what's important?
they always say hindsight is 20/20 yadda yadda yadda ... but that doesn't help when i'm here and now feeling like i'm drowning in stuff! so ... i'm looking at my stuff and trying to decide what's important.
like, what stuff in my bag is crucial, and what can go? how old is this lip gloss? if they can put NAMES on the stupid capsules and tablets, why can't they put expiration dates on aspirin and allergy medicine? do i really need to keep all these itty bitty scraps of papers? why? and whose phone number is this anyway? whoa ... the print fades on receipts? how old is this one lol
it goes farther than my bag, too. which clothes are keepers, and which ones do i toss? is it going to come back as retro, or what? am i going to remember these people in these pictures a million years from now, and will i really care that i kept the picture? look at all these books and cds and movies ... which books do i really want to keep, and which ones can i ditch? which cds were a trend and which ones do i actually listen to? should i bother figuring out how to transfer these movies to dvd? its time for a garage sale.
i like crafting, but i almost wish i could narrow down my interests like my friends do. they have one, MAYBE two kinds of crafts they get into, and that's all they keep around. me, i like to try out different things, sometimes combine stuff for different effects, experiment with random assortments of schtuff ... and that means tonnes of craft crap in plastic bins because geeeeez, ya never know when you'll think of something and be wondering if you have the stuff on hand or if you're gonna have to haul butt to the store to find it ...
think i've come to the conclusion that i need a house just for my art stuff, you know?
