Yes, you would rather I do nails. Hell, I’d rather I do nails.  But I ballsed it up last time and don’t want that to happen again. And both mending and going through old personal work and journals needs to be done.  I have been carting around too much stuff that is a decade old and of no worth to me.

For a recent project I had to go through a bunch of journals from when I was 19 and I realised that I need to treat them like I did my sketchbooks—pulling out and rebinding the good stuff and recycling the rest.  Drawings and such that I don’t need also need to be given away or trashed. I don’t want to end up in situations friends have, trying to find homes for things last minute (speaking of which, if you’re in the Portland area, check out You Want This, there is some good shit there).

In a similar vein, I have baskets of clothes to be mended, or given away.  And a closet of clothes that I wear only half of (well, and then there is a third that is costume, but we don’t count that).

So, for March, I am seeing what works and should be kept and what doesn’t. Should be fun.
