Oh another thread I totally apply to! I have issues throwing anything sentimental away. I have a pair of socks in my "Memory Box" from when I stepped in a puddle of wax during one of the best nights ever. That was... 11 years ago. Gross. True. I have a slip of paper that my very first boss wrote my very first work shifts on. I also don't throw away books or DVD's, I'll give them away or sell them, but NEVER throw them away!! Hmm let's see what else I have that is crap that I should have thrown away. I have a home-made beanie baby my best friend made me when we were like.. 10. It's supposed to be a turtle, she made it out of an old dish towel, filled him with rice, he's leaked ever since. But I can't throw it away. Nor can I throw away the dice to some Mickey Mouse game that I stole from her house, pointlessly. And a wish-bracelet my sister broke before I ever got a chance to make a wish on it, Ohhhh was I mad.
I keep a lot of shit. If it's got a memory attatched to it, I've kept it. I have a torn piece of garbage bag from when I tried to drag a HUGE black garbage bag full of magazines to my neighbors. Didn't work. But I sure tried.
