I always know what my "favorites" are until someone asks about them -- and then I go blank. Or maybe a better way to put it is that my "favorites" simply manifest themselves by rate of occurrence in the course of whatever I do or choose or say, without my even being aware of or discerning them or categorizing them as such.
