Things my brain has decided really happened but actually didn't

We are all imperfect. And even though are brains are pretty sweet, they do make dumb mistakes. We actually rewrite memories based on new events in our lives or new emotions/drama, so what we remember now, or what actually happened, may not be what we remember 20 years from now.

For example, I may remember that I was "about 5'4'' with long straight golden blonde hair and weighed 98 pounds", but that is not actually me; that is Nicole Richie circa two years ago according to the tabloid magazine I saw in a check out line one day.

OR IS IT? Maybe my brain rewrote that memory too!!!

Anyways, here in fun fun list form are some of the things that DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN but did according to my brain:

1. At the end of Harry Potter, Luna and Neville got married and had four children and Neville became the headmaster of Hogwarts.
-I was very confused when I read the 7th book for the second time and this didn't actually happen. It is likely that Fanfiction is to blame.

2. There is an animated version of the Phantom of the Opera made by Disney.
-I think that this was a dream that I had that I decided was REAL LIFE.
-Besides, this would not make a good Disney movie. It has too much kidnapping and men with long girly hair.

3. I have ten pairs of boots in my closet.
-Sadly I only have eight. Thank you Grandma!

4. I have a picture of myself dressed up as an enchanted flower vase for the musical Beauty and the Beast on my phone.
-I was in this musical and I was an enchanted flower vase but no such picture exists. I have looked for it four times. It still doesn't exist.

5. I was awesome at writing lab reports in AP Bio.
-I actually never got a full A on any of those lab reports though I came pretty close a few times.

6. There is candy. I know you have some. It is for me.
-Not everyone in the world has candy and it is not all for me. But I am still suspicious that there is candy SOMEWHERE and you will give it to me. Or else.
-I am aware that I have a sugar problem.

7. I own a dark purple dress with silver beads on it.
-I do not know where this delusion came from, but it was so pronounced that I didn't believe it when I found no such dress in my closet. I think I might have combined two dresses I actually owned into one kick ass silver-purple dress of awesomeness.

8. In Hannibal (the movie) Clarice throws a pair of shoes at Hannibal.
-I was really excited to see Clarice throw shoes at Anthony Hopkin's stupid face. But, IT NEVER HAPPENED.

9. I all ready posted this post.
-As you can clearly see by the fact that it was not posted before this time, this is not the case.

OR IS IT?
