Apparently, I have a trend that I've had all my life, but only just now realized.
Ready for it?
I always have a junk drawer.
In my room, I have a dresser and in the bottom drawer is nothing but junk. It started one night many, many years ago when I didn't know what to do with the drawer, so I put some random stuff in so as not to have it all over my dresser. It's only grown from there. If you looked at it, it would be junk. To me it's random stuff that has loads of memories and meaning to me. For instance, the drawer might contain the movie stub to my first rated R movie, random BFFs and Friends Forever necklaces and bracelets from my childhood, pictures that never made it into a photo album, etc. I thought it only existed because I don't have enough space in my room to showcase all my fine junk treasures. I didn't think there was more to it than that.
Then I'm sitting at work yesterday and I open up one of my desk drawers for a piece of candy. Apparently that junk drawer habit has now continued into my work space. Not only is there candy in that drawer, there's other random stuff. It's not the same kind of sentimental junk as I have at home, but it's none the less a miscellaneous, "Why the heck is there a parrot magnet in here?" drawer.
I guess it doesn't really matter. However, I can't help but slightly worried that when I have my own home, I'm gonna have an entire junk room.
That's So Shway
When I'm really bored, I watch this series on CollegeHumor.com called Jake and Amir (http://www.collegehumor.com/jake-and-amir). Amir cracks me up! And I'm not ashamed to still be visiting collegehumor.com daily even though I've officially been done with college for an entire year.

Well, it's kind of more like having a Land of Misfit Toys buy for things, rather than a junk drawer. It's all about having a positive spin to it. :)
