I just threw away my childhood.*

*originally from LJ

My dad made me clean out the bookshelf where I've been keeping my various folders and old books, etc.. I had to fit it all in a box, which means there was a lot of throwing out to do. It's really hard throwing away something with an A+ or 101% on it. It is! I threw away the above-average child and now I'm left with a mediocre pseudo-adult. This sucks! I want to be a kid again!

I know I'll have no use for my Hamlet notes ever again; and I know a lot more about Mendelian inheritance than I did 4 years ago... but a part of me keeps thinking that maybe, in some weird way, I will need these things again. I was hoping my brother can use some of my school stuff, but that's obviously not happening. Maybe my kids??

So now the last 20 years of my life have been reduced to a 1ft x 2 ft x 1 ft DELL box my laptop came in. I managed to save some of my more interesting essays and reports (like my family tree thing with copies of pictures of my great-great grandparents - which I lost immediately after making the copies - sorry grandma!). I also decided to keep my Barron's AP Gorvenment book. Who knows, maybe one day I'll need to quickly brush up on my US government for some snotty party or something.

On another note, my house is a death trap for my stuff! I inevitably lose something every time I bring it home. Right now I can't find my DUNE video tape. "We didn't touch it." No Shit! It just walked off by itself. I haven't seen those tapes since August. It took me 30 mins to find my big Sad Sam dog. It's a pretty damn big dog, yet they managed to hide it anyways. I left it under the stairs in August, but it wasn't there. Then my dad said he moved it to my grandma's room, but there was nothing of mine there. In that case it MUST be in my room right? NO! It was in my parents' room! Besides misplacing my stuff, I hate doing laundry at home because half of it always ends up in everyone else's drawers. My brother gets pretty much all my socks and tshirts. My mom can't tell our bras apart - I mean come on! I won't go in to how easy it is to tell those apart but one key feature would be the underwire. And I don't even want to know who takes my underwear! Most people bring duffels of laundry back home, but I'd rather stay dirty and wait to bring it back to school and do it myself.

I want my Dune tapes!!!!!!!
