So I decided to finally tackle my closet in my compy room, starting last week and still going at it (only cause I can only do it when I have enough free time). I'm going through all these boxes and looking at the shit I have in them. I can't help but scratch my head and wonder why I saved the most stupidest stuff. The majority of it all are papers, pics and fics I had printed out since early '00. Found some of my older GW sketches in with those pics too, just heads, no bodies like always since I can't push myself to draw that far.
After doing this, I have TRULY claimed myself to the title of Pack Rat. I mean what use are these things to me anyways? I was this way when I was still living at home and had music magazines, papers and snotty used tissues under and around my bed. My parents told me that if we ever had a fire, my area of my room would go up in flames first and they had a point. And things never changed either after looking at all those papers I saved in those boxes here.
I've been questioning myself here lately about if I were to die, what would become of my things? I know all my anime stuff would go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wardove and whoever else I feel like telling hubby to give it to (so make sure you have extra space at your place Dove ^_~) Though I'd rather have a mausoleum built and be buried with my stuff *snickers* Or if I'm cremated, burn my stuff with me. Because of these demented thoughts is what slowed me down or pretty much quit buying doujinshis cause why am I wasting my money on something I can't read? And half the time I only look at the books once before they get put aside or in the box with the others. Hence why I'm sticking to using my money for commissioned art instead. You don't have to read that in order to enjoy it.
Funny with the things one can find while cleaning. I came across some papers I saved since high school. One was an essay my ex bf did about me for our 10th grade english class. (I forget what the assignment was about and thank god that it was a turn in paper only and not having to read it to the class). Looking it over, I have to laugh only cause of his thoughts about me and such. I'll have to type that up and post it tomorrow along with a crazy X-mas story we had to make in 8th grade english. I think you'll get a kick out of my storyelegant_torture (that is if I can read my awful handwriting). But hey, I got an A- a 23/25 and get this shit, I got a point deducted cause I had my papers stapled and a point deducted cause I wrote the date 12/14/90 (instead of writing it out)!!! >__< The crazy title was called The Night Before A Christmas Concert *lol*
I also came across my very full box of cassettes which is a good thing cause I've been dying to listen to certain tapes. Heyelegant_torture have you ever heard of a late 80's early '90's hair band called Pretty Boy Floyd? They only had one album out and was called Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz. I love this tape to death and should find it on cd so my tape doesn't sound like ubber shit. I went to find lyrics on some of the songs and found out they are still together and came out with a 2nd album recently. Sad to see how ugly as hell they have become (at least what is left of the original members). Its amazing how all the glam and hair care products could make the uglist guy look hot. soraaoi I know how you like Billy Idol and told you about this one tape I have of his that was retro/techno'ish. Its called Cyberpunk and I loved this tape to death too and it shows. The tape plays like shit and I should look into getting that on cd too if possible. Another good band that was a one hit wonder is School of Fish. Loved the whole tape and wonder how hard it would be to find this on cd. I know my s-i-l's hubby has it on cd so I should try to remember to borrow his the next blue moon I see them.
So with cleaning my closet and having my doors open, the damn cats are so interested in that spot now. I found Sam sleeping in it the other day, Smokey likes to climb on the boxes and just sit there. Now when I leave my compy room, I have to double check to make sure the cats aren't in the room before I close my door.
As for Tenjou Tenge raw #16, I'll put it behind a cut just in case.
I just realized something else that they changed from the manga to anime. Anime has Maya telling the past about Shin BUT in the manga, its Bunshichi thats telling Chiaki the story when he brought a beaten Bob and Nagi back to Bob's appt. In #16, its back to the present, Maya's expolsion from school, and it ends where Bob and Nagi are fighting their way to the Enforcement Group's office. I can't wait for #17, that is IF they are going to show Buns and Isuzu beat the crap out of Bob and Nagi to knock some sense into their heads. But I think also if they do show the fight, I see that they are also getting into when Aya took the evil sword. So I wonder what kind of screwy mess they are going to make for the anime if Buns beats Bob and Nagi? If he does take them back to Bob's place, are they just going to show him leave afterwards or what? And damn it! They didn't show any previews for #17 either. So yeah, I can't wait for the sub to come out especially when Masataka's dad picks on him about if he has a girlfriend cause of the stains he found in his underwear *snickers* That poor kid never gets a break. At least the girls are noticing him more now at school *lol* They also finally showed more of Nagi's mom
I wonder how much of Gundam Seed they are going to edit next week since it has Psycho bitch and Kira bed moment. And I truly hope that this series picks up, I find it to be very boring. I'd rather put up with the political mumbo jumbo than whatever it is that is going on right now in Seed. I don't think I'll be a fan of this series.
And before I forget, tonight they showed the movie American History X on the WB tonight (though I'm sure alot was edited) and I finally got to see the whole thing. Wow! Just wow. I wasn't expecting that ending, though with the way things were going at the end, something like that was bound to happen. I'll admit that I sat here and cried.
Alright, this isn't getting my work done and can't concentrate on the tv if I'm on here.

