Experiment: 30 Day Purge

No sweat.

I got rid of so much stuff in the last 30 days.

• Motorola pager
• Dora the Explorer pillowcase set (unopened)
• Pretty Together by Sloan (CD)
• photos of Tory L.
• a knockoff Chanel bag
• A bunch of ticketmaster stubs I'd been keeping for TEN YEARS including Live, Remy Zero, Travis, JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP
• like 2 years worth of Wired and J.Crew catalogs
• a few dozen wedding announcements I've been holding onto for some reason, including hers - they were sitting in a giant bird's nest. Incredible. I guess I feel bad about throwing away photographs.
• Motorola bluetooth earclip. Used once.
• 9 pairs of soccer socks (kept 3)
• Doc Martins sandals circa 1999 (not the exact model, but close)
• 2 pairs of jeans (one dating from 1999)
• over 800 notes from grade school and middle school (kept about 50 truly hilarious ones)
• Death to Smoochy on DVD
• my New York City Public Library card (whimper)
• a half-finished scarf that's the color of vomit
• my Paulo & Bill workshirts
• a really gross bag of old make-up, including the sparkly blue eyeshadow from my SENIOR PROM.
• a pendant necklace of kittens suckling a unicorn
• Oyster card
• the christmas tree
• the off-white fabric I've been carting around for too long and not doing anything with
• bubble wrap from every piece of bulk mail I've been sent in the last two years
• Hannah's Hang-out Guide
• my fake engagement ring. I blame Micci.
• my grad school acceptance letters
• my short story rejection letters
• a rose temporary tattoo
• my very first Western Digital hard drive (it was enormous and only held 80GB. my first portfolio was on here!)
• lots and lots of mucus (Bronchitis)

To celebrate, I'm going to buy a Wii.
