I can't throw it away!

My mother is a compulsive cleaner who will throw anything away if it is not in use the moment she sees it. As such, most of the toys I had as a child exist in some landfill. Other items I had, like posters and books have disappeared for good too. Aside from my video games (thank god those were never tossed), all of my childhood is gone. My pogs, my TMNT action figures, some transformers, pokemon cards, a whole case of hockey and baseball cards, they're all gone. As such, I find myself unwilling to toss anything that can have value to me, or had it in the past.

Under my bed, I have five or six boxes that I never really touch, but they have books, magazines, papers, knick-knacks, and other things in them. I've been doing my yearly move to a new apartment each year like a typical college student, and those boxes just move along under my bed each time, increasing in size. I even have a small shipping box Infernal Monkey sent me over a year ago that has two Hungry Jack's (Burger King for us non-Australians) toys in it.

When it comes to cleaning, I do a pretty bad job of removing things. Most of it just get crammed into new spaces. Every once in a while, I pull out something old, and I'm glad I saved it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
