Just call me Packrattus Electronicus
I can't believe I'm scanning magazines so that I can throw them away.

Anyone else a hopeless pack rat?

1. Uh, oh
I dated someone like that. I found that the pat rack trait came through in ways other than just keeping stuff. He was very stuck in the past mentally and emotionally. He couldn't let go of things.
Just reading this gave me the willies.

2. Yeah, I'm that "horrible example" that some people serve as when
they can't do anything else :)

3. Not me. I LIKE to get rid of stuff.
I get so sick of clutter I just have to start donating, recycling or throwing things away.

It's to the point that, even though I love to shop, I don't buy stuff because I can see getting rid of it.

4. Actually, I have very little in the way of junk. But when I was younger,
I used to hitchhike and otherwise travel all the time, so I was always having to leave my books. Now I have a problem where it's almost impossible for me to leave books and (certain) magazines.
