Write It Down

I wonder if there's a word for someone like me.
A magpie is a bird that gathers shiny things.
I gather information.
Sometimes it feels like my brain is whirling so fast that the wheels inside my brain are going to spin off into oblivion. So many tangents that go unexplored. So many thoughts that are overindulged.

I try to write down the ideas that really touch my; that I want to peruse later at my leisure.
I feel more.....secure knowing that I've caught that fleeting bit of inspiration.
The problem is.....
that I don't always remember where I wrote it down.
Boo.
