throw away 30 things I don't need

wheat free glutin free taste free terrible.

14. homemade ashtray I proclaim 2006 the year of no cigarettes. hoorah.

15. whoopee cushion a stocking stuffer. I keep every piece of anything because I’m too damn sentimental.

16. magazine clippings again, piles of papers for sentimental reasons, past pop culture obsessions, silly me.

17. mixcd from someone I’d prefer to forget.

10. old blanket. cleaning out a closet with Kiernan, getting rid of a left-behind comforter that’s taking up space and will never be used.

11. cruddy doormat also left behind by the last apartment dweller.

12. my dorm vacuum I loved this little handvac, but the cats peed on it at the last place I lived and it’s just too gross.

13. mini rexsew cordless sewing machine a cute littel 4.99 goodwill buy that never worked for more than half a second at a time.

7. I have an annoying little quirk where I feel the need to save the boxes for everything. I’m trying to throw this – I can get new boxes if needed, right? Anyway, this thing’s huge, it’s taking up too much storage space.

8. cost either 7 or 9 dollars at Goodwill (can’t remember which) and it’s kind of a piece of crap. It served it’s purpose, now I’m chucking it.

9. another packrat tendency; thinking I need to archive every stupid magazine that comes my way.

one of those cheesy-but-classic orange plastic pumpkin-shaped buckets for collecting Halloween candy. I was using it kind of as a junk bucket for my car, but it’s all dented and pretty ugly and I feel like I’m pretty over it.

It made this high-pitched keening noise while it was working, and I’m finally chucking it instead of attempting to turn the car’s volume high enough to mask it.

This was my mother’s, and I stole it from her before I realised that it was really old and had the approximate texture of cottage cheese. But I kept holding onto it “in case I needed it”. But I’ve got rubber cement now, so I’m tossing this shit before it becomes a biohazard.

bought at Eckerd. Meant to return it after I saw how ugly it was, but in typical procrastinator fashion, I never did. I’m not gonna wear it, so I tossed it.

bought at the Goodwill for 50 cents – no real loss.

I got this super cute star touch-light at the dollar store. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for more than a minute. I’d been keeping it around in hopes of somehow making it work. But, seriously? Fuck it.
