Friday Five, All about clutter

1. What is your most prized material possession?
Hm. The antiques from my grandmother's house, which all happen to be in my attic, in an antique suitcase. Then, family photos from before I was born. My computers come in a close third.

2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
Thinking... There are things that I own that are not in my possession, like the stuffed animals from when I was a baby. Teddy Squash-You-All-Flat, and Homer, the floppy-eared dog. I still love Homer. He's the size of one of those longer roll-pillows, and I used to fall asleep hugging him. Now, I have a bigger, different kind of Homer, but he snores a lot. Aside from these, I still have my alto saxophone, which I've had for 18 years. I cant think of anything I've had longer, but if I do, I'll post it here.

3. Are you a packrat?
Recovering, yes.

4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
God, I would LOVE to have a clean house with everything in its place. But, alas, every time I get it to that point, someone else doesnt follow the unwritten rules of putting stuff back. This includes me, and definitely includes being lazy. This is why I'm often seen running around like a madman before a parental or neighborly visit.

5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
No themes, but not many knick-knacks, really. Knick-knack central is definitely the office, with all sorts of toys. The rest use them sparingly, which I like.
