Have any of you ever heard of these? A snapshot moment or a flashbulb memory? You probably have, but never mind, eh?
Got this book, called Learn To Remember shush
But I was having a little read of it the other day, and it brought the snapshot moment subject up.
This is what it said:
"Do you remember what you were doing when you heard of Princess Diana's death (August 31, 1997) ?
When a very shocking event takes place, often we recall a host of trivial details that occured in our lives at the same time, such as 'where we were', or 'who we were with'. Those are called flashbulb memories. Blah blah blah..
Anyways. Write me your snapshot moments. And.. can you remember what you were doing and who you were with when you found out about Princess Di? Or even 9/11? Or any other good/bad memory?

I remember the day well. I was just 8, and I recall waking up extremely early for no apparant reason. I don't remember why I woke up at about 6/7am, but I quickly proceeded down to the sitting room and flipped on the television. Scouring the channels, I realised that many were News bulletins. "Princess Diana has died", it didn't sound something overwhelmingly important at the time, maybe I thought that Princess Diana was one of the more elder of the royal family, I was only eight. When I told my parents a couple of hours later they told me that I must be getting confused with somebody else, then I showed them the pictures I'd seen by turning on the TV. I saw the face of Diana. I suddenly realised who had died, as that face seemed very familiar.
Just bringing up those subjects I managed to conjur up some long forgotten things. Like where I was when 9/11 happened.
