Souvenirs.

Here's a post about three objects that I like. I called it "Souvenirs" because I'm listening to the song of the same name by Christine Fellows. It's my second-most-listened-to-song ever.

1) New bird randomly given to me by my pal Fea, for whom I recently bought the gnome. I think I'm going to name him Norman, and he sits on my bookshelf (pardon the dust).


I like birds a lot. I never knew that I liked birds a lot until Becca T would point out that lots of stuff that I like had birds on it, and I embraced my love of birds whole-heartedly. Now whenever friends see something cool that's bird-related, they either a) buy it for me; or b) email me about it. This weekend upcoming, I have a date with my friend Sandee to check out bird stuff at a little store in St. Ratford called "Anything Grows".

2) My work keys with neat-o owl key covers that Becca T gave me for Christmas. The owl faces are kind of rubbing off a couple of them. Good thing I have two extras. Many people at work comment about them, and a lot of the kids really like them and ask to hold them which makes me laugh because you'd expect that more from elementary school kids as opposed to high school kids.



3) My new copy of Jane Eyre. Today I was shopping in Indigo, and they had these "heirloom-bound" versions of classics on sale. Now, I don't really read as much classic literature as I should, but I've always loved Jane Eyre, and the book was so pretty (and did I mention it was on sale?), and I don't actually have a copy to call my own, so I bought it. Nevermind the fact that my parents have at least three copies of Jane Eyre in the book room at home. Yes, we have a book room. I guess most people would call it a library, but the shelves are all ghetto 'cuz my dad built them, so the term library is too fancy for the book room.



ps I should be doing something useful. Hence this completely useless post. :)
