Okay summer cleaning but still ;D I had three bins of stuff, that I'm pretty certain is going to be knocked down to one. Most of it was worthless stuff like old reciepts, credit card statements and bank statements. But some of this truly suprised me, some of the more interesting things I found were:
A ticket stub for V For Vendetta The Wallet I had from about age 11 to 18 An old NMU keychain, the letters long worn off but I remember getting it in 2004. My first dog's collar. A piece of bark from a palm tree from my vacation to Arizona in 2001. promotional bottle openers from the film "stealth"
I'm going to go through my "garbage" a second time to make sure there is nothing I want to keep. Then the stuff is off to the great dumpster in the sky.

It's always fun with one of those "why the hell do I still have this" moments.
I recently found a box of text books from Uni. That went into the recycling. And I found my cat's first collar. She doesn't have one anymore because she removes them within a day of my putting it on her.

When my brother cleaned his room a while back (for the first time in, like, a decade ;D) he not only found the first edition of Dragons and Demons (if he could have found the figures it would have been worth loads of cash), he also found 1000 kr in an envelope. It took him a week to clean his room... ;D Übereil

Cool! When I cleaned my room a few months back, I found: -a bunch of old stamps -about 200,000 Rupiah (equivalent of 20 USD) -some drawings my brother made 9 years ago -a pencil dating back to 1999 -my very first plastic toy car (got it for my 3rd birthday, in August 1994) -my first marble (as old as the car) -and about 2 bags of stuff to throw away ;D

This thread reminds me that I should be cleaning my place as well, if only I could lift my lazy arse for a moment...
