I got Steam about 2 months ago. For those of you who don't know what Steam is... It's a giant gaming service for the PC in which you can buy games from various sources and open them through Steam to play them. Now, the first thing I bought on Steam I am amused to admit was a pack of games from my childhood including Freddy Fish, Putt-Putt, and Pajama Sam. My favorite of which is still undeniably Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack (and Fatty Bear still kicks my butt just like he always used to). Surely these games are made for people WAY younger than I am, but regardless this is a giant blast from my past and it amuses me to no end to play such simple games. I keep looking for more good bundles from Humble Bundle to get but they haven't come along yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one I suppose and see what comes out in the next few months. I love supporting Humble Bundle by buying from them because they give part of the money you spend to certain charities.
Minecraft... I never used to get the hype. But, Believe you me... I do now. A few months back, my significant other introduced me to the world of Minecraft, simple yet repetitive. And at first I refused to play, explaining that I just don't get it and I don't find it amusing... But one day I tried it... And believe it or not, I'm entirely hooked! I don't do anything else when I'm on Minecraft. The world outside the screen doesn't even exist anymore once I start playing... no joke.

My Get Rid of 100 Things List
Yes, it's late as usual but here it comes!
OK! So let's review the rules here real quick. Multiple items of the same type are good but they do not count as multiple pieces of the 100, so throwing away 100 pieces of paper does not qualify. Keep in mind not all of these things necessarily went in the trash, some of them went to other people who needed them more than I did.
1. Old papers from Elementary School and Middle School
2. Random tags and boxes from clothes and beauty products (I have a problem... I know.)
3. Dried up nail polish (The stuff I hadn't used in ages anyway)
4. Empty hair products and used lotions
5. Useless papers and cards from my memory box (Obviously things I don't intend to remember... Haha)
6. Unopened but definitely expired snack foods
7. Hair dying materials
8. Stained clothes
9. Old clothes
10. Old hair accessories (Stuff I'll never use now that my hair is a pixie)
11. Old shoes
12. Old toys (except those Polly Pockets man because those are mine for the rest of eternity!)
13. Old books (The one's I'm not keeping for my kids, if I ever have any)
14. Makeup that I trial tested but didn't like.
15. Nail polishes
16. Old jewelry
17. Random trial/travel sized toiletries I never plan to use
18. Packaging to my kitchen products
19. Giant clumps of dog hair and people hair (scraped out of the carpet of course)
20. My childish (and rather decrepit) Crayola crayon coin bank (because everything is on plastic now!)
21. Empty whiskey bottle (I was saving it, but who needs a Jack Daniels that's empty when I could have a full one instead?)
22. Laundry and cleaning supplies from college (I don't have my own bathroom now so what am I supposed to do with these?)
23. Old, finished Mad Libs (But to be fair, I did read them first and rip out my favorite/the funniest ones.)
24. Doodles, poetry and other assorted creative writing type things that weren't valuable to me in any way
25. Writing utensils that no longer write
26. Extra porcelain jewelry boxes
27. Old and empty makeup palettes (Which I found out through another blogger that Sephora collects.)
28. Old calendars, and planners
29. My old address book from when I was too little to keep an address book properly
30. A broken and leaking e-cigarette cartridge (Kept the battery in case I get the urge to buy another cartridge)
31. A giant pile of broken clothing hangers (they got eaten by my closet and snapped by the amount of clothes I have been trying to stuff in it.)
32. Pots and pans from my college days (They went to my man's new house.)
33. Old blender (Also to his new house.)
34. Extra Keurig (Another donation to his new place, because we have one at my house and not enough room to put up a second one.)
35. Old, unfinished craft projects and dried up clay
36. Broken exacto knives (from my craft kit.)
I'm more than a quarter of the way done! I'll keep updating as I go, but this is harder than it looks!

General Updates
I have a few things for you, and I swear I'll get back to my random musings and life events it seems you enjoy so much as soon as time permits it.
1. Still working on the throw away 100 things challenge. Getting close, but not quite there yet.
2. School started again last week, YAY senior year of college! (ish)
3. The whole going to the gym thing I keep going on kicks with? Yeah that doesn't happen much.
4. As for the "in with the new" part of my last post... Giant beauty haul from Ulta arrived a week ago. Can't wait to start working on some new posts (see my other blog)
5. Stuff's been rough the last few months, but hopefully its all calming down and things will go smoothly for a while so I can get back into my habit of morning coffee and a morning blog muse as it used to be last year. Probably not going to happen daily anymore (I've got so much more to do than I used to), but hopefully at least once a week. (My goal is two a week really as a minimum, but let's aim low and overachieve shall we?)
