Miss Dory

I found it cute when my friends started calling me Miss Dory.  I still find it cute, but I'm quite bummed out that I'm actually emulating it's namesake.

You guys know Dory, right?  She's the absolutely adorable yet irritatingly "blonde" fish in Finding Nemo.  If you haven't seen this animated movie, you should go see it.  The animation is beautiful and the story line touching.  If not for anything, you need to watch it to understand certain characteristics of Dory for you to understand why I somehow resemble her character.

For one thing, Dory's a real "blonde" in the truest sense.  An absolute bimbo, yet at the same time, contradictingly intelligent.  I wish I could say the same for myself.  I own the former characteristic, but not the latter.

Okay, so I sometimes make comments that are silly and out of place.  But in a way, they are funny, right?  Because of how silly and out of place they are.

But the forgetting and the ever increasing carelessness, that's REALLY getting to me.  I don't know whether I'm just damn careless or because I just earnestly can't remember, but the condition is worsening by day.

I keep losing stuff.  First, it was my iPod.  Then, my set of car keys. My ear rings - about two dozen pairs, if  not more.  And numerous trinkets that don't cost much, but when accumulated, will make me spend a handsome sum of money to replace them.

I also keep leaving things behind.  My handphone.  My second set of car keys.  My numerous pen drives.  My gym bag.  My gym shoes. My bag-cum-briefcase.  The shoes I wear to work. And banyak lagi.

I always keep misplacing items.  My handphone - God knows how many times.  My purse.  My car keys.  My house keys.  My iXus.  My watches.  My bracelets.  The office's LCD.  My mug at the office. Numerous files and folders at the office.  Etc, etc, etc..

And the list goes on.

It first started out with one or two incidents.  But it's gradually becoming dreadful and out of hand.  It has come to a point where I double-check everything before moving from one spot to another. Yet at some point, I will still lose, misplace or leave something behind.

I guess there are numerous reasons for my absentmindedness. Stress at work could be one. Too many things on my mind at one time could be another.  Or it could just be simple negligence.

I was never like this.  This has only been happening recently. Luckily, I have not lost any more valuable items.  Or my sanity.  Yet.

And I hope I won't.  Touch wood.
