I remember as a kid thinking that fish sticks weren't mouth cancer.

You're so bizarelly selective with your food stances.

I remember:
Thinking that the world really was black & white in the old days. Thinking that placing a metal coat hanger covered in foil on your TV antenna was normal. Thinking that having VHF channels 38 and 56 being introduced to augment the regular UHF channels 2, 4, 5, and 7, was the greatest technical achievment ever. Thinking that as long as I became really awesome at guitar I'd be a rockstar. Thinking that Kathy Reilly was the best lay I'd ever have. Thinking that puking up a 5th of Jack Daniels was the sickest I'd ever feel. Thinking that sitting in the front seat of a van that crashed into a telephone pole was the worst pain I'd ever feel. Thinking that The Bat was of this earth.

You've got VHF and UHF backwards.

My memory is truly terrible. I've read studies suggesting that long-term clinical depression makes it more difficult for memories to stick, or something, so maybe that's why. I'm great at remembering tiny mundane details about things no one else cares about, (and others' food/aesthetic preferences) but that's basically it. I really ought to start a daily journal so that future me can remember more of my early life, but I just know I would embellish it wildly and try to be Anais Nin instead. (Tfw when you want to be Anais Nin but really you're more like Emily Dickinson because you never leave the house)
My very first human memory is hallucinating an enormous amphibious alien creature in my trailer park living room when I was 3 years old or so at 4 am and having a full-blown conversation with it in some garbled language while half-asleep, so there's that. |

*bizarrely
And fish sticks taste like the fish equivalent of what they use from the pig to make scrapple.

Fish sticks are fine. Maybe you'd like them better if you dipped them in velveeta and gravy.

People who can't make food taste good on its own usually slather it in gravy to compensate.
