The odd and wonderful thing about computers is that they allow to you to keep everything, if you want. Multiple copies, versions, years and years of accumulated clutter, all in one tidy cube. They're the ultimate in closet organizers.
I've started taking photos of stuff I'm getting rid of; stuff I hate to part with, but can't justify keeping. And so there it all is now, still visually accessible and nostalgia-ready - yet reduced to a tiny pile of data, neatly stacked in a small folder on my hard drive.
Amazing.
Too bad I can't do the same with all the condiments clogging up my refrigerator.
About Me
- k8fh
- I'm just like everyone else; a mass of contradictions.... I want things to go my way, but I'm often disappointed by the outcome when they do. I love solitude, but choose to spend most of my time with people. I long for, but am terrified of, permanence. Learning to embrace (or at least endure) loss of any kind is my greatest challenge. I live in Oneonta with my good friend Joel, my ex-boyfriend's cat, Clovis, and a ton of plants.
