    Default I'd put it in my shoebooox, my shoebox of li-yi-i-ife!

    Do you have a shoebox or a cereal box or any kind of box you keep mementos and such in? Everything I've ever owned has some kind of sentimental attachment for me, so I have several different kinds of boxes to store my life. I keep letters and stickers and a whole bunch of different things in mine.

    Discuss shoeboxes of life.

    I have a notice board in my room. Well, it's more of a "Memory Board", I guess.

    On it are...
    - A flyer for the "Los Arcos" restaurant which I ate from in Mijas, Spain.
    - A photo of the Blue Lake in Wales. It's my favourite place in the world.
    - A photo of me with the coast of Barmouth, Wales in the background.
    - A photo of Harlech Castle in Harlech, Wales.
    - A photo of me and my Mum in Bodnant Gardens, the Lake District.
    - A "Thank You" card with Winnie the Pooh on it. It was given to me by two of the young girls in my religious congregation after I babysat them for a night. We played "Rugrats" on their Playstation for hours...
    - A post-it note from Rachel, a five year old who really adores me for some reason.
    - A poem that shows how ridiculous and full of holes the theory of evolution really is.
    - My baby tag. It was put around my wrist just after I was born.
    - A photo of my Mum and Dad when they were really young.
    - A phone number for the local Chinese Restaurant (xD).
    - A phone number for the nearest Pizza Hut (xD - again).
    - A photo of me with Rico, WWE Superstar.
    - A photo of me with Rob Van Dam, WWE Superstar.
    - A photo of me with Kane, WWE Superstar.
    - A photo of me with Kurt Angle, WWE Superstar.
    - A ticket from an Avril Lavigne concert that was held in Manchester last year.
    - A ticket from a Jools Holland concert that my Uncle took me to in December, 2000.
    - A couple of cards I made at work, one of which has the famous "Footprints" poem on it.
    - Two tickets from WWE's Passport to Pain events, held in Manchester and Birmingham last year.
    - A "Wonderful Grandson Award", given to me by my Grandma many years ago. I treasure it.
    - A Goofy (Disney Character) soft toy that my Boss bought for me during his last trip to the States.
    - A Rey Mysterio duffel bag, signed by Rey Mysterio himself!
    - A ticket from WWE's Tour of Defiance, held in Manchester in May of this year.
    - A passport photo of myself from a couple of years ago (it's hideous).
    - A photo of my cat's kittens (who are now with good owners) eating kitty meat.
    - A ticket from Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
    - A receipt for Mick Foley's "Have A Nice Day" book, which I purchased from a nice girl on E-Bay.
    - A "Ladies Toilets" sign from my place of religious meetings. I borrowed it during the 'Refurb'.
    - Note: My Squall pendant, ring and chain were also on this board, until I gave them away in the last EoFF quiz.

    Phew. I didn't know I had so many memories.

    I have a shoebox, yes, I am a chiché

    I recently went through it and I discovered that I had a lot of stuff that I really didn't need to hold onto anymore, namely a lot of useless junk that I borrowed from my no ex-boyfriends and stuff they have given me, pictures of me and my old friends from school and concert fliers and programs.

    It was nice to look at all the memories, but it was also time to let a lot of them go.

    No, I don't that kind of a box. If I want to keep things/mementos I just put them in my drawer, closet or whatever.

    I just put things wherever. I'm sure there are things from 10 years ago lying around here somewhere.

    I have all my notes from high school (notes from friends and all, not class notes) in two shoeboxes (there's a lot, and they're hilarious) and I have various keepsakes in little jewelry boxes.

    All of my dad's Vietnam War stuff that he's given me is in this box he made (originally for his speed) that's done up with a memorial to the 12 other guys he made it out of Cambodia with. It's really cool.

    edit: oh and I keep the ticket stubs from every concert/show I've ever been to.

    I have a shoebox where I keep every movie stub of every movie I've ever been to in my life. It's about a quarter full at the moment. And on the back I try to write down the people I was with when I saw it.

    I have a little steel box with spinning discs and a magnetic read/write head that I keep inside my computer.

    Yeah. I'm so cool.

    I'd rather take pictures, so I have a photo album instead of a box to keep stuff in. :o

    I have a shoebox of my Pokemon stuff from a WHILE ago. I also have the box for my GBC, Pokemon yellow and silver, Pokemon stadium 2, and all of my rares from Magic TCG.

    I do have one but all that's in it at the moment is a bunch of notes that I wrote myself whenever I've had a problem. There's a crap load of them. If you called it a shoebox of life though, it would look like I'd had a really crappy life.

    choas: Well, when I was little, I had stuff like that. I just put useless items into the box. It was a Tissue box by the way.

    Rubedo: Really, I would just stuff some pennies in it. I would occasionally find some lying around in the house. Other than that, when I grew up a bit more, I had nothing like that.

    I have a drawer full of some old letters from people and comics I used to draw in junior high.
