Yeah. It's becoming more and more apparent scientifically that memory is unreliable (a surprise to no one). I've noticed that in certain groups of friends, certain events (legendary only to us) have taken on their own kind of mythology as time has gone on. I'm not saying this is an original observation or anything, just that I'm starting to understand how much narrative and memory alter history, even personal histories and that it's something that everyone does to one degree or another.
