I was going to make a kissy joke in response to this, then realized that no matter how I played it it would come off a the creepiest case of chicken pox ever, so nevermind.
Creepy guy one time told my coworker that while she was giving him some tech support.
Also watched the hoarders ep with the rat man, jesus thats a lot of fucking rats.
It's cold, I'm wearing pants anyway.
Actually, I usually prefer to wear pants.
jesus boy
what'd you eat?!
I had a 4 day weekend last weekend and over the course of 2 nights, I started a fire in the fireplace and my wife and I systematically burned it all.
It was glorious.
I won't lie. While nothing I burned was anything emotional on its own, it represented so much shit, it was like excising a lesion, slicing open a boil.
I got a little teary.
Fuck junk. FUCK IT.
When I started as tech support here, the first week on the job I was on the phone with this guy who told me he needed a moment. I was a little surprised but he set the phone down. He comes back a few minutes later and told me he had to adjust his ice pack. I'm getting ready to go on when he informs me he had a vasectomy the other day. I really wanted to tell him that perhaps he was over sharing.
It's that my ex left all of her shit with me when she left, before she broke up with me. And, before she broke up with me, I'd been taking care of it for months, storing it in my car for her.
Now that I've started to get rid it, it's clearing out space in my mom's house. And it fees like there's more space in my life now, even though I've got no freedom to move around in it.
Besides which, hanging onto your ex's stuff just because you don't have the strength to look at it while you throw it away... that's not healthy. So getting rid of it is definitely a good thing.

if it didnt want you to pee on it it wouldnt be in there
I hoard things on my WoW server too
FIRE
jesus Lud

BY FIRE BE PURGED

boo hoo the world epic I'm never going to use
So fucking liberating. It would make the staunchest Atheist have a religious moment, if only for a second.
FUCK YOU RAGNAROS
Maybe, just maybe, that's how it makes you feel and it would make me reconsider killing myself?
Thankfully you burnt all your knives, rope and painkillers.
The train tracks are right over there
I'm sorry, but if both my plane's engines are on fire, I'm not even bothering with any ideas to fix whatever problem there is. I'm too busy screaming, whipping out my cell phone and telling my loved ones goodbye before I explode in a gigantic fireball in a corn field.
What you defined isn't junk.
YOU aren't healthy
Well no we don't want any Elldren suicides.
That would be mega-depressing.
I am actually inclined by nature to be a pack rat, but I live in a small studio apt. so the option is mostly closed to me now. I do feel better when I make myself get rid of stuff, though.
I lost almost every single thing I'd owned since I was twelve years old. It could've filled a two-bedroom apartment and still been worth having, while leaving room for a little new furniture. I resent losing all of that.
But I'm free of it, too.

If it isn't useful legally, financially, practically (don't really know how to define furniture and other accoutrement that you would use day to day) or sentimentally what use is it? I mean that literally covers every need at all to hang onto something other than "just because."
I am trying to remember the name of a science fiction short story in which a super computer is asked how to avoid the heat death of the universe. I thinks about it until all life in the universe is gone, with the final answer being 'let there be light.'
Damnit, what's its name and who wrote it?
You are a strong person to keep going on.
The Last Question, by Isaac Asimov
many thanks
Man. I was totally ready to be useful for once.
I think Elldren's feeling a little persecuted right now.
*hugs ells*
we still like you elldren, and do not want you to reconsider killing yourself
I'm sorry elldren were putting you in the home...
I'm also a touch paranoid today
of course not. Well, not until your house is condemned because of the hoarding
