told "you told me you wanted that last month". Not only do I have no memory of telling them I wanted it, I sometimes don't even remember wanting it, but when it is presented infront of me it seems like a great idea.

I really love surprises, and that's why it's not always bad to be a goldfish.
