Childhood

I was cleaning up one of the spare rooms in my house which tends to be used for storage. I found my memory boxes! Basically just shoeboxes where I've thrown a bunch of stuff that I wanted to keep. So there are a variety of notes (remember those note passing days?) that i'd received. I love notes! I tend to stock pile any notes that I receive which is why i have an impossible time deleting e-mails.

I found a diary that I wrote when I was in elementary school. The majority of entries along the lines of "I really like (insert boy name)." Or my favorite "I wasn't paying attention for like ten seconds and they scored a goal." Obviously as goalie on a soccer team that had to have been a tramatic experience for a 10 yr old. ;) The things we get upset about as children. LOVE IT!

ohh... what else did I find... I found a name tag from my first job at White Castle. God I hated that job. But options were limited at 16. I loved the lable that I stuck to the back that said "BITCH." Classic.

The best things that I found are these two collages that I put together when I was about 17 or 18 to mail to a few friends I had around the world. How fun is it that I was able to mail something to Australia and England? I'm curious as hell to find out if either of the people I sent them to still have them. I'm debating messaging them out of the blue and asking.

I can't remember anything else of import that I found other than pictures.. lots of pictures. :) I hoard them almost as bad as notes and cards.

Forever

I've randomly decided to start posting again. It's kind of been forever and a day.... I figure, if I'm paying money for the site, I should probably use it. :D
