Snowflake Challenge 14

For Challenge 14:

In your own space, create your own fandom challenge.

I'm going to steal something from previous snowflake challenges and hope it doesn't come up in the last two days.

Please give a picture of or describe something close to you in the following categories. They can be physical objects or you can think more metaphorically. You can reply here or in your own journal.

• Something Blue:
• Something Red:
• Something New:
• Something Old:
• Something to be kept forever:
• Something to be discarded:

My answers

• Something Blue: My notebook for kanji drilling. It's very empty. ._.
• Something Red: My fukusabasmi. It's a silk pouch that's used in tea ceremonies to hold certain personal effects. This gives an ok demonstration of what it looks like and what's in it.
• Something New: I got a sticker of this image when in was in Japan. It's a lot cheaper than the print lol.
• Something Old: I have a first edition copy of Candide in English, published 1759. This is not the oldest book I own, but it is the oldest thing sitting right next to me.
• Something to be kept forever: My hard drive with my decades of writing in it, and the journals I have kept since I was maybe 5 years old.
• Something to be discarded: I guess I'll get rid of my Les Miserables Playbill. I don't really need it as a souvenir.

Something Old: The other laptop that I'm still moving stuff over from.
Something to be kept forever: The watercolour painting on the windowsill of a hummingbird sitting on a rosebush.
Something to be discarded: The rags in the packing box.

Does the watercolor painting have a story behind it?

A friend painted it, and gave it to me when I was a teenager. She's since passed away. I have a bunch of her paintings, but the hummingbird was always my favourite.
