Something I’ve maybe mentioned as an aside is that ever since the personality change took me from straight to bi I actually can’t feel interest towards men I knew before, even queer ones, because I apparently already have database entries on them marked “Not Eligible Target”

It gets me thinking about deep, consciously inaccessible memory.

One other thing I probably mentioned in passing is ever since the original brain infection the memory and pattern recognition parts of my audio processing center apparently got nerves crossed because ever since I can -choose- to hear songs I have exposure to (which might just be forgettable Top 40 pop from when I was 4) in ambient outdoor background noises

Like last night I had the window open and could pick “Big Iron” out of water dripping from rain-wetted trees and I think a neighbor’s basement drying machine

Anyway that also draws on unconscious memory cause I’ll regularly be like “huh, I forgot this song even had this part”
