questions i forget to ask

i have the tendency to forget the questions i want or should be asking. i find it really annoying when that happens.

last night, i forgot to ask a simple question and now, i can't stop thinking about it...why? because i want to know the answer. :) what happened?
i was at a friend's establishment for a meeting. i particularly liked a track being played and recognized the voice of the singer-it was beth orton's. in my head, i was thinking that it's a track i want 'peacebliss' to play or include in their repertoire. i asked my friend if it was a beth orton track and he said yes. see, i had it all planned out in my head...if he says 'yes,' i will ask if it came from the 'daybreaker' album. if his answer was again a 'yes,' i would then ask what the track was. he said 'no.' i was not able to pre-program my brain to respond to the answer 'no,' so, basically for me, that was the end of the convesation. what happened next? he asked if 'peacebliss' had that song in their repertoire. again, my mind wasn't programmed to continue discussing the same topic and was already on a 'different' topic mode--in other words, the window to that conversation was already close and it was already focused on another window. the follow-up question from him was more of a 'pop-up banner' that was read briefly then closed. when i got home, i thought about the track and how much i wanted to call my other friend up to say that it should be included in the repertoire. Smart me, only after a few hours did i remember that i was not able to ask what the title of the track was. nyrz!

note: labo ba ng analogy? i'm reffering to the 'window' and 'pop-up banner'

is there a particular question you would often forget to ask?

the question i often forget to ask: 'What is your name again?'

you know the thing when you are introduced to someone at an unexpected time and the name of the person just doesn't register in your head? several minutes later, you find yourself engrossed in a conversation with the person introduced, that by the time you are about to say goodbye, you realize that you have forgotted to ask for their name again.

umm...what else am i suppose to share? would you be interested to know that i'm sleepy? :P hehehe nyterz!
