so my neighborhood is having this huge garage sale week so my dad decided we should have one, too.

i have a ton of old valuable stuff shit in my closet/drawers that i went through to find things to sell. and i found a bunch of old books, pictures, cards, etc. that made me reminisce back on the days when i got those things.

it made me wanna cry. i found old pictures of my hamster (she was my first pet and i loved her ok?) and of me back in like, 4th grade. i forgot how much i looked like a dude. i had long hair and i lol'd at the fact that i always wondered why boys didn't like me.

i also found old yearbooks from middle school/junior high and i was like, ''ahh, i remember those days.''

it was sorta sad but i found some things that i'm glad i found because i can still use them! i found my recorder and blew in it as hard as i could because i remember i used to do that to annoy my brother and my boyfriend was like, ''wtf, i thought you just screamed.''

so, cc, have you ever gone through your closet and found things that you forgot you had? tell me about it because i'm bored.

Yessss. I cleaned out my headboard and found a really really old picture of me from a horseback riding trip. Now I can show my boyfriend I really did have short hair XD

I do this a lot. The other day I was looking through my closet and found a pair of these converse shoes. I was like... wtf. When did I get these?

They look really cool though, so I wore them the other day haha.

That and just yearbooks / old clothes / notes from friends / other normal stuff.

it brings back memories, ha.

and if you don't want those converse send them to me plz. :x

Yeah that happens to me all the time since I clean my room ever other year. I pushed all my stuff under my bed and when I finally get to clean it out, I'm sure I'll find a whole bunch of crap I forgot I had under there.

Shit, I do that every few year and I always find some new stuff...my room is full of old crap hidden away that I'd completely forgotten about.

The other day I found this book thing from when I was little, which I used to document animals I photographed (it only had a sheep, a tiger and my old pet cat in it). The last page has a picture of my old cat in it (the only surviving picture), and had some shit written underneath it like: "This is my cat _ _ _. He was the best cat ever, but he ran away and I don't" And it just stops there :( Fuck, and then I found a little box of feathers from my first cockatiel who only lived 2 years then died from liver failure. Fucking sad, man...

then again, I found my 10+ years old recorder and tin whistle. Damn, you'd think they'd teach us to play worthwhile instruments.

I just found my yearbook from when I was in kindergarten.

We were all so cute and little back then. :)

I move alot so all of my crap is pretty recent. Though I have this thing called a secret box, it has all of my old diaries, letters I wrote to myself, and to other people. It's really cool to read to see what my life was like.

Looking under my side table, I found:

I found my old journal, from when I was about 4 years old. It was so adorable, I wrote so horribly then!

I also found, a box with a picture of every pet I ever had. (about 40 pictures)

I found a vanilla bean in a container, that I absolutely loved (cuz it smelled sooo goood) and the scent was still wonderful. After years. c;

And I also found a dead frog. DX

Oh dear god.. cleaning my room and packing to go to college unearthed SO MUCH STUFF. I was like, swimming in an ocean of memories.

I found things from like, middle school, old newspaper clippings, notes, yearbooks, my corsages from proms, drawings - I kept everything. It honestly made me cry.

I actually kept the really important stuff in a trunk, and that trunk is the keeper of my memories, seriously.

i loveee going through my old stuff. it's so fun.

Nostalgia is amazing And kind of retarded

I love it. Finding old things is fun. :3

I haven't cleaned recently, but when I do I always find tons of silly old drawings. x)

And money. I always end up finding money. Maybe I'll do some more scavenging and see if I can find any spare change under my mattress.

I still have feathers from my pet cockatiel too! It still makes me sad - I'm glad I have them though, I had him my whole life up til I was in 8th grade and my sister let him go =

Oh lordy! Every time I clean out the closet, I find something I forgot I had.

HAHAH

how rank is it when your cleaning your closet and you find an old moldy sandwich or something though? like, your mum would make you lunch for school and one day you didnt eat it, so you end up throwing it away somewhere.. then you stumble upon it years later LOLLLL

I remember cleaning out my room and finding an old Barbie tea set. I used to play with it when I was four/five and shockingly all the peices were there. Then a while ago I found a school photo of all my friends back when I was six. It made me sad, because I never kept in touch with them. D: And I know they're all back at my old town. I'll have to visit one day. =D But finding things you forgot about it always fun. And sad. xD

LOL A DEAD FROG? that's slightly gross.

POGs. god i remember when those were the coolest things ever.

i have this thing for keeping everything. i found a plushie that belongs to my mom a few days ago. :) and decided to see what was in the film of my old camera, which led me to photos of my old puppies, who were poisoned. :c
