Bulletin boards

Maybe my creativity grows when I have a bulletin board. One day when I was at Jonathan and Tim's apartment near the end of last semester I stole two square pieces of Tim's corkboard and hung them above my desk. Since then I've been pinning random things to the corkboard. At the moment there are: several lists (things to do, movies to watch - as if I'll actually get the time to watch any), a couple IOU post-its, pictures of my family and friends, a yet-unused Canucks bumper sticker, the SJ&C faculty picture/Christmas card, a cut-out snowflake that a co-worker made for each person working at the Accent office one night in December, mine and Jonathan's read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year schedule, a blank SM application form (to remind Bryn to fill out the online form), a fortune cookie fortune that says I will soon begin a new line of work (I saved it because I'm hoping it's prophetic once May rolls around), and a fake parking ticket that Jonathan left on my windshield last October. I feel like those two packed squares of corkboard give me more ideas, even when the subject I'm writing about has nothing to do with anything pinned on there. Now I'm longing for a real bulletin board. If I had one I would be able to move my list-of-books-to-buy and my list-of-food-items-to-make from the fridge to the bulletin board. And just imagine how much more creative I could be if I filled up one of those!
