I told my dad that I have Too Much Stuff. He didn’t believe me.
I think that’s really saying something about the consumer culture we’re in, that I, who has barely any clothes compared to most people, not a whole lot of yarn, but maybe more books than the average person, can be disbelieved when I say I have Too Much Stuff. Also, I’m packing it into the smallest room imaginable for four months.
My new dorm room is the tiniest thing on the face of existence.
17 things I can’t live without, as stolen from Rebee. (I’m turning it into a meme neener neener neener!) Sure to put a smile on the face:
1. Love. I think the only reason I survived last year was because I knew my family loved me and wanted to see me again.
2. Tea. I just got into this recently, like last year. But a world without tea seems like madness.
3. Star Trek: The Next Generation. Or Voyager. Voyager is a recent can’t-live-without.
4. E-mail. Send me more, more, mooore! I only get boring e-mails sent to the masses lately it seems. :(
5. Sunlight.
6. Short hair.
7. Charming clothes and knitting patterns.
8. My two cats, Pepper and Sugar. If one of them died unexpectedly, I don’t know how I’d be able to live.
9. Paper and pencils. Colored pencils. Those are hard to be away from.
10. This is getting harder. I think I’m skipping #10.
11. Music. Time to set up my speakers.
12. Louise Glück. Apparently I can’t live without her poetry.
13. Yellow and orange.
14. Airplanes. I just like traveling too much.
15. Contacts, because I hate not being able to see out the corner of my eyes with glasses.
16. A fire on a cold, grey day.
17. Green grass running through my toes and wind whipping through my hair.
So. What’s your 17 things?
Oh, I’m such a trend-setter. :P
3 is yes. I can’t believe I forgot that one. Also 6! Short hair ftw! Every time I grow my hair to my shoulders I just have to cut it off. My idea of short is really, REALLY short.
You can’t just skip #10, cheater.
Yay 13! But no red? D:
I’m putting this on my blog.
Okay Rebee, #10: Can it be two things? I’m thinking either the Internet or walking. I know, sounds so at odds right? Let’s just go with Internet. ‘Cause without it sending my mom a list of things to send to me would be impossible. And I wouldn’t be able to write to an audience. And I wouldn’t have found awesome friends.
