Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is one thing I am pretty good about, most of my clothes go with each other. Looking at my wardrobe, you would think I spent a lot of time in resorts or on cruises or something - everything can be put into little mix-and-match sets to cover several days with a few pieces. Somehow it all adds up to way too much clothing, even so.

OTOH, I haven't bought new clothes or even wished I had something I didn't have in rather a while, so maybe this is exactly the right amount of clothes for me.

Because books.

Often I am more less than ruth.

Heh. I love this.

I purged so much stuff before we moved. And right now I can feel the things I didn't wear all winter sitting there, judging, taking up room. I try to purge every time I switch over, and it's been incredibly freeing to do it every time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like the closet in my bedroom is big, but that's just because it's about twice as wide as the basically door-width closet I grew up with. So I have that and a dresser and a small set of shelves with sweaters in it, and that's where my clothes are. And I'm still getting rid of stuff I don't wear!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I haven't been able to do a proper wardobe purge in almost 2 years due to being pregnant and not wearing anything but maternity clothes. In theory, I do the thing where once a year I turn all the hangers in my closet backwards, and only turn them around again once I've worn that piece of clothing so it's easy to see at a glance what I haven't worn in a year and get rid of that. In practice, I wear about 5% of the clothes I own and ignore the rest in hopes that they will go away on their own.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am the unpurger. I have clothes that I've owned for more than 20 years, and as long as they keep fitting, I probably will. But I've been lucky to be close enough to the same size since the end of university. The clothes I have from when I gained weight I can probably get rid of, but part of me is sure I'm going to gain weight again, eventually, and I liked them...which is pretty stupid.

I lost a bunch of clothes in Katrina, and although I could tell you only two or three precise pieces, I miss them terribly. Also, considering the amount of time it's been since I did *all* my laundry, well, I'm overstocked. But I still want it all.

I'm pretty sure I let the tea store rob me. On the other hand, the jasmine dragon pearls smell *really* nice. I am looking forward to this cuppa.

I sorted the spreadsheet for my sister and didn't mention to her it was trivial. Because I'm passivecool like that.

I still look at stuff I haven't worn in years, and think, but I might!

Gimme half an excuse to bust out the leather pants, and I will. It has easily been 15+ years since I last did. That half excuse is elusive.

Why am I looking at pictures of Batman/Superman wondering if they'd really leave on that much of their costumes? Characterisation? ita? Really?

Superman must rip a lot of clothes, huh?

When I do purge, I keep things just because I love them, whether I wear them (or can wear them) or not. But I keep them in a box and not in my closet. And it is just one box, so that's not so bad, right?
