Or in an encrypted file.

Since I make such long and random passwords as you are recomending myself, I can't ever remember all of them. I just remember the one password to an encrypted file where I store all my other passwords, and then copy and paste the other passwords from the file. If you go this route, make sure that you are using a good pasphrase for the encrypted file, and you trust the software that is encrypting your data. If anyone gets ahold of the file, your passwords would only be as secure as the password to the file and the encryption scheme.

In case anyone is interested, I use gpg to encrypt my stuff.
