Heard some friends and family remember a different version of our shared history than I do. Anybody else out there have different memories from people who are close to you?

It's weird! Between us all we have a crap load of photos and videos of events one side or the other doesn't remember. Like a close family friend who was my husband's best man at our wedding- he doesn't remember the wedding but he's there in the photo album. There are gifts that friends don't remember giving. Letters sent to relatives years ago that disappeared because they weren't sent in their memories. Yet all of us have our jobs and our homes from our personal version of history.

Does this mean paradoxes can exist without the universe exploding or something the way it does in sci-fi movies?

I don't remember that conversation? Sorry! Maybe you have the wrong Nelson. Or this is exactly what I was talking about.

I asked you for advice, because I'd kissed a friend of mine under unusual circumstances, and I was worried she'd be upset. And you told me about your boyfriend and how you met. Only, you were my English teacher and not a music producer.

[see, now she goggles him]

[Search results give her a profile on a celebrity website, album and song info, and articles several years old. He hasn't been in the spotlight much since the wedding. There are photos of him with the husband if she's curious.]

Hold on this sounds familiar. I had dreams about being a teacher over the summer. Then that family friend said I WAS one. Sorry I don't remember it the same. Hope I taught you well!

[Of course she's curious. Oh look, it's the cute guy who came to the school musical.]

You did. You were a great teacher. You really helped me a lot.

[She is really not sure how she feels about all of this, but at the sametime....]

Congratulations Mr. Nelson. I'm really happy you two go married.

There's a paradox. Bet you have old homework or something saved on your computer.

Thanks. We're past the newly wed stage and into the father stage. Did you know who I was dating then? [You seem to be invested in this to some extent.]

[invocate]

Yeah. I do. I have tests you graded.

I knew you were dating someone. I found out who the next month when you helped me with the fashion show.

[so very quietly invested]
