Am I going to have to record everything myself, guys?

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?

Wait, is this the one where Fergie learns that certain parts of his body can't feel pain, but goes and gets a sports cup anyway?

You know, I entirely forgot that bit (that he didn't feel it). Assuming this is the same time? It's the only time I actually recall Fergie getting kicked in the nuts, so it's probably the same time. The time Liz kicked him in the nuts when he suggested that she and Sherry were lesbian lovers.

Yep. That's it. Liz kicks him, he doesn't fall down, tells people. Goes to his room, gets cup anyway because of paranoia, tells more people, Issao wants to try.

I don't really remember what it was that led to that, though.

It was Fergie talking to Liz. Fergie somehow forgets that he's talking to Liz, and starts making insinuations about Liz being a lesbian, ending with the comment that Sherry was lucky to have such a roommate, or something to that effect.
Liz kicks him (and storms off, I think). Fergie, realizing that he didn't feel anything, proceeds to be Fergie and starts spreading the story. Issao hears about the incident, while Fergie, in a rare moment of forethought, goes to his room and gets a sports cup, because lack of pain doesn't mean lack of damage.
Issao encounters him after Fergie gets the cup, and, shoeless for reasons not well understood by anyone but Issao, kicks Fergie in the cup.

Yeah, I remember that part - IIRC his comment was something like "So that's why you're so happy to have Sherry as a roommate" - but I don't remember what it was he said earlier to Sherry that led to this - I remember something about him saying to Sherry, "You know I only do this because I love you", and Sherry freaking out and running away, but I don't remember whether anything else related happened between that and this.
