an upadte, part2. timecapsule
Let me take you back... through the mists of time... the year is 1987. The USA has Reagan as president and still performs nuclear tests on its own soil. Locally, Bob Hawke gets reelected for a 3rd term as PM, while in Europe they start digging the channel tunnel. Finally, in december, Prozac is released.
Back on the 7th May in 1987, I was newly 12 years old. And for some reason lost to memory, I sealed a timecapsule (in this case, a smallish envelope) and clearly put 'Do not open till 7 May 2005'. Yeah, I've always liked the number 3 and multiples thereof... for a long time 18 was my favourite number...
Now this timecapsule has been sitting in a rarely used journal of mine ever since, and never lost. So guess what gets opened, read, possibly embarrased about, and then re-sealed in a brand new timecapsule? :)
I'm creating a new timecapsule (for 12 years this time, to be opened in 2017 - when I'll be 42!) and will have a notebook at my b'day party also on may7 for people to contribute to - and which will then be sealed in the capsule.
This is my invite to ANYBODY to send me a pre-sealed envelope to drop into the new capsule. This is especially for anyone who can't make it to the party to give it to me personally.
Send me stuff to
Nemo
PO Box 578
Belconnen
ACT 2616
Australia
It will have to be here by 7th May though... (and please put the sealed capsule letter in another envelope and with covering letter. :)
Any questions, comment here, or contact me on +61 410 491 539 / earthnative@gmail.com :)
[edit: the new capsule will likely be an A3 sized postage envelope - the kind made of flexible but tough cardboardy type stuff. So letters are best to send me, or at most, a small thin book. I have a bunch of stuff I'm adding in myself too remember! (don't completely know what yet though... suggestions welcome :)
Thanks! ]
