I remember getting my first small locker in middle school. I felt so grown-up, like I had so many important items that I just couldn't possibly carry them all so I had better place them in my very own secure spot. Nice. I had a shelf for my Bonnie Bell Lip Smacker and my Love's Baby Soft. You know, the really important items.
In High School a lot of serious thought went into who you would share your locker with. Oh the drama if you picked one friend over the other! Sharing a locker is the equivalent of "moving in together" so decorating proved to be a lesson in give-and-take. I clearly remember needing to have a picture of Timothy Hutton on my locker door - circa 1980, "Ordinary People". That was a deal breaker for me. Take me, take my Timothy. (He's currently filming the TNT series "Leverage" in my city of Portland, OR and oh how I wish I could find him and have him sign that same pic!)
Since I've recently found my diaries in the attic, all of the emotions of that young age are flooding back. *gulp* It's pretty funny. And also very pathetic. If only my current life were as simple as my youthful diary entries about lockers.
