I think my closet is bulemic

No, seriously. These past weekends I’ve had a slight shopping binge (not a bad time of year for it, what with the sales and all) and the result has been that things don’t fit in closet quite as well as I would like. The only way to fix this is to purge the closet of whatever I can. It’s almost time to pack the sweaters away, but since my hair froze as I walked out to the car Monday morning, I don’t think it’s quite time for that yet.

So what can I do but pull out those shirts that have not been worn in two years, since before the infamous metaphor class or the last time I spent the summer in Brookings. (Mom, you can tell Dad I’m giving him back his fatigue-green jacket that I borrowed freshman year)

I suppose I should teach my closet to have a better body image and not react to changes in season to dramatically, but I think it will survive this ordeal. After all, occasionally a good purge can be necessary.

I’m speaking metaphorically, of course. Sometimes life gets cluttered, muddled with unnecessary business and activities. Now, the problem with a straightforward purge is that it eliminates everything. That’s not good. When we clear out our lives, we need to be careful that we don’t eliminate the good with the bad. Don’t give up all social activities, just learn to say “no” when your plate is already full.

Too bad I can't follow my own advice--extra choir events are not optional, so I have to live with the consequences of spending an evening in Beresford when I would rather be in my room reading my homework assignments. On the bright side, I now have hilarious pictures of me, Clay and Erin Kaiser in a photo booth at CiCi's Pizza.

I have achieved greatness!

Well, of a sort. The guys at Randomshirts.com have decided to use my t-shirt idea in the next people's choice contest! You can vote for it by purchasing it for only $16.95. I bought my own as soon as I found out, and it should be here in a few days. There is a slight chance of winning cash money or at least credit at the ransomshirts store, but I've got some pretty stiff competition--you chould check it out.

The shirt is actually a spin-off of a shirt they designed themselves, which Dianna owns. Do you all remember the Calvinist/Arminian shirt? Good. Now imagine what the shirt for Agnosticism might say. That's right: this shirt *might* exist. And with their spooky powers of genius, the guys at randomshirts even made it green. Amazing!

So now I can rest contented. I may not have a book published, but my idea was made into a t-shirt that ten, maybe even thirty people will buy and proudly wear!
