The ones I collect are given to friends or, more likely, they find a home in an empty martini glass in my bathroom, for decoration. My grandma brought me some lovely shells from the Virgin Islands when she was visiting my uncle. I still keep them in an old Tupperware container and think of her every time I see them. So I guess they're the cheapskate's answer to chintzy souvenirs. :-) I am one of those who cannot leave behind a beautiful shell.

The shells will be turned into nice lamp ornaments, or surprising gifts for loved ones, or put into boxes with name tags that sound like a 2000 year old language, or they will be put together with all the other shells and thus become a multicultural, multi-timeal beach in someone's closet, a closet that allows that person to dream of a life that reaches far across everyone else's imagination. It was very nice to meet you and you actually come across like the words that were written down for your presentations to be... that was really nice as well. ah, body surfing, I used to do that a lot as a kid, now I still do it, I just cannot resist the waves as they take me on a whirl across the sand or the rocks beneath the water.
