Mind Palace Experiment : Prologue

The first time I heard about a Mind Palace or a Memory Palace, it was when watching The Mentalist. The main character explained it as a specific technique to remember a long list of things. Want to remember someone's name ? Place him next to your kitchen fridge. It didn't make any sense.
Another time I heard about A Mind Palace was in BBC Sherlock, another TV show about an especially intelligent man. It was pictured with fancy special effects which almost made it look like a super power. In the end I took it as such and passed my way.
But it came to my attention once again as something much more accessible. A simple article which title was : How to create your Mind Palace.

My Mind Palace ? Can it even exist ? As a person whose memory could be qualified as very deficient, I'd think it very optimist calling it even a Mind Room or a Mind Closet. I am no Patrick Jane or Sherlock Holmes !
Still, my curiosity made me read those few simple tips and as I read it all seemed more and more interesting, more and more achievable and also funnier.

Create your Mind Palace, imagine the walls, the floor, the rooms, the light, the ambiance. I get it, it's like a Mental Sims Game !
Fill it with informations and memories. You might want to bring in your favorite character to help you with your researches. Well, if my Mind Palace is my brain, it's already really crowded up there.

I finally decided to try it. It's all in my head so I can do whatever I want, right ?
I've always been a very dreamy person anyway.
