But It's Clean!!!
I cleaned out my room a few days ago. And by cleaned, I mean took everything off the shelves, sorted, and reorganized everything. First thought was of puzzlement of how I got all this crap in my room. Between the books on my shelf I keep random bits of important stuff. Then as I started going through it all, I remembered how I got it.
My 16th b-day sign was the first. Allie made it. Then it was the note from choir when I was in the hospital Freshman year. Next to that was a card from Mrs. Shapiro to the same effect. Then the 17th and 18th b-day signs. I looked at the lack of signatures as the years progressed. Between the Peanuts books, I found a picture of Adam from 5th grade at a field trip to Navy Pier, a bunch of post cards and graduation from my family, and a few letters from my Aunt Lea (Grandma O's sister). Those I reread. As I progressed, I found two cloud envelopes. Two letters from Lina. One was one she wrote to me between Sophomore and Junior year from Hidden Valley Camp, the other from her at school for her 17th B-day party. Then there was Claire's 16th b-day invite, folded with a blue sheep on it.
All that stuff plus a few other notes, I can't throw out. I keep it all w/ my notebook so I won't lose it. Nice to have a memory backup.
