I am a thousand words...or more...
Ahhh, the wonders of packing up your stuff for a move...you stumble upon old boxes with trinkets of old inside, waiting to be rediscovered. Well, I rediscovered some of my old trinkets, underneath my bed...pictures...loads of them. So much for trying to get all my packing done tonight, cuz I totally got caught up looking at those pictures. I just spent the past 3 1/2 hours listening to the soft, rhythmic pitter-patter of the falling rain outside, some KIIS FM, and looking through hundreds and hundreds of pictures...wow, I didn't realize I had so many, and from so many different moments in my life. Pictures really are worth a thousand words...actually more. Some people change so much throughout the years, and some, not so much. Some are in a lot of the pictures, throughout the years, some, not so much. I couldn't believe how much emotion was being drawn from me looking at these pictures...it was amazing. It was so awesome reminiscing over old pics of friends past, present, and those people that only took a glimpse into our lives. I really need to put them in an album. I even found two rolls of undeveloped film and I'm going to get them developed first thing in the morning...and I'm quite anxious to see what those pictures can be of. I wonder one day when i am long gone, if someone will find these pictures and wonder what we were doing in them. Will they pick one up and say, wow, these people looked like they were having the best times of their lives...and they'll probably be right. Goodness, I'm sounding like I'm 100... Anyway, so like I said, I didn't get to really pack much, just reminisce...first with the roomie about old times and old relationships...it was a hilarious talk...then after he went to sleep, that's when I came upon those frozen moments in time.
My time in Irvine really is coming to a close...and fast. I look at the apt and as I slowly(big emphasis there) pack up stuff and put things in boxes, I notice how empty it's getting, and then I realize wow...I've been here for the past 7 years...and it's been a most memorable 7 years too. Kinda sad that this chapter of my life is coming to a close, but what new chapters may open, skies the limit. It's not like I'm moving to BFE or anything, but it IS a major event in my life...being that there is no woman, and no job...ha ha ha, gotta have somethin to talk about, right? Anyway, not much has happened thus far this week, mainly packing and making sure all the bills are being taken care of before we leave for mammoth this weekend. Ooooo, I 'm so excited for mammoth, it's been a while since I hit the slopes and we've been getting some nice rain, with more to come before the weekend is upon us. Yay!
