Night of the 38th Day - 503 Hours Remain

I think I was a magpie in a former life (Not that I believe in reincarnation, but I want to believe..) or a hamster or whatever animal that collects junk.

Yeah, I get easily attached so I have it hard to let things go. And not only things. Having a hard time letting something go is normal, but when you have a hard time letting junk go..

In most cases I'm over 90 per cent sure I'll never need the item in question, but I still want to save it. Why?
Because I'm afraid to do something I'll regret? (Although I agree with the aphorism "Better to regret the things you've done, than the ones you didn't do"..But I'm a coward)

I do throw things away, otherwise I'd have drown in things already. And I know there's people in the world that has a much worse hamstering-problem than I do. (Wait, it's probably not hamstering in English, *look it up*, it's hoarding according to Google Translate). But it still annoys me, at the same time as it amuses me..

Having cosplay as a hobby has made me more hamster than before. For example, I'm saving extenders from my old bras. I feel like there's 2 people debating in my head:
1: We already have a corset for crossplaying..
2: But what if it brokes..
1: Then we buy a new one..
2: But that costs money, I saw hints from internet how you can sew one..
1: So you really think Erika is going to sew a new one! Hahaha!
2: *ignores*

Cleaned my room today and found a box, that I surprise surprise saved from being thrown away, that suits perfect for the junk I'm saving. So now I have almost everything in one place. Except for the clothes, most of them are outside in the small red house. 1/2 of the house is dedicated to junk, old stuff like toys and books, furniture and other things that doesn't fit inside. Yeah, I'm not the only collector/ hamster in this family..

I've saved some really good things from being thrown away. Like the classic Nokia 3310 phone, my cool red cd-player, some cool clothes, a beautiful, non-working video camera..
Maybe I'm one of those "It's better to save 1000 useless things than throw 1 useful thing away".

Hmm.."It's better to kiss 1000 frogs than miss the 1 prince". Nah, I don't think so..
What if I'm so busy kissing the frogs that I don't see my prince. Or what if I'm so busy waiting for a prince in shining armor that I don't notice the disguised prince right before my eyes..

Gaah, love is complicated. but then again, it wouldn't be fun if it was too easy, like this chocolate strike for example..But it shouldn't be too hard either, like the 8th remix level on Picopict or the final boss in Final Fantasy X or the giant spider-thingy in Fahrenheit (Whoever came upp with the idea that speedraping buttons is a good battle should be sentenced to death, and forgiven if he/she beats the final race with Canary Mary, bwahaha..)

Oh, according to a survey collectors usually live longer than noncollectors, so I'll keep collecting junk and non-junk, and being a great fan of Sunrise Avenue. Because being a huge fan of something also prolongs your time on earth, accordning to the same survey...

This was sure a long one, congratulations for reading everything! Or shame on you for skipping some lines..
