I’ve moved all my junk back from Waterloo in lieu of me finding a place for the fall, so my room at the moment is quite the mess. Which leads me to wonder why I have all this junk in my room.

If you enumerate the things I use regularly (kind of like the Add/Remove Programs thing in Control Panel), most of the things in my room would be rarely or never. But, like most people, I have some sort of packrat syndrome where I have to keep things around just in case — which by the way, never happens.

One contribution to this problem, was several habits I had for collecting things, CDs (well I have utility for this), DVDs, books, my downloads (hey they don’t take a lot of spac). But in recent years I’ve come to realize the futility of this and have cut down on collecting. I wouldn’t like to imagine my room or wallet if I had continued my card, comics, DVDs, stamps, coins collections.

But still, there’s a lot of junk in my room, and not a lot of places to put it. I don’t really know the solution to this though, I don’t really feel like throwing stuff away, nor do I need to keep it around, nor do I have room for all this stuff. I guess I’ll just do nothing.
