I wanted to post this in the facebook thread, but it wasn't really relevent. Plus, I didn't have much more to say, other than sometimes, I wish I could do this.

...okay, so I'm a little late.


This week, I've completely cleaned out my bedroom & closets, and gone through all the boxes I've had stored in the furnace room for ten years or so. My Inner Packrat is crying, as I've tossed about five bags worth of trash, and donated six bags of clothes to Salvation Army.

Sadly, I STILL have too much stuff. There are some things I have no real use for, but can't bring myself to throw away: awards from high school, homecoming pictures, random notes and letters, tons of cassette tapes.

Some other things I've found:

-- assorted diaries and journals, from 2nd grade, then every year from 5th-10th grades, plus one I kept while I was married. The second grade one is mostly about books (I was very taken with The Mouse and the Motorcycle) and my bicycle, and the rest are eerily similar, about friendships, relationships, and love in general (or lack thereof), although at least the later ones...

On the way to work yesterday, my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, so I let it ring. A few minutes later, the same number called again. I was puzzled, but again, didn't answer. Almost immediately, I got a text that said "Cinn?"

Hmmm, I thought. Someone from work, maybe? I called back, and...it was my ex. Apparently, he'd been "moving things around" and came across my Wedding Singer soundtrack, and the dvd insert from one of my Angel seasons. "I would just throw them away," he said, "but they're yours, and I thought you might want them."

I considered telling him to mail them to me, but that's a little silly, seeing as how he lives just down the road. So, he's supposed to drop them off today.

Of course, if this goes the same way as when we first broke up, I won't hear from him again for another month or so. It's okay, though... much as I love the soundtrack, I can just buy another one. And I can...
