box o' treasures

(don't for a second think i'm organized when you read the following. i was good about filing my bills and important paperwork for about a year.)

so i've been cleaning my apartment all day, and have a lot of credit card, georgia power, compassion international, etc. statements laying around in piles. so i decided to file them and get organized. before i did so, i shredded all the old things. it's funny how credit card statements are like diaries. here are the things that have stuck out to me so far:

1. paperwork for when i got a new pager when my old one quit working. that's right, i had a pager. no i didn't sell drugs.

2. a charge for mellow mushroom. i'm sure mr. henderson is very fond of this trip to mellow mushroom. well, not so much the trip there as what happened afterwards (you'd think i'd realize then that i was lactose intollerant). that and the fact that i broke my peppermint into little pieces on the parking lot asphalt so i wouldn't choke on it. he got a good laugh out of that.

3. the paperwork when i appealed to tech to get back in. the paperwork to change my major for the first time. some old transcripts.

4. an application for vida nueva. i think i was going to sponsor my brother or something.

5. coupons to 6 flags the year i bought a season pass and went twice.

6. my buzz card (tech i.d.) and chattahoochee tech i.d. (wearing my chick-fil-a uniform).

7. copies of the technique with articles that i had written and the editor had ruined. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) i wish i had the originals because i was so mad when she screwed them up. one in particular was too short because they decided to make it the feature, so instead of asking me to write more, she tried to write like me. it didn't even make sense.

other than that i'm realizing that i've accumulated a ton of text books in the last year and a half. we barely cracked most of them. i've kept them for reference once i start teaching... we'll see if i actually use them.

back to my war on clutter, dust, and of course: terror.

tonight's music so far: the muse, my chemical romance, garden state soundtrack, nickel creek... yeah, that random

EDIT (11:16 pm)
i won't have my apt clean by the time i go home. found more interesting stuff though:
the note that erin wrote me on my birthday that said she wanted to get baptized. pretty cool stuff. i think it's the only thing from her that i kept other than pictures.
a.p. scores and the announcement that i was an "a.p. scholar with honor"... a lot of good those classes did me =P
