Misty water colored memories

I was going through some boxes of my old stuff and decided to let you know what I found:
1. A pair of bell bottoms that I had painted for the 8th grade hippie dance. First of all, I didn't have bell bottoms, so my mom made them. I used puff paint to draw flowers and peace signs and other "hippie" symbols. The funniest thing is I wrote the word "Weed" under the ass part, and I remember, I didn't want it to be too visible, but I thought it was cool. Now I know that people were probably laughing at me. I would have laughed at me. Needless to say, I danced alone that night.
2. I found an old diary from when I was around 14. I've read this out loud to friends before because it is great comedic writing, though at the time I don't think that's what I was going for. I just read the first page, but I talked about how I hung out with my cousin on New Years Eve playing video games until 3 in the morning. According to me, this was "awesome". Little did I know it would all go down hill from there.
3. Apparantly, back in 94 and 95 (once again, 14ish) I saved all my returned homework in a cardboard filing thing. I have no idea why I did this.
4. I found an old scrapbook I started back in 91. On the first page is a picture of Fred Savage I tore out from what looks like the TV Guide. Beside it I wrote: "This is Fred Savage. He is on the Wonder Years. I am truly in love with him." So I have been in love! The rest of the book had ribbons from football games, our team was the Gilmer Buckeyes. Our mascot was a nut- not very intimidating. Nothing like the Pirate from my High School years...aarrr!
5. Misc other crap- a pair of Swiss clogs I used to have as a decoration and I one time made my younger neighbor wear around. All the "break a leg" cards I got for my starring role in Oklahoma (both a blessing and a curse- after that I was typecast as the old lady in all the school productions). I found a t-shirt I bought in London in the 8th grade that was too big for me now and said "London" in big silver letters (I think it was the cheapest one I could find).
So that's my life in a box. I think I stopped saving most stuff after the age of 15. From 18-now I only have a small box of stuff, and most of it is old concert stubs. All star for most embarrassing: Britney Spears (yes, it's true) and Limp Bizkit (Fred called all the ladies up on stage during "Faith"...I didn't go). All I can say is "Why?"
