I am an epic grudge bearer on an Old Testament scale.
I’m like a bitter elephant – I never forget…

There are things from primary school that still piss me off. Despite my serial attempts to derail it with MD’s, I have a prodigious memory and I can recall in precise detail conversations from aeons ago – this makes me a bugger to argue with but it’s a curse as much as a blessing. Every single nasty remark and action my ex has ever said and done is permanently etched into my mind, practically every perceived slight anyone has ever done to me is archived against them, and in idle moments they rise unbidden from my subsconscious to annoy me.

This makes me petty-minded, I know, but on the whole I keep it to myself – people are blithely unaware that I can remember their transgressions of days past when I see them.

So you remember every transgression made against you... and store them away for future use against those who anger thee...
Are you SURE you're a bloke?

I was going to say this

Yes.
But I am inwardly rather thin-skinned, and bad manners and nastiness get to me a great deal more than they should. Decorum forbids I point out such behaviour every time people act like peasants, so unfortunately it gets internalised.

I assume you don't apply this principle to B3ta
or you must have a fuckload of internal storage space

I forget NOTHING.
This also applies to kind words and gestures too, however, making me a remarkably loyal, forgiving and tolerant friend. It's not all bad.

Forgetting nothing has it's advantages
like when you go to Bowie gigs you can sing along to ALL of the songs

It's 'its'.

So basically, being your friend is like opening an Excel spreadsheet
in which all words, gestures, mannerisms, and occasions contribute to one of two colums in a bar chart

Not in the slightest.
I'll do anything for my friends, but cross me at your peril.

It's that simple.

I prefer my explanation
Even though yours is less convoluted, quite charming and fundamentally more accurate, mine is... mine
