Purging the paper wreckage of my past
In my lonely, quiet, long night hours at home, I have begun the process of going through boxes of papers from the past several years, whittling down the amount of paperwork in my house...scanning memorabilia for posterity, compiling memories written in my coked-out crazy years...
Whew. This is a long, long, process. ONe piece of paper at a time. And often, I wrote notes in those years on tiny pieces of paper, in scribbled handwriting. Those I can transcribe I'm doing so and backdating it on LJ. Events/dates I'm chronicling on my google calendar. I have an odd desire to catalog my life on the internet. My story is important! Just wait until I get to the teenage letters from boyfriends, which will be anonymized, of course. heh.
There is also the beginning of purging images intended for collage. Because I have a hard time parting with things, and because I have friends who like to collage...There are a few envelopes of images already being made for certain artsy friends.
If you'd like to receive an envelope full of images and/or that remind me of you or that I think you might like, chosen by free-association, comment with your address. Comments, of course, will be screened. You can also feel free to specify topics/words/things that I can keep in mind when going through stuff.
happy tuesday!
