Dad must be freaking out.
heidi - 07/14/11 00:42
It sucks no matter what. You can do it! It just takes perseverance.

tinypliny - 07/14/11 00:29
Just so you know, it isn't easy when you are not a hoarder either. At one point they even considered making it grammatically wrong to use "moving" and "easy" in a sentence together.

I kept lists
I used to keep notebooks and notebooks of such random stuff like I thought I should record it for the world to remember. things like the videos on mtv or a list of the current football teams.or a integrating story .. its kinda neat but unfortunately I didn't date any of it and mixed multiple years in one journal

One time in Germany (e:terry) and I made a list of every TV show we ever saw.
tinypliny - 07/10/11 22:18
So that waterfalls video is completely not what I thought it was: :::link:::

It gets worse. I don't remember that song either. Oh well.
tinypliny - 07/10/11 21:59
There is actually software for building lists of movies: :::link:::

How odd (or not..)
tinypliny - 07/10/11 21:52
I can't remember the song Waterfalls... But it had a cool video (or not?) Damn. Now I need to hunt it down on youtube.
tinypliny - 07/10/11 21:51
You will find this totally up your hoarding-but-now-unhoarding alley: :::link:::

In fact, that might not be a bad idea for me. I forget what I have seen all the time and the plots gets messed up in my head and sooner or later, I remember movies all wrong and actors names are mixed up and after a while, it comes to a point where movies I might (or might not) have see end up again on my to-see list.

Yeah, that makes no sense. I totally need that site to help me.

You had good handwriting. Do you still write in perfect cursive? HEhehehe @ the MTV video list. I saw ALL those videos when I was in middle school.

tinypliny - 07/10/11 21:54
You didn't get along with (e:Paul)? Why?! Spill!!! SPILL!!!!
tinypliny - 07/10/11 21:54
What on earth is that? A hip-hop-wannabe-kit? Or was the package of the inflatable microphone?

Going Through My HOardingness
So as many of you know cuz I think I posted about it me and (e:libertad) are moving in together at the end of August. So while I"m excited it entails me going through my hundreds of items in my room,basement, attic, boxes,closets,every available space in my parents house. I am going to have a garage sale in August with all the stuff I am going to get rid of.

I started off strong today putting lots of stuff in the garage sale box and/or recycle bag and then I hit a road block when I came across this bank my cousins brought back from Italy. I had saved quarters in it and when it was full like had to cut it open cuz it had no way to open. So really it is useless and cutin half but I couldn't put it in the garbage pile and then I started sliding backwards and not wanting to get rid of anything. I am making progress though and I will work again on it on Friday.

What really kinda is hard about some of it (not the broken bank of course) but is that I have bought lots of stuff for an apartment over the years and I couldn't wait to move out and decorate my apartment with these things but now I think they don't really have place. LIke for just me I love them but they are not really great and prolly we don't have room for things like a large inflatable microphone. But I always pictured it in my apartment one day. it is something I am working on. And something (e:libertad) will have to work on accepting some of my quirky decor. I am excited about the apartment though and can't wait for this next step in my life and relationship. though I will miss being at home too.

You should all check out my garage sale and buy my crap. OH and I forgot I have been taking a picture of everything I am getting rid of so I can still have the memory kinda.
paul - 07/08/11 09:51
Pictures!
tinypliny - 07/08/11 02:00
Oh yeah, adverts and pre-emptive pics are the keys to a successful garage sale.
tinypliny - 07/08/11 01:58
lol, this made me laugh so much. I may not buy your crap but I sure would be extremely interested in gawking and a "story-send-off" where you tell people stories about how you got stuff just as they are being sent off to other people's homes.
paul - 07/07/11 22:28
"Like for just me I love them but they are not really great and prolly we don't have room for things like a large inflatable microphone." I just imagine all of your stuff reading this toy story style and crying.
heidi - 07/07/11 12:30
I done the picture taking thing when getting rid of stuff - it works pretty well for me. Good luck!! I wanna see pix too - maybe the stuff will start floating away before your garage sale! :-)
paul - 07/07/11 09:33
Post pictures!
matthew - 07/07/11 08:30
I'm really excited for this garage sale. I'll buy all your crap!
