CLEPTOMANIAC!

In which I discuss how I've managed to fill my life with random broken things and old sentimental junk. I do not discuss the fact that I will change my ways, because I'm practically guaranteed not to.

I keep pretty much everything. I was going through my room this past summer and I found a notebook from my first year of high school... I'm a third year at college now

[jerryhcooke]

@cassluvsmusic I've still got graphics work in my portfolio from my penultimate year of high school; I'm 25 now :P

Gahh you hoarder! I've got some stuff from back in the day for nostalgia. You need to round it up and if you ever say "i forgot i had this" then you won't miss it when it's gone! :P

[jerryhcooke]

@CheekTV wise words my friend; my problem is that I have too good a memory, I pick anything up and I'm like "ooh, I remember that" :P I DO need a purge though!

If you walk into my room in Torquay (which I moved out of 3 years ago) you would think I still lived there. Everytime I go home I try and sort out some more things or get rid of more things or get things to take to Bristol but really i'm totally hopeless. I am secretly scared in 10 years time I'm going to end up on an episode of 'Hoarders'

I'm terrible at throwing things away. I still have my cinema ticket stubs for all of the Harry Potter films, bearing in mind I was 10 when the first come came out. In fact I've kept most of the stubs for all the films I've ever seen. You wouldn't believe how cheap the cinema was back then!

ive kept letters that were sent to me from when i was 10 - im 26 now!

[rachpaperscissors]

This is me. I keep trying to throw it out but I just can't!!!!

[rachelemaynard]

It would bring me SO MUCH JOY to clear out things like that! I am the opposite of a cleptomaniac - if you don't use it, lose it!

um, what world do you live in? Micro SD to SD is still useful. a fair amount of computers (laptops) have SD card readers built in but no micro sd card reader. yes there are usb versions of this but maybe you only have a few usb ports and you want to keep the freed up thus the card reader is open <3

I have a box in which I kept all of the crap I didn't want to throw away because it ment something to me. Most of the stuff has ended up on my wall but inside It still are all the cards I got when I graduated high school six years ago, letters and cards that were sent to me when I was a camp counselor four years ago, a playbill from the musical I was in my senior year and the crossage my prom date gave me.

I just had this conversation with a friend. I have a lot of stuff. I think I'm afraid of forgetting the memories behind them if I throw out the physical item. However, seeing that I moved across the country I've found that I've consolidated a lot of my belongings. I'm almost happy with the amount of things I have.

That's why I rip off the tab at the end of film when I expose it cause I'm constantly finding film around my house hehe!
