Objects Remind Me of People

I am writing this as I am eating breakfast and preparing for a job interview today, so please bear with me if this is slightly incoherent.

As I was falling asleep last night, I was thinking about the multitude of objects I have lying around my room. Funny thing is that a lot of these objects remind me of various people, whether they're connected or not! So I think I'm going to make a list of a few of these objects here...
  • Tiger was actually the first thing that came to mind. He is my sister's stuffed clownfish and whenever he is around, he always reminds me of her.
  • Not only do I have a teal shirt that reminds me of my dad, but my calligraphy stuff also reminds me of him. He was the one who originally introduced me to calligraphy, though it took a much more intensive study as a fine arts class in school to actually get me to really enjoy it.
  • Wedge, my albino penguin, reminds me of Toni, as Wedge was a gift from her. Yes, Wedge is named after the Star Wars character of the same name.
  • Samu, the little stuffed orca, always reminds me of my brother. I'm not sure why. Maybe that's because Samu is smaller than a lot of the other animals and right now, my brother is smaller than everyone else in the family. I doubt that'll last for much longer, though!
  • My pink sheet (the original one I received!) and a stuffed giant microbe remind me of my chemistry teacher from high school.
  • I have a yellow scarf that reminds me of one of my friends. She has a scarf that uses the same yellow yarn and both were gifts from different people.
  • My notebook reminds me of a friend from high school. She was the one who actually gave me the notebook, but there's a long story there that I don't want to go into right now.
  • The beaker I have in my room reminds me of my roommate. And of one of my other friends from school. He's also a science major. We always spend a lot of time in the lab and are in the science center until unearthly hours at night.
  • The bag that I carry around with me all the time reminds me of one of my other friends, except that we don't actually talk very much anymore. When she invited a bunch of people to Thanksgiving dinner, I was crocheting the strap and finishing it up after dinner that night.
  • This isn't exactly in my room, but The Count of Monte Cristo reminds me of one of my other really close friends. It was the first movie we saw together. And one of the objects I fiddle with reminds me of him too.
  • I'm not going to go into details, but quite a few objects remind me of my mom. <3
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it was just a few of the things I was thinking about last night as I was falling asleep. I didn't end up going to bed until about 11:30, but I was asleep less than half an hour later and I slept for 5+ hours solid. In other words, it was a good night~
