I would think it was weird if you didn't do that.

Same here. Some of them have like Jem or My Little Pony on them.

Others:

-Concert ticket stubs
-Textbooks
-Some of my notes from college
-Emails/PMs that are especially good and/or kinky

-ticket stubs from movies, plays, concerts, musicals, etc.

-programs from plays and other performances

-plastic bags from various stores

-cards

-notes from middle and high school

-PMs (as many as I can) and e-mails

-magazines (though I'm selective)

-notes from my college classes (not high school because that was just crap), with the exception of math classes--I never want to see any of those notes again

I also make futile attempts to save money.

Anyone else?

besides those ya listed I save cd sleeves/slim cases/etc...Pretty much have to with my music collection growing exponentially (Will again tomorrow by at least 1 disc the new Dream Theater "Octavarium" disc!!!)

And I save little stickers that are usually on the front of cd packaging that state what the singles are/etc...

I really don't think it's that weird, some people are just puritanical about alcohol. Mmm, beer... I guess you should consider the source too since I like beer. I wouldn't be likely to take a beer to the laundry room though. Well, if I had one. Laundry room, that is, I do have beer. But I hardly ever drink at home cuz I just don't need another bad habit.

It's hot and sticky and nasty in the laundry room, and I knew I'd have to wait a few minutes, and I'd just opened a bottle. I wasn't going to leave it upstairs to go flat or warm while I was down.

A couple of the stares were in the elevator. I guess it does look a little weird. They should be used to me, though. The other day I was out with my guy drinking at the playground in the middle of the night, and forgot to stub my cigarette out and had it in the lobby and elevator with me, while holding my brown bag and giggling.

Yeah. I'm a drunk.

I used to do this, too .. but a few months ago, I got rid of them all. I've never need them once in the 10 years I've been out of college. Get rid of 'em!!

ABFAB! i'm watching Cold Turkey from Series 5 right this very moment... how very spooky...

Magazines! I can't throw them out- I may need them for something someday!

Old Video tapes of soap operas. This is my really bad habit. Half of my closet is filled with VHS tapes of Days of our Lives and Passions episodes. These I will not throw out because they never air repeats of soap operas and once in a blue moon I will get the urge to watch some old episodes. So, I have pretty much archived every single episode, Monday thru Friday, 52 weeks a year, for five years! It is a sickness!!!

[catinthedark]

- concert ticket stubs - every one since my very first Cyndi Lauper concert at age 15

- all my college and university papers and text books

- all my stuffed animals since I was a kid. They're packed away, but I could never throw them away

- every card or note I've ever gotten from any of the guys I've ever really cared about

- far too many emails

- boxes that major electronics, my computer, and other big ticket stuff came in - for when I move or have to return them! This is an annoying habit. Takes up too much space

- all my old cassette tapes - as if I'll ever listen to them again...

Hey... look at that! I'm an Addicted Ledgie! When did that happen?

And yet you claim to be heterosexual.
