flotsam + jetsam?

... seemingly meaningless stuff piled in a drawer over the last few years.

meaningless stuff - like smilla's little cast; champagne corks from milestone BDs; dozens of happy fortune cookie fortunes; colored glass chips from a dream trip to sweden; purple chopsticks from a dinner with lindsey at ohio u; artfully designed knife/spoon/fork combo from denmark; a 3D button of john lennon from the '60s; needlepoint coasters my sister made for me when she was ten; political cartoons celebrating obama's election; the first npr tape of santaland diaries read by david sedaris, before he was famous; pizza box labels describing our favorite combo; vintage cookie cutters i had to have, but never used.

yea... this stuff, tokens from happy times and great memories. stuff that shapes our lives, stuff we just can't toss. flotsam + jetsam?... i'm not so sure.

what's your flotsam + jetsam?
