I most certainly have a lot of crap. I’m a hoarder. In fact, just today, I found a necklace outside, with a wooden heart on it that said ’‘Angélique’’. I thought it was pretty, so I took it. I kinda feel bad if someone right now is really looking for it though…but it was just there on the ground. I also found a Saw II hard framed movie poster by the street this Summer. It now hangs in my living room. That it’s a horror movie poster has nothing to do with it being horror. (maybe a little)
I have too much stuff. Seriously. Thousands of video game and Goth fashion magazines, books, candles, trinkets, cushions, (Soft! :D) I even keep broken appliances like TV’s and old toasters. My basement is full of stuff like that, as well as furniture that people don’t want anymore, and I offer to take it from them. There is a lot that of stuff I end up giving out to people though. It might pain me to part with it, but really, if I’m not gonna use a kitchen table ever, it’s better being with someone who needs some furniture than with me, who’s prolly not going to be using it. I’ll just stock up later on anyways lol.
Many of my stuff, if not most, I don’t need. However there is a method to my madness, and my place is spic and span and orderly. I hate messy shit, things have to be neatly stored away or put in order. I actually have a lot of fun putting all my crap in order. I can’t give you much of a reason why I do this because I do not know. I just like having a buncha useless crap. It feels like I’m giving them a home lol. I know it sounds crazy, but it feels to me that objects have personalities and souls, and I hate to part with things because it feels like abandoning a kitten that doesn’t have a home lol. Especially if they’re stuffed animals or porcelain dolls. As a kid though, I lived in some pretty badass poverty, and I hear that poor people like to amass stuff because it gives them a sense of importance and worth. Like homeless dudes wearing seven Winter jackets and three hats during Summer heatwaves. Maybe it’s that. I denno.
Don’t offer me anything; whether or not I need it, I’ll take it lol. I’m also shy and can never say no. But for once, that actually works out, because I like the results. I don’t actually buy all that much stuff or jump up on souvenirs though. If I do, it’s because I think I need it at the time. But I’ll keep it even if, after all, it’s pretty much useless lol.
