Personal Excess

[opebo]

my house has been in the family since it was built around 75 years ago, and my grandfather is a clinical hoarder, so suffice it to say we are buried.

That is cool!  My mother and I are moderate hoarders, my father and brother anti-hoarders, so you can imagine the conflicts.

I probably have over 200 pages of old doodles I've hung onto, for whatever reason. I'm kind of attached to them.

Neat!  I like that.  I have a large collection of doodles people have made of me - some of them ordinary caricatures, but for whatever reason, I have many in Gregor Samsa motif.

Books, atlases, maps (mostly road maps), politics textbooks, flags and old papers from high school.

Records, CDs, Ayn Rand books, snapback hats, etc.

Cigarettes

I still have all my old NES cartridges from my childhood. Probably about 40 of them. And about a dozen SNES cartridges. Don't know why. I don't own a working console. Maybe one day I'll donate them to the Smithsonian.

Bow ties, ties, dress clothes in general. Books, I have a lot of them.

What I'm passionate about accumulating is, like Bacon King, rather unsavory. As for more mundane things, I still make and hoard every mixtape I can make.. it's a lost art form. I'm also trying to collect musical instruments, but they're so damned expensive that it's hard to justify.
