Being a forgetful person is never something you want to be known for. However, I'm pretty sure that's the main thing that people identify me with. You never want to be known as the flake in your friend group but of course, I have that dubious distinction. I always try to tell myself that I'm not one of those people but deep down, I'm a hardcore flake, and I pretty much forget just about everything. I really don't know why that is, either I just truly don't care about anything at all or I secretly am a 78-year-old man stuck in a 20-year-old body. Now I'm sure people will think that I'm not that bad so I'm here to offer up some examples of why I'm probably the worst person ever.
1. I currently have 156 unread text messages.
Now, that may seem like a lot to you and yes, it definitely is but that's nowhere close to how much I used to have. My friends always make fun of me because of how many unanswered messages I have but I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean, I can't really answer back when somebody says "ok" or "lol" so I just don't. That may seem a little obnoxious but maybe I'm so used to having that red bubble above my message app that I've become immune to caring about it. And if you were wondering, I also have 491 unread emails. Moral of this story, if you have to tell me something important, just find me in person.
2. You will most likely never see me.
Okay, so finding me in person probably won't help either because I'm likely to just never be seen. Being a flake is kind of like an insult and an accomplishment all at the same time. When I do meet up with a friend the first thing we say is, "Wow, I haven't seen you in so long." That's probably because I was in hibernation and flaked out on all our plans but odds are I won't even feel bad because in five minutes I'll probably just forget about it.
3. I forget my laundry almost every single time I do it.
Yesterday, I put my laundry in around 3:30. I ended up getting my laundry from the dryer at 8:43 p.m. That's right, I somehow left my all my clothes in the laundry room for a good five hours. So, what did I do during that time you might ask? Nothing. Besides listening to music and then getting dinner I just completely forgot I was even doing laundry in the first place. And this isn't a one-time thing, I somehow always forget about my laundry.
4. I will forget I have classes and work all the time without an alarm.
I have an alarm set for 15 minutes before I have a class or have to work because I would probably end up completely forgetting about it. I'm essentially that person who always says "I don't know" when you ask me if I have any plans. I describe it as being free-spirited but I think the actual term for it is stupidity. Since I always forget where I have to be I'm pretty much always checking my calendar or my class schedule to make sure I'm not missing anything and even when I figure out I have something to do, I'll always second guess myself.
5. Sometimes, I'll forget to eat.
So, this is a pretty bad one because eating is definitely a major part of my life but I like to think that it's not really my fault. A lot of times, I will wake up and head straight for my classes and not have time for breakfast; then lunch rolls around and I have to work so I just ignore it. By the time I am finished for the day, I realize that I haven't eaten anything and it's already 4 p.m. Maybe that's why I'm so skinny...
