Forgetting...

"I see you driving 'round town with the girl I love and I'm like forget you!"-Cee Lo Green

This is fun song to sing when you are really pissed off at someone. Fortunately, this doesn't have much to do with me.

I recently finished the book The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. This series is about four friends and a pair of magical pants. The four friends names are Tibby, Carmen, Lena, and Bridget (or as everyone calls her, Bee). I will let you read about them if you want to in the books but for the purpose of this post, I should explain some things about the girls.

This post has to do with the fourth book in the series Forever in Blue. And for the quote I am going to write to make sense, you need to know about two characters: Lena and Carmen.

Carmen is the dramatic one in the group but she sometimes gives the best advice.

Lena is the artistic one. She loves art and she is patient. She is also trying to forget about a boy she met in Greece named Kostos.

"I have this weird premonition that as soon as you forget about Kostos, you are going to see him again."-Carmen

This becomes true later in the book but that isn't the reason I used this quote for this post.

Have you ever forgotten about something and then remembered it unexpectedly?

This is common because no matter how hard you try, you won't forget most things.

An interesting fact about remembering is that the sense of smell triggers the most recollection. For instance, I have this perfume that reminds me of my childhood. I don't know what the smell it's from but it brings back memories. Once I can smell it anymore, I forget the smell.

But its hard to forget. Especially the bad stuff.

Enjoy!!!
