All of my pictures of me and my friends are from happy times. Have you ever noticed that? We try to capture beautiful moments when everyone is happy or at least content. For some reason that depresses me. Where are all the moments that I stood through trials? Or the times when I failed, but still learned valuable lessons? I wrote about most of them, but will the words remind me of them as vividly as pictures would have?
On the corkboard in front of me are pinned many of my happiest times. There's a flock of geese at Pioneer's Park, Jeff pointing at something with the ocean at his back, the pyramids in Mexico, Smudge in my old room, Danielle and Nick in formal wear in front of my house, me and Tanya at graduation, Nick dressed as a geek and me dressed in a poodle skirt, Paul in his blue tux at spring banquet, Muffin at cheer camp, Kellie and Amber in band shirts, Ben Jeff Celeste and Jessica in the lobby of our hotel, Sarah and Dustin posing for the camera, my family at an old mining shaft it Colorado. Good times.

---------------oOo--------------- The Anal-Retentive List

Bolded are the ones that I do:

* you eat the M&Ms in color order.
* you fold your dirty clothes before putting them in the hamper.
* you have to have all boxes in the kitchen facing the same way and in order by size.
* you have all your canned goods organized by type, flavor, and use.
* and they're all facing the front.
* all your books, CDs, and movies have to be alphabetical order.
* you require no less than 200 threads per inch on your sheets.
* ...and they are tucked so tightly that you really could bounce a quarter on them.
* you alphabetize your spices.
* you actually bother trying to convince someone that the 3rd millenium hasn't begun yet (or that it *has* begun).
* you organize your closet by color, season, and fabric.
* you flame every person who sent you email because the emails weren't spelled correctly or gramatically correct.
* you remove the tires to wash inside the wheel-wells of your vehicle.
* you collect the little postcards in magazine issues...
* ...for recycling.
* every e-mail reply that you send has been through a grammar checker...
* ...and you correct the original message.
* you're on a "calorie-counting" diet and you count the calories in the hot sauce on your "Big Beef Burrito Supreme"
