Why Junky Drawers?

You’re probably wondering about the blog’s name, aren’t ya? Well, ‘the Junk Drawer’ and ‘Junk Drawer’ and every other iteration of a singular crap compartment was taken, so I had to resort to using Junky Drawers. Now, while the name has different meanings (get your brain out of the gutter!), it essentially is based on that wonderful item we call the junk drawer. Usually in the kitchen, but sometimes in a niche or hallway, this innocuous container of stuff does come in handy at times.

The drawer in question.

I assume that most people have one in their house. We have three. Three drawers filled to the brim with the extra bits of stuff that just doesn’t have a home elsewhere in the house, but might just be important enough to hang on to.

Thus, the reason for the blog. I have, and use, Facebook and Twitter. They’re there for the most important bits of my life, like the kitchen and living room of my house. There are a myriad of other things I do, think, say… that aren’t relegated to those other social sites. So, I’ve decided to create a junk drawer for my life.

Not only do I plan on posting the bits of flotsam that float around, but thoughts and ideas that just don’t seem to fit on those ‘other’ pages. So, dig through the tiny separated compartments and we’ll see if you can’t find something interesting to use.
