Pack-rat-ism
I have boxes full of notebooks full of notes from classes I’ve taken. These are about 75% full-page doodles, 15% blank pages, and 10% actual notes. I’ve never gotten rid of them. With any luck, I will be soon.
I have never (before now) gotten rid of anything electronic. Broken? Goes in the broken electronics box. Old, and too common to ever be a collector’s item? Push it to the side. Old and possibly valuable in the future? Same thing, just try harder not to kick it as I walk by.
Applies to music, too. I never get rid of a cd or mp3, no matter how much I dislike it. Same for video games.
Clothes? You should see some of the clothes I have packed away. Luckily, this isn’t nearly as bad as the other aspects.
But hey, I don’t keep dead bugs. That’s good, right?

oh me too. i got rid of some stuff when i moved last summer, but… yeah. there are boxes of things here that i haven’t even opened. if i haven’t needed them in the past year, chances are i’m not going to need them ever…. but they’re still here.