Me Too!
I am exactly the same way. I'm a major packrat. I keep everything. Last night I was cleaning my computer room, going through some boxes and I found a ton of old school folders and notebooks from as early as junior high. All with the assignments and other people's work I copied from still in there. lol. Never know when you're going to need geometry notes. ^^
I also went through my closet and found my broke PS2, Burger King toys and some shiny wrapping paper from a Christmas present two years ago.
And you know what? I didn't throw any of it away.
It's weird we were doing the same thing at around the same time. lol

Re: Me Too!
PLUS I still have a good bit of stuff still back home at mom's house, mainly my toys that I will never part with either. Half of those toys though, my nephews are playing with, stuff that I REALLY didn't want ppl to play with them or stuff that really aren't toys to play with period. I'm afraid that mom will lose them knowing how my nephews are with their toys.
I'm the same way with wrapping paper too. We use to have Garfield x-mas paper and I would carefully tear it off the gift and keep it. I did use the paper for certain things I created that I cut the characters out from, that was about it.
I never saw my closet look so...so...empty for a change. There will at least be one side of the closet that will have floor space showing. Good thing that I have two shelves in there too that I can place boxes on.
Another thing both hubby and I have ALOT put together are pics. He has his pics from his early days in the Army from all over, and I got my pics from home and my Army days. Thank goodness for digital cameras now, less photos laying around in boxes.

I remember Pretty Boy Floyd, though I don't have their cassette...has it been converted/remastered to CD yet? I was digging through my closet (and I'm a horrible pack-rat as well!) and I found all my old Motley Crue and Judas Priest tapes from elementary and junior high! Wooooo. Good thing my stereo has a cassette-playing device on it.
I agree that a lot of these dudes instantly sexified themselves with hairspray, leather and spandex. Eeee-ugh, without it, most of them are ass-faces ( except for Nikki Sixx, I still think he's damn fine, lol). Look at Taime Downe ( former Faster Pussycat, now in the Newlydeads)...I think that age will do it too. He tries to wear "goth" make-up but still looks like a rotten, stale corpse.
What's this story all about? lol. I remember writing a story about suicide ( one of the topics to choose from) in Grade 10, which made the teacher cry ( which is a good feat...she was a harsh witchy hag, witchy in a non-cool way). I got 100%. Killllllah!
I still have all my book reports/character profiles on serial killers that i did in school. And the teachers enjoyed them!
That's so stupid how you got nailed for writing the dat e"incorrectly" Technically, you got a perfect score ^_~
Bring on the story!

I stole my older sis's JP Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith tapes (two of my most fav. albums they did). They are so old and worn, I need to get these on cds as well.
I just wish that I had a damn record player, I have tons of records I'd love to hear again, especially the old 60's, 70's and early 80's stuff that my mom has. Tis a shame that record players are STILL expensive!
*sniffles* That is a shame about Taime, I thought he was kinda cute during his FP days. I saw them ONCE in concert when they opened up for KISS (forget what yr, I just know it was the 2nd or 3rd time I saw KISS during the Hot in the shade tour or was it Revenge, me forget). FP was really good but didn't play long cause Taime had bronchitis but I did get to see him walking about in the middle part of the arena not too close to where we were sitting at (its where the sound board was).
My story, involves........Nikki Sixx, no kidding. Or should I say...St.Nikki Sixx *giggles* I finished typing up the story, I should get around to posting it this weekend or beginning of the week.
Speaking of school reports, in 8th grade, I also had to do a report on a pres. that we could pick which I chose JFK. We had to read our reports to the class and I was so embarrassed when I said about the Peace Corps and I called it Corpse. I didn't know any better. After I was done, my teacher would ask us questions and he couldn't stop laughing when he asked me about the difference between Corps and Corpse. He was one of the few best teachers I ever had in school, I was lucky enough to have him again in 9th grade for history class and cause of his teachings is what made me really enjoy history alot and I did so well in his class too. Near the end of the school yr and had ppl sign yr.books and such, I had some of the small rock pics I had in my locker decorating my yr book cause I was cleaning my locker out. When he saw the pics on my book when I got him to sign mine, he was like "This is missing something." and put a small pic of himself on my cover too. (one of those school small proof pics that teachers take)
My english teacher who gave me those stupid deductions on my paper was always a weird lady. She said that it was good and all that I was into reading big thick books (at the time it was S.King's IT) but that I should focus more on my school work. She was so boring, it was hard to pay attention. And GOD! Her hubby was the same way, I had him for my 10th grade history class and nearly failed miserably cause he didn't teach very well. Sad too cause we were learning about the Roman era and such. Course my ex bf was in my class so he was a distraction to me especially since he didn't sit too far behind me.
