hey junk, GO AWAY. (:

Ok, so this is no big surprise but i'd like to tell you a fact about me. When I like something ... it becomes an obsession! I like t-shirts. I have rougly 100 of them. I like headbands .. I have about 50 of those. I also really like markers but I'm not going to count those (there's 3 boxes of them under my bed!) The typical girl likes shoes .. I like those too, I have 2 giant tubs full of them. So riddle me this, why when I have so many of all these things do I only use very few of them? Being a pack-rat by default (please meet my family) I have small collections of things everywhere! It's kind of like a game when I want to find something I haven't seen in a while. With going off to college coming so soon I figured it wold be a good idea to weed out all the things I don't need, don't use, and don't wear. Let me tell you, this is SO hard! I get so attached to everything! But I also am really obsessed with organizing!

So I'm sitting in the floor of my bedroom with 2 boxes, 3 drawers and 2 baskets of JUNK to sort through.

Really, Aarika? So... by organizing, and reorganizing I finally got rid of like 1/3 of the junk.

it's not much, but it's progress!

Here's some random things i found!

2 ipods (i only own one)

3 planners (1 from 2007 and 2 from 2008)

a package of flash cards

7 nail files

5 hot hands - hand warmers

a broken mirror (oops!)

a do-rag

mini bop it extreme

a bathroom door lock from CPK in Louisville

spongebob bubbles

a flamingo bendy straw

hilbilly teeth

a handcuff keychain

ad 17 AA batteries.

I like to keep my junk, markers, pencils, art stuff etc. in old shoe boxes. I figured if I'm taking these to college, it will be fun to PAINT my shoe boxes! It is. (:

I'll show you later!
