That Reminds Me Of...

Whenever you see a deck of cards, are you reminded of your old Uncle Tom? Do you think of that awesome summer you had a couple years ago whenever you see a pitchfork? What things bring back memories for you?

The song, Besame Mucho, has been stuck in the back of my mind for ages. Back when I was in first or second grade, I was obsessed with outer space. In fact, I had wanted to be an astronaut. Back then, I used to check out every book I could find about space at the library. Well, one day, I was reading a certain book when I came across a passage about the end of the world when the sun would burn out and the planets would get swallowed up by a black hole. Of course, at that age, I was pretty scared at that notion. This is where that song comes in. It was playing in the background as I was reading that book. Ever since then, I would get this sinking feeling in my stomach every time I hear that song. I still do!

Also, the song Small of Two Pieces reminds me of ceramic tiles, grout, and skirts. We redid the floors last summer, and that was the time when I listened to this song quite often. I still can't break the connection between that song and those tiles! And the skirts-- that was because I wore skirts for most of the summer.

Believe it or not, I'm not going to mention a song this time! Back in elementary school, I used to know this one girl, who was probably the best friend I had ever had. For her birthday, I attempted to make her a dreamcatcher, but that didn't work out too well. I ended up giving her something else, but whenever I think of dreamcatchers, I'm reminded of her.

I wasn't quite sure if this thread belonged in the Quiet Place or General Discussion, so I just decided to put it here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Because I'm kinda uber-sentimental, I've hoarded a lot of my shit from the past 21 years of my life (meaning they're around my house somewhere, attic/crawl space/some closet). This mainly just includes toys and games, books, video tapes, weird stuffs, old doodles, various mementos, old schoolwork... I'll run into these things once in a while, or something will come up in my life that'll make we wanna dig up the stuff. A few weeks ago, one of my friends went on a basketball card buying spree, including the purchase of 50+ Michael Jordan cards. This made me dig up my old collection, of sports cards in general, (as well as a bunch of other people's) so we could check 'em out. [My Joe Montana set is legendary]. Also stumbled onto a ginormous collection of Pokemon cards too...

That's sort of the same with me. I have a huge box of junk spanning from my infant years up until now because I never know when I'm going to want to dig through that box. Yes, I even have trivial worksheets from first grade. 5 dimes equals 50 cents!

A couple of times in class, I would just start laughing. When asked why I'm laughing, it would be because I just remembered something funny from way back... or because I remembered a time I started laughing about something when I remembered something that happened way back. Wow.

I did that once...during a math exam.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
