My first set of memories are from either age 2 or 3...I remember a dream which seemed to have taken place in space. There was loud orchestral music and the dream seemed to pan up to show cartoonish instruments playing along to the music. I remember waking up from the dream and running into the kitchen where I sat up at the counter and...told my mom about the dream. I described it as being "A bad dream about music". I remember a small blue TV being on the counter too and some cartoons were on (roadrunner!)

I also have a vague memory of a church which I'm positive was my parents wedding day. I also remember my mom in a wedding dress in a room with wood walls and a white bed. I was playing with a toy bat-wing. If those were both wedding memories, then I was 2.

My memories from that point onward are fragmented to the point that they are mostly non-existent. Hell, there are huge holes in my memory from the last couple of years too so how I managed to hold onto those is a mystery.

I have a very distinct memory of the car accident that totaled our crappy little Toyota when I was 3~4. It was a hot summer day and the cop told me I could sit in the back seat to stay cool once he took care of something, but before he could my dad showed up from work with our crappy Ford Escort wagon and I threw a tantrum because I couldn't sit in the police car. The earliest distinct memory I have where I knew the date was when we went to Sears when I was 5 to get our Atari 2600.

I've heard the story about when I was 15 months old I climbed into the driver's seat and rolled the car down the driveway with my 7 month pregnant mother chasing after me I feel like I have a memory of it, sadly I don't :(

Being held in front of a window and watching birds fly up from somewhere is very close by. My Ma would do this when I was about 18 months or so because I seemed to really like watching the birds.
