Mementoes

John has allot of things. He likes to collect object. Well, he doesn't collect them per-say, because that would imply that there was a method to it. One of the first things Bobby noticed about John was that he kept everything. At first he thought it was just that John was so unused to having so many things. But then Bobby started to notice how much and what exactly his roommate saved. You could look around their room and on John's half you could see almost everything there was so to see about his life.

It wasn't what you would except from the self-proclaimed badass, but he liked to surround himself with his memories. On his wall, hanging from a tack was a napkin. It was still clean and folded, and it proudly stated the restaurant that it was taken from's name. A mini plastic sword that was used as a toothpick also hung from the tack. Bobby vaguely remembered the restaurant's name from when the professor had taken the students to it soon after John had arrived. He began to notice that John kept a souvenir of everything.

Ticket stubs were a particularly large part of John's wall. Allot of them were from movies, but others were from amusement parks and concerts. One of the most prized stubs was from a concert that they had gone to together. It was probably from a couple months ago that Maroon 5 had come to the area and Bobby had gotten them tickets after John had stolen Bobby's copy of the CD.

The only things in John's life that weren't represented on the walls were his life before the mansion. Those souvenirs covered a different surface. Every scar had a history and Bobby knew most of them. The long scar on John's right arm was a from a 'cat', and the mark on his foot was from when he tripped on a board. John didn't tell him what all of him meant though. And surely Bobby didn't know the meaning behind all of the emotional scars. He hoped that one day he would though.
