How far can you memory go?

Hahahaha, my memory is so bad, i cant recollect things taht happened even just a month ago :p But i am happy with my memories abilities since it sometimes, okay... rarely able to remember a thing that already happened a very very very long time ago:) But the problem is, peoples that involved in my sudden-super-memory cannot recollect things that i do remember :(

My long term memory is pretty good. I can remember my 5th birthday, my first day of school, I even have some memories of being in a crib. And those events are almost a hundred years ago. . .LOL My short term memory, on the other hand, is quite quirky. I'll get up to go do something and totally forget why I got up. Or I'll make a cup of coffee only to come into the living room and find I already have a full cup. And quite often my Mother will ask me what I had for supper and I have to really think hard to remember. Hmmm. . . I wonder if there's a cure for that. xoxo Cyne
