Another Celebratory Post

In the craziness of this mad, mad world, I have remembered that I am blessed.


10 Treasures of My Life

(1) The three boxes of memories sitting in a dark corner of my closet. Most of my life and thoughts sit mustily in those boxes.

(2) The select favorites in my book collection. They are my FRIENDS, goshdarnit.

(3) My doll collection. Memories of a simpler time, with a simpler Me.

(4) MY ROCKS. Every time I went to the shore this summer, I collected pebbles and sometimes the occasional Rock. They are spiffy and awesome and I love them.

(5) My camera, Denise. She may not be the best or the most professional, but she is faithful and easy to work with. I may love her.

(6) It's not really mine, but the playlists I've developed on Playlist.com. They are a sort of chronicle of my tastes and styles and discoveries.

(7) The Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, Life, Deadliest Catch, Band of Brothers, and other miscellaneous obsessions I store in my head (I have a tidy little filing system for the mountains of facts I've accumulated). There is something very satisfyingly tangible about trivial knowledge: it gives me the right (because of the countless hours spent gathering said knowledge) to be indignant when moviemakers stray too far from canon...or when family and friends get a name wrong. >:D

(8) An item that was in the pocket of one guy I liked that he gave to me that I in turn gave to someone else because of necessity...but I still keep it in my heart. <3

(9) MY JOURNAL. It is a treasure just because I am so darn protective of it! It's not even funny.

(10) An old, black and white photo of an unknown girl that we found just today in our old black and white photo stash. I dunno--for some reason, her face really stuck in my mind, and I feel like I might as well have known her. I named her Lena (Helen). She is from Odessa.



It was about time for another celebratory post.
