Entry 3: Movie Ticket Stubs

I collect movie ticket stubs. When I was born I did not have this problem. I developed it in college from one of those awesome people you meet in college. They become your friend in a day and you're friends for the rest of your life. This particular friend liked to go to movies and she liked to scrap book. I thought that was cool, so from then on I started collecting movie tickets with the idea that one day I would make a scrapbook of my life. In that book I would have a page just devote to the movies I've seen with the movie ticket stubs representing those movies.



First of all, I have come to the realization that I don't scrap book! If I did scrap book, I would have to clean my desk first to scrap book. And then when I start a project, such as a scrap book page, I would probably leave it out for a year with the intention of finishing it but then not finish it because I had other priorities "pop-up" in my life. I have this great "desire" to scrapbook, but do you see the dilemma I'm facing, it would become a super crazy mess.
Then what do you scrapbook about? In this case movie ticket stubs collected over the ten years of my life? That could be the start of a very interesting scrapbook, especially if I interjected my opinion about each movie, why I went to see it, and who I went to see it with. I am of course a very opinionated movie goer.
But who would read a scrapbook if it had words? I'm just saying. And when do you look at scrapbooks? I could see my volumes of scrapbooks sitting on my book shelves collecting dust. Is that a bad thing? Maybe. But it would be a wonderful record of the exciting things that happened in my life for other people to remember. Eh, are scrapbookers pack rats, that is the question!
So instead of scrap booking I am pack ratting in digital cyber space by blogging about my crazy idiosyncrasies.
