Do you have a memory box? |
|
You know a box you keep certain artifacts from your past in? Photos, letters, trinkets etc..
I ask because I went through one this weekend and found some poetry i wrote in 1987-1988. It was terrible..I couldn't write my way out of a paper bag. Made me want to burn it..But i can't Second question..Why does old shit smell like hell? What the fu_k is that weird stench..

I think it is technically called a skull, but if you prefer memory box, go for it!
Most of my life mementos are haphazardly scattered about here and there, quite a bit like my thoughts. I figure one day I will get around to organizing one or the other, or both of them...

3. My skull is an old amunition box |
|
The stuff inside is really worthless. Just memories and old pictures.

Mostly mail I stole from this girl that I had a crush on in the late 90's. And some trinkets from a trip to Europe.

Funny you should mention it because I've been cleaning and finding a lot of those things. Some of which I'd forgotten I had. Which is always fun. :hi:

10. Maybe someday I'll consolidate |
|
Right now, I still have stuff in a storage unit in Vermont that I've been paying for for 8 years. Included in that is at least one box of rocks. :rofl:
They're special rocks, though. :P

lots of them that my Mom picked up every time we went to the cemetery in NY state..... We went to the cemetery at least 3 times a year... for as long as I can remember... Before she died she told me not to throw them away but to use them in my garden....
so I still have a huge metal container( I think it was a garbage can) of rocks that must weigh a ton....
:hi:

Photos, cards, school medals, etc. etc. It's great fun to go through and see what was important to me at the time (and still is).

11. We have a memory box for my brother who died 11 years ago. |
|
In it we keep all of the cards, letters, pictures, newspaper articles, etc. that we received when he died!
I really need to go through it. I haven't been through it in a while.
