Whenever I need to remember something (usually something I need or want to do) I usually write it on my hand if there isn't a piece of paper handy. As you can imagine, these notes are pretty random, and may even seem entertaining to an outside audience...so I decided to compile a running list. The note as written is in bold text. The explanation is in italics. Yes, this is how my brain works, and also somewhat explains why I know so much "random-ass shit" as my friends call it.
