Cross-associaton
I have noticed that I have a few associations in my mind that are, well, weird. Not like the smell of cologne I used to wear reminding me of an old girlfriend (nothing weird about that), but stuff without a visible connection. For instance, I have a mental association that causes me to think of the intersection of 10th Ave N and First street sometimes when I remember learning to use, or am using the rectangle tool in Adobe Illustrator. There's nothing notable about that location - nothing "happened" there, I never knew anyone who lived on that corner. But there it is, pretty regularly. I am sure that I have more of these seemingly random associations, but I can't think of any right now. I'll post them later as I experience them again. Do you have any?

The sounds of ice cream trucks always brings me back to eating 'screwballs' (ice cream with a gumball in the bottom in a plastic cone container) in the middle of the street. Doesnt matter if im in guam, if i hear the ice cream truck jingles, there i am!!
Quite often when I step off of a curve, I think, "From this day forth, I shall be known as Yukio Mishima!"
