Magic Cards

[lynxreign]

Should I sell mine? All of them or just some? I do have that Phil Foglio land game around somewhere that requires Magic Land cards and I probably couldn't sell those anyway.

I've been keeping them on the theory that we may all want to play again some day and that I wouldn't get much for them anyway.

Yep, I made it all the way to acceptance and then was able to let go of things. I sold off my water damaged D&D stuff in the late 90's, finally let go of Diablo and Diablo II when I donated them to a thrift shop, and have donated tons of books to the library over the years. I have gone through several "life cleanings" over the years and really do not own a whole lot of "stuff" these days.

Good for you. Now you just need to get down to a spartan level and you can start the hair shirt part of the therapy.

What helped was having stuff in boxes because our apartment was too small, and then realizing that I really didn't miss the things. I do occasionally hold onto things past when I should, but now I am more likely to eventually get rid of them.

I definitely enjoy having space for the stuff I do own. There are times I think about getting rid of a lot of the stuff we own and having more space, like in Brazil, but I don't think I can convince Amy to go that Spartan.

I'm in the middle of going through things I have and getting rid of stuff that is junk (which I've been doing for awhile) and things I just don't want any more (which is new). There's no need to be pushy about it, especially as I know few ways that work better to get me to not do things.

"There's no need to be pushy about it, especially as I know few ways that work better to get me to not do things."

I am stopping myself from even contemplating how to exploit this trait of yours. :)

I actually know what you mean. Dumping things you have had for years is a slow process and one that has to be done when you are ready to do it.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

And I don't believe for a minute that there isn't some part of your brain working on exploiting it : -P

[chaoticmoth.livejournal.com]

It may very well be a subconcious process. :)

actually this is something I have been dealing very badly with. I seem to accumulate junk all the time, and it's just that there's a lot of it, and it's not very easy to remember where you got what stored? This is coming up right now, since I've been receiving shit I left behind in Japan, and my parents are packing up.
what are the reasons you tend to keep junk?

Hmm. I could be wrong but I don't actually feel that Lynx has a lot of junk. He has a lot of stuff but I don't consider it junk. *shurg* If I had money to buy stuff or lives somewhere where a softcover novel was $8 instead of the $45 it is in Trinidad, I would have a lot more stuff than I do now.

I do plan on buying every single Star trek novel ever published. Hee.

ah sweetie, I'm being all negative again ;) right now everything I own seems like junk, though I would defend it to the last drop of blood ;)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Memories, mostly. Plus I collect things.
Girlfriend memorabelia is the worst. That's why I have a bustier/corset thing in my closet. That was Tonya's. I need to get rid of those, really.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah you do. Might send the wrong impression to anyone who happens to see it, including future girlfriends.

[sutelae.livejournal.com]

"...honey? Is there something you haven't been telling me? Are you missing something in our lovelife? Is it my fault? Did I Drive You to Crossdressing???"

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Well, that or the, "why is another woman's clothing in your closet?" thing. "From years ago, suuuure."

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. I understand. It will go soon. Not that there's any girlfriend in my future, but it might as well go.

[sutelae.livejournal.com]

you never know! is what people always tell me ;)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people are fond of saying that. They're full of crap.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Like that could possibly fit me.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Big guy like that, thinks he could wear your clothes, and you scored higher than me, Mitch?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I do not get the reference.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Real Genius. Best Val Kilmer 80's movie ever.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Quite true. When I get to cleaning the bedroom, it'll all go. Not even to the garage sale or charity, right in the trash.

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

And you never showed me! Sadness. Hee.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Why would you want to see it? Does this mean I have to dispose of your robe?

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

Why would you dispose of my robe? I'm not saying you should get rid of the corset, just that I would have liked to see it because well, corsets are pretty! Hee. And nope! Keep my robe! When I visit you in the Spring next year I expect to wear it!
