heya! :) Just jotting notes... will add to this over time most likely- I just added a few more. I have a couple of similar lists...and do like to put them into or retrieve them from walking around memorypalaces of my childhood home and grandmother's house. Used to be able to embed them into certain of my artworks on Flickr ('notes' feature) and then they removed that feature/capability- which was hugely disappointing/upsetting!.
Love that you have the similar memories...this is something I'm interested in spacially...as layers and overlaps...a certain blurring of identity...
Brent and I often joke to eachother to 'Get your own memories!!' when one of us relays a story from childhood that is just eerily similar to the other's own private experience...some treasured but seemingly obscure toy and our special connection to it..or something we did...heck...at around 10 years old we actually looked like the same person!. I'll have to upload some photos to prove it.
Speaking of...now I'm wondering if my bank was actually the Tootsie roll bank and we had put a yellow print paper around it!!! Because I remember the Tootsie roll??? Seee? it's haaaappenninnnnggg...the blurrrrrrrinnnng...
