Lexplanation: An explanation for the way things are based on what I think I know.
A fact is a fact. Explanations should derive from a set of facts. Any given lexplanation, however derives from a particular set of my understandings that may or may not all be factual. These ideas have been in my head so long that it either doesn't occur to me to second guess their validity, or I don't even wonder about the basis of my assessment until after it's already been made--at which point I generally point out that I may or may not have just provided lexplanation.
Ask me anything. I have an answer.

Welcome to My Brain
Welcome to my brain!
My name is Lexie and I have a ridiculous good long-term memory. The purpose of this blog is to track the way my brain works in all its associative wonder. Frequently, little things set off a string of memories in my mind--one leading to the next--playing in my mind like a reel of audivisuals. Everything reminds me of something else or another place in time. The near constant introspection mean that means that my mind is always working, which is sometimes tiring, but also often amusing.
My objective is to determine (for myself and in no precisely scientific way) whether the near constant process of my brain drawing correllations between/among things going on now and events from my past has an actual affect on the ability of my brain to recall my childhood, last year, and/or that conversation that I had with Mike last week.
Does constantly exercising my long-term memory make it stronger?
