My parents asked me to come by their house yesterday to look at a box that had some old stuff of mine. I still have some of my things at their house, mostly old art projects from high school and college I haven't had the time or heart to ween through. I figured I would just get there toss the box into the car, get some dinner with them and heard home. Then deal with it when I dealt with the rest of the art I am unsure what to do with (a goal I will be eventually tackling after the main living space in my apartment is finished.)
I was wrong. It turned out to be four boxes and an odd array of things. Some of it art, but a lot of it very old paperwork, weird bric-a-brac from old hobbies and interests I had such as gemstones, anime pins and keychains, incense burners, convention passes, concert tickets. There were also old gift cards, notebooks from school, flash cards, and even more old books! They also had a bag of clothing for me to look at. Basically a whole array of old history I had forgotten about or thought was lost among the stuf in my apt here.
I managed to consolidate the four boxes into one. Some of the stuff in the box was kept because I know people who would want some of them items, not because I necessarily wanted to keep it. The books and clothes will be donated with a few other odd items. The box itself will stay with my parents for now while I work on the purging project here.
