Saw this topic somewhere, and it's really interesting.
i would be glad actually, because there is so much stuff i want to forget about. but i would write down all the important stuff that's happened in my life, and tell my friends not to forget me.

i wouldnt like it because it would be weird living with my family but i wouldnt know them.

I'd tell my family and some friends not to forget me. Some other people I really just don't care for.
And I'd write down any memories that are worth keeping. Though, there's only one right now that I only care for. So pretty much..you can earase my memories and I'll probably be thankful for that.

I REALLY WANT TO LOSE ALL MY MEMORIES xDDDD
I have a painful past, i want to forget them all the pain and the regrets XD

No the only point in doing that is if you have more bad memories then good ones i think it would suck u wouldnt know any of ur friends or family... u would probly regret it after you had it done

I would tell my friends dearest to me, and my family, write some notes on what id like to remember, and live out my wildest dreams with a friend, because in my next memory, i might not want to do those same things :P

In some ways its good.But some ways its bad.But if i was gonna lose my memory I would do things before.But afterwards you get to start all over.

I would probably do lots of things I'd never do under normal circumstances... I mean, hey, the guilt ain't gonna stick, so why not? As long as it wasn't hurting anyone else. I would write myself a long note, telling myself about my past in the way I wish I could remember it... I'd leave out a ton of bad things, and only give the basics of the truth.. The rest? I'd probably make it up. I'd make sure to leave myself a big note, saying how friendly I am, and how much I talk, and how I'm not a shy person at all... Just to give me a boost.
I'd welcome the chance to start over. A new beginning would be great. Not just because of things I'd like to forget, but because it would give me a chance to be whatever I want to, and do what I really want without my past and my conscience hanging on.

I would burn myself, rather then learn Driver3 Controls again.

I'd probably boot up my PC and go to WoW by instinct and then wonder what the hell is this. :P
Slade - August 26, 2005 03:12 PM (GMT)
I don't know what i'd do, probably just do things as normal, and go out of my mind trying to remember who i am, then finally do and with i didn't remember :P

i would rape some girls......and i wouldnt know what i was doing, and the cops would have to let me go because they will think im a retart

^ Good Idea
I actually thought about this. Id probobly tell everyone I know.. Then sit down and write down everythind memorbil that I can think of.. Get my friends and family to do the same. So then when I lost my memory I could just Grab everything that was written and Read it so its not like I lost everything.
But the more I think about that the more I think Id rather just do the same thing but make them all dreams I really wanted to have. ID right things like I was a amazing artist who was a staright A Student that has made hundreds of amazing computer programs and won prizes for every sport and what not >.>.So when I lose my memory I would read them over and I would think I had done all those amazing things before why can I do them again so it would basicly make me a better person.

I would build a room and lock myself in it. Then, I would decorate the room with everything that represented the person I want to be. I'd write essays, draw pictures, put on music...all to influence the future, blank-canvas person I would become.
That's the idealistic side of me. The practical side wants to know how much of my memory will be lost. If I lose everything and start over with a newborn brain, then I need to learn to walk, talk, read, write...everything. I'd have to go back to school. I'd be behind everyone by 16 years. I'd be a complete social outcast. If that were the case, I'd kill myself.
If I only lost part of my memory, I'd probably do the idealistic thing, but it would still conflict with my past memories and stuff. I'd still be behind in school. I'd still probably want to die.
In all likelihood I'd just say goodbye to everyone who mattered to me, do a few things I've always wanted to do, and then kill myself. Losing your memory is losing who you are, and there's no point in injecting this world with a retarded 16-year-old girl who has no memory.

Depends on the type of memory loss.
If it's short-term memory loss, I'd be just fine, I'd know how to do math, and write and drive a car, and I'd still like all the same things and blah de blah de blah. Probably end up doing like that guy in Memento, write everything on little notes, use tatoos if nessicery and hopefully trust the right people. . .
But if it's like forgetting everything then, well, wouldn't I just be vegatable? At least it's another in the majority then, only 3000 to go until 70 percent! As Sathe said losing your memory would be losing who you are, but still, you gotta at least try! Write notes or something! Just killing yourself would be the easy way out, the path that someone who can't even trust themselves take!
You could just use basic thinking skills to just know what you like. I mean if you lose your memory overnight and wake-up in your room, you'd know what you like, based on what's in the room. Your opinion on something wouldn't change, you'd just forget what you thought about it.
Anyhoo, after yet another long ramble. . .I don't know, I'd probably just live life normally, it's not hard to form new memories on old stuff.

I agree with maggie...I would probably kill myself...even though I hate most of my memories, they are still the reason I am the person today...there would be no way to bring those memories back so therefore you would never be the same...and frankly I like me...I don't want to be any other way...
