So today was most likely my last 13 hour day at Rite Aid! It was kinda exciting but mostly kinda sad. As some of you know, I got a job at Independent Health which starts next week contingent on my passing the drug test (should be no prob as I am like the DARE poster child) and a background check (inapporop halloween costumes aren't part of a background check right? haha) . So today after 11 years may very well be my last Monday at Rite Aid. Punching out with Rachelle (we both have been doing all day mondays for a while together was rather sad!) I sorta plan on working one part day a week at RiteAid just to keep my foot in the door and for some extra cash but it really depends on what my schedule at IHA ends up being like if that will be possible. We'll see. I am sure I will write more about this crazy new transition in my life soon, but for now I"m just kinda sad about it but excited at the same time.

Ah! The famous all or none rule. I challenge you to pull ALL of it off cohesively.
Meanwhile, I am aiming for the mundanely-ugly-random-yard-$1-or-free-rummage-weirdo this year.

Pictures of Me? Pictures of You? Pictures of Who?So as many of you know I have a like memory keeping problem. LIke not that I forget thing but that I cannot get rid of anything because it all has memories to me. In particular pictures. I have always had a hard time throwing out pictures, even like before digital when there were bad ones that didn't come out and were basiclaly all just black, I still kept them.
ANywho , the problem really comes to a head when it comes to other people's pictures. I don't think pictures should be thrown out and so I have collected other people's (ok my friends, not just complete strangers mostly) photos over the years that they no longer wanted. Also senior year of highschool I made a video slideshow for my friends and so at the time got many copies of all their photos. This leads to me having a massive amount of photos. I am currently in the process of trying to organize them into albums and what not and then I want to print out photos that i have on the computer from the last few years and make albums for those.
I still havne't even really gotten to the problem but here is part of it. Collecting all these photos over the years and now have literally prolly hudnreds of photos of events I wasn't at or people I don't know. I have like 200 pictures of (e:beast) and her date Mike Maloney from junior and senior prom cuz like i took some and then i have all of teres's and other peoples. Then i also have a buttload of pictures from (e:mk)'s college years and like her ex boyfriends formal dances. I also have Diana's scrapbook that she made about the football player she was stalking/in love with and possibly 1,000 pics of Cara O'COnnor who was somoene MK was friends with in elementary school> I started this addiction/collection long ago when I got an album of photos from my friend Andrea from like her softball team and sleepovers where I knew some of the people bu tthey weren't mostly things I was at but I just couldn't handle her throwing it out.
So in trying to organize it, I am finally really starting to part with some of it. It really got oeverwhelming. Family dinners with families I don't know...gone. Vacations I didn't go on...mostly gone. Ex Boyfriends of my friends...mostly gone. Ok not mostly I still kept a lot of crap, but for instance if I had 25 pictures of Teres and some guy she went on one date with, i narrowed it down to 2 or 3. THough I did keep the whole scrapbook diana cuz really that is something that needs to be taken as a whole. I tried to organize all the photos in time order in an album but highschool was ten years ago and not even knowing what some of the events were made it extra hard so I just threw them all in a book, with the exception of a separate book for senior year that is super organzied and decorated and proly up there with one of the gayest things i've ever done..and that is quite a list!
Anywho, the point is, if you are getting rid of photos , just give them to me instead....WAIT NO THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT I MEANT THROW THEM OUT I DON"T NEED MORE RANDOM PHOTOS (but p.s secretly i want more rnadom photos! NO I DON"T) but i suppose if you just like dropped them off at my door I would have to take them right?

I think all photos have an expiry date in my mind. After that point, I just get bored looking at them. I don't have photos of anyone from anywhere because most of them live in my head - just the way they were when I last saw them. Sometimes I stumble across my former classmates on the net and it shocks me that they have got so old and sometimes so fat and makes me somewhat sad - it is almost as if the perfect memory I have of them is tarnished.

I predict that in 15-18 years you will end up on the hit A&E show hoarders.

i don't love the scanning in , i like the actual prints to a point, but we'll see, that is prolly what i'll end up doing wiht ones i really don't care about..on the other hand i am currently printing out tons of more recent photos to make albums out of. there is something I like about flipping through an album

I have a "sort of" solution for you. Why don't you just scan them all in. Then you can take that giant box and fit it all on one DVD.

The end of an era....
Congratulations!! Can't wait to hear about experiences at the new work place. You should make a new resolve at this brand new change and blog more often!! Your journals are so insanely hysterical. No one else's come even close.
