I'm proceeding with the plan to eschew worldy possesions. Kind of a road block when I realize that I have very few worldly possesions. But, I've gone through my books (filled a box), my clothes (three banker boxes), and extra tchachkas (one more box). That's about it. Plus an alarming amount of straight up trash. I still have a lot of crap, but I tell myself that I need all of it. I think I'll do this again next week and see what else I can release.
On the positive side, I see that most of what I own is straight up paper goods: in folders, piles, on the walls, not to mention my extensive and well developed library. Next in line is an alarming amount of pencils, and following that, my robot collection.
When I find myself trying to decide whether to put something in the "keep" or "give away" box, I repeat a mantra created by my parents (in their infinite wisdom): "Pack light, move fast. If you care about it, carry it yourself. And it should all fit in the back of a VW Bug."
Funny Every Day
If I Listened to Music
What I Love
The feeling of cheap paper when you’ve written on both sides of it—how it folds so easily in your hands.
Parking lot reverberations from speakers—public announcements or the radio.
The smell of dark, dusty leather.
Doing dishes with someone.
Wet asphalt.
The scar in the middle of my lip and the lump on my rib and the crescent on my hand.
Ringing poetry.
Some days I'm in love with everything I see.

Katelyn I will help you with your worldly possesions. I will take you clothes and books. i like them all. And don't even think about giving away your robots, and things from around the world. I will take them if you don't want them.
