Buffy protects my condiments

Sarah Michelle Geller's head floats on my fridge door. Yes, you heard me. I have a small magnet that I snagged from some Brit teen magazine a few years back that is Buffy's head. Just her head. I believe at one time I also possessed magnets of both an evening gown and a more Buffy-esque outfit on which to place her head, but they got tossed some time ago. Why, you may ask, do I have her head on my fridge? 'Cuz it's funny. And, because I loved the show.
If a cataclysmic event were to occur tomorrow and my fridge were somehow preserved, archeologists would be able to interpret who I was by what is on my door. Here is what they would find:
Photo of my friend Cherrill's kids
Photos of my friend Teresa's kids
Photos of my nephew
The last photo I ever took of my Dad
Photo of myself and others with Jay at his wedding reception
A mini calendar featuring sights in Italy
Mag pic's of Matt Bellamy, Trent Reznor (Jackie, that would be the guy who is Nine Inch Nails), Thom Yorke, and J.J. Redick
A P.J. Harvey postcard
various Monet magnets
appointment cards for the dentist and chiropractor
Until recently I also had up the photo of me with Bruce Campbell at his book signing and a postcard that said I Am God ( I liked this just because it seemed over the top obnoxious, but then I figured I was tempting fate and took it down...still have it though.)
I'm not 100% sure why I need to have these things up. I have always liked providing visual examples of what I like and who I am. I always had pictures up in my locker at school. I always had posters covering my walls all through my teenage years and into college. When I moved out on my own, I still surrounded myself with what I liked. To this day, I have up posters. Granted they are mostly art prints and are framed, but I have 2 different Radiohead posters up along with an Empire Strikes Back movie poster up in the computer room. I'm wondering if I have done this because I need some sort of reminder of who I am. Some sort of assurance that no matter what comes at me from "out there" I can come home and find some sort of security amongst what I see on the walls and on the fridge. I have only a few things up at work and they are mostly pop culture related. The door we open up for deliveries has a Hardy Boys poster I got when I picked up the first season DVD. We also have up a promo "poster" of Jon Stewart that we got when one of his books came in to the store. I put up an informational sheet that features a picture of one's spine with arrows pointing to each bit with explanations of what nerves control which parts of your body. I got it from the chiropractor's office. I was going to create a game that was sort of like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but instead it was Pin the Pain on #####. I won't name which employee it was in reference to. I will say she's made it her goal in life to suck as much as she can out of her "injuries."
Maybe all of this is a reflection of some deep seeded insecurity. Maybe it's some sort of strange nesting instinct. Maybe, it's reflective of the fact that Trent Reznor is one f**king sexy man. Yeah, that must be it.

Couple of quick bits:
Someone I don't know has read my blog! I saw a comment from Rebecca and I was perplexed for a moment. I'm very curious as to how she came across it. Did she hit the random blog button? I did and came across this Clay Aiken blog (which to be honest, is very well done even though I have no interest in Mr. Aiken). Hope you end up liking the movie Rebecca. Feel free to stop by again.
Invented a "concept" today. Speedy Procrastination: the ability to move quickly and create the appearance of actual work while drawing the task out for the entire day. We have more than one employee I'd like to strangle who have this skill. This is not to be confused with Authoritative Walking which is moving quickly and with purpose in order to breeze by customers because you really need to 1) pee and for me that means walking the entire length of the store to get to the bathrooms or 2) punch in or out for lunch, which also involves walking the entire length of the store.
