Don't try to memorise openings without understanding why the moves are played.  Have a look at this article (it's in three parts) which talks about how to build a repertoire of openings.

I use it to transpose into the King's Indian, had a lot of luck with that transposition, then working the C-File.

I suggest you buy some Nigel Davies opening DVDs from chessbase. He's in love with the Pirc so a lot of the openings he champions are very "pirc-like".

I have never played the Pirc, but I know it is a very solid opening. I would recommend it if you are comfortable with your opponnent having a large pawn center, as White usually gets one.
