Well, That Was Close.

Phew!!! Ever hide something important so well that even you forget where you hid it? Just did that with a some money I owed my mom!

See, I have a system which keeps my good memory intact: I place important papers or items that I know I'll need, in books or DVDs of mine that a person like a friend or family member of mine have enjoyed with me I'm the past. For example, if an ex-girlfriend drew me a picture I'd keep it in the DVD of a movie we saw together or if my brother gives me something to hold for him, I'll put it in my "Die Hard" collection.

Anyway, I owed my mom for picking up my new phone and I remembered that I put the cash in a DVD in my room until she needed it but forgot which one it was! So, obviously, I looked through the usual suspected favorites of her's in my collection: "Game of Thrones" was first up because it's the only show of my all-time favorites that she's never missed an episode of (thanks to our mutual love of Arya Stark and the fact that she can't pronounce "Daenerys" so she calls her 'The Dragon Lady' which I find to be adorable), "Watchmen: The Director's Cut" (because it's the only comic book film I ever took her to see that she didn't fall asleep on), 2011's "Green Hornet" (one of the few reboots of her childhood favorites), and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (because I nicknamed her Sarah Connor a long time ago because they both share the same birthdate and birth year). No dice.

Then I remembered: "Spider-Man" for PS2! That was the one game I ever showed her how to play (but she gave up because she kept breaking the web-line prematurely while swinging between the buildings). And voila! There it was! I knew my system would work.
