A little secret about me :o)

This little gorilla stayed with me for like 8 years now :) it is always sitting on my left bedside, I brought him along with me every place I go! haha I know it is really childish but I can't imagine if somebody throw it away or if I lost it...!! so I decided to write a post about him haha and when you guys find him getting lost on the street, you know it belongs to me :DI got it in a gift shop of a zoo in New Zealand eight years ago, I was 12, it was my first time to travel without my parents and I was there for a summer course, the reason why I chose this gorilla instead of other cute...tigers or rabbits or chipmunks or ducks whatever....is....because......okay don't laugh........I stepped onto a gorilla's poo~~~ outside their cage.........it was remarkable, cuz that was my very first time to step on...those.....and I wondered why would them shit outside the cage...so I suppose they did it while swinging around the trees...! but anyway, there I was standing in the gift shop choosing a souvenir for myself, I chose this gorilla, and it stayed with me for 8 years now haha the reason why it's important to me is that it reminds me of time, reminds me of New Zealand, the first time I live without my parents ( that was a really hard time for me to get over with)Do you guys have any objects that mean something to you or that you kept for ages? :P feel free to share with me~ haha
