Friday 5: I'm not a packrat -- I'm just sentimental
Coming in a little late, but this past Friday's question came from Rob:
What five items do you still posess that you should have dumped long ago and why do you have them?
- The last remaining key to my first car (a 1972 Chevy Impala hardtop) is still on my keyring. It comes in handy as a cutting edge for tearing through tape on boxes, but the real reason is that I just can bring myself to remove it from the ring.
- I still have two or three older film cameras. I'm pretty solidly switched over to digital now, but I still have these. Partly it's laziness (that I haven't EBay'd them), but it's also an irritation that I spent a decent chunk on one of them but didn't get around to using in much in the years between its purchase and my switch to digital.
- I really am going to fit into those pants again someday. Really.
- I still have stack of sales brochures for the playscape line I have in my backyard. I can only blame this one on laziness of cleaning up my office. There, problem solved. Do I have to remove it from my list now?
- I have three photos of art pieces that were given to me by an artist named Jamie. I now actually have those pieces in full-size, framed and hanging on my walls. He game me the photos when I placed the order for those pieces, and I just hung onto them. I guess the reason is that this was one of Jamie's last appearances, and he knew it. He was getting out of the whole fan-art scene and was depleting his inventory to make a clean break. I suppose I'm just hanging onto them as one last interaction I had with him before he disappeared.
Ok... maybe I am a packrat.
