Okay, this one has potential.

Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] vanmojo, the first "LJ tagmeme" thing I've seen in ages that looks fun:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

Memories, like the corners of my miiind

You were coming out of ESL class as I was turning the corner to go to seventh grade math class. We almost ran into eachother, and were startled. You, being a simple country girl straight from rural South Korea, couldn't remember how to "excuse me" in English; and I, inexplicably, tried to think of how to say "excuse me" in Korean, but was equally stumped. So we were both sort of at a loss for words until I simply and absurdly said "huh-unh" and moved on.

I often wondered if you assumed that "huh-unh" meant something, like some forgotten completion of the set of better-known English interjections "hunh!", "unh-hunh!", and "nuh-unh!".

I always fuck up the politeness level of "huh-unh".
