It's that simple, that's all I have to do. but being a pretty materialistic person, this was difficult. I decided before hand that it had to be something out in my room because if I liked it I would have it out. and I couldn't compromise too much- i actually had to like what I was going to throw away and kind of regret doing it. I ended up picking this jade colored glass elephant figurine I have on my shelf. i really like it. I bought it at the flea market a while back and it looks nice in my room. I used it last year as a model for a clay elephant I made in art class. When I picked it up I had this feeling inside like "nooo! this will look cool in my college dorm!" so I put it back down and began to look for something else. But I went back to it, knowing it was what I needed to choose. I'm not going to throw this in the trash, however. I'm going to put it somewhere. I got the idea from Harold and Maude, which I just finished watching. Harold gave her something he made that said "harold loves maude" and she comments that it is the best gift she has received in a very long time before throwing it into the ocean. he is puzzled, so she explains that "now i'll always know where it is"
I think this is the perfect philosophy for my little elephant. I havent decided where I will place him, but I will update when I do because I have to go now. There's a bonfire tonight, fun!

I swear I didn't read your post before I wrote mine, but isn't weird how we both started talking about how simple it was in the first sentence of our post and then we both said that we figured it would end up being something in our rooms? Weeeeird. We are too alike for our own good. Anyway, I know exactly the elephant you are talking about, and that makes me REALLY sad because I love that elephant. It is so pretty. I love jade, and elephants are my favorite animal, and it really does look so good in your room, and you can't throw too much of a good thing away!!! Ahhhh, sorry, I'm making it even harder on you, but...that was a good choice I guess. :)
