I am attached to most of them, but many for stupid reasons. I bet I can easily toss half. Obviously, tossing ALL would be easier in its own way, as long as I didn't look at any of them.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Because books.
I do have some memento type things around, but mostly I try to keep it to things with a purpose -- picture frames or candles or boxes, for instance. My grandmother was tchotchke-mad with little animals and figurines and all kinds of stuff, and it always freaked me out.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Just woke up about an hour ago. Now I have Nova on my lap, being pushy.(In other words, normal)

I'm only two degrees from Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce! She and Gabby Douglas have been my favorite Olympians.

Dear Suz
You take your thyroid meds in the morning because they do not work well with sleep. Taking them last night by accident? Is why you stared at the ceiling all night. You know better.
No love,
Me

I do not have hardly any tchotchkes. I do have a big box from Ikea that I toss ticket stubs and brochures and name tags and stuff into. Every once in a while I go through it and get rid of things that no longer make me go "aww" and put a smile on my face (or alternately make me cry)

Most of my crap is that stuff. I never burn candles! Nothing is in the boxes! But I am keeping all of them, because I love them.

Most of my tchotchkes are worth something on eBay. I could sell the lot for a couple hundred dollars.

Most of my stuff like that is Supernatural stuff. I'm sure everyone is shocked.

At least all the books are on shelves, finally. The nonfiction needs to be organized, but that can come later.
