I can remember very little from before about 12. There are bits and pieces that are hazy, but only when someone jogs that memory. My friend commented the other day how people tell me stories about my life (even stuff from my teens) that I have no memory whatsoever of. It is odd, but I don't really care b/c I don't "need" those memories per se.

Even today my memory for things like events or people is terrible, but my school, work, or research that I want to remember is retained nearly flawlessly. Hmm.
