It is very easy to forget your stories when you do not retell them.
Fortunately for me I have this LJ, which can serve as my memory when my brain fails me. Also, of course, I have various text files on my computer, but for those things I wish to retell, they will probably end up here.
Anyway, some time ago I found myself wanting to tell the story of How Issao Hurt His Foot, but I could not remember the bulk of it. I knew that I had not recorded it here as such, but had rather linked to where Fergie recorded it on his LJ - for why should I write what is already written? But I also remembered that Fergie had deleted everything before a certain point on his LJ...
Well, today I actually thought to check, and indeed, that entry is deleted. Now I am left with a useless link in my LJ and a hole in my memory. I can retell parts of the story, probably, but not the whole thing.
:(
Am I just going to have to make backups of everything that other people can delete?
