Question about memories.

[conuly]

Where do they go when you're not thinking about them? I mean, you don't remember everything all the time, right? Some things you may have trouble recalling (the word is on the tip of my tongue!), but even the things you remember easily (in fourteen hundred ninety two...) you don't remember *all the time*. Most of the time, they're... not there. Your current thoughts are there instead. So where are the memories?

I'm not quite sure, but when they come back out they're all deformed and considerably more fantastic than anything that's ever actually happened. There may or may not be a bar or an opium hut somewhere in the back of my head.
