"It happens, baby. You forget all of it anyway. First, you
forget everything you learned- the dates of the Hay-Herran Treaty
and the Pythagorean Theorum. You especially forget everything you
didn't really learn, but just memorized the night before. You
forget the names of all but one or two of your teachers, and
eventually, you'll forget those too. You forget your junior year
class schedule and where you used to sit, and your best friend's
home phone number and the lyrics to that song you must have
played a million times. And eventually, but slowly, oh so slowly,
you forget your humiliations- even the ones that seemed indelible
just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was
pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good college. Who
threw the best parties. Who could get you pot. You forget all of
them. Even the ones you said you loved, and even the ones you
actually did. They're the last to go. And once you've forgotten
enough, you love someone
else."
** Ahh, I just read this is in my book, it was
