2001-11-11 - 10:22 p.m.� This morning I moved the last of my boxes and bags out of storage. The furniture still needs to be moved, but that will be done on Saturday, by movers. Good thing too, because I am frickin' tired right now. I don't think I can move anything else. I'm done. I opened up and pawed through most of the boxes. It's fun, because I keep finding things I'd forgot about. And things I remembered, but missed terribly, like my big talking Tick action figure! The going through boxes is sort of bittersweet though. I keep everything. Countless pictures, letters, school projects, old diaries... I read through one of the diaries. I made an unfortunate choice-- the year of 1989. I was 13. That was a very bad year. That was the year leading up to, and including my parents' divorce, and moving up to Barrie. I found all the letters my friends sent me after the move. I loved getting those letters, but I hated them at the same time. I hated that they got to carry on with their lives, and didn't seem to be terribly affected by my absence, while I was ripped out of my comfortable life, and was struggling to fit in and make friends. I didn't read those letters today. The diary was enough. I did read through a few letters that I received when I went off to university. Those letters were great, and not at all bittersweet. Sure, I missed my friends, but it was a whole different feeling then. And some of the letters are still very entertaining-- especially the ones from my brother, and the ones from Sarah. I'm glad that I'm a packrat. All my little scraps of paper mean more to me than most of my so called valuables. I just wish that the sum total of my bits of paper didn't weigh quite so much. I am so tired and achy from hauling all of them.
