Amazin Amazon
Box full of attitude., originally uploaded by ★Tiffany☆.
I ordered a book from Amazon.com today, and it had been the first time I used Amazon in a long time. It was like looking into the past, because every address I've had in the past ten years is saved in my account information. The address of grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and girlfriends are also in there. They're all people I have sent stuff to over the years, and they are all listed in my information. Some of them passed away years ago; others aren't in my life anymore.
It was strange and nostalgic. Sometimes seeing a name is all you need to bring back a flood of memories, like of my grandfather and his massive library. I don't even remember what book I sent him, but I'm sure he read it. He must have had a few thousand books, and I don't doubt that he read all of them.
On a side note, apparently there is an entire group on Flickr devoted to animals sleeping in amazon.com boxes.
