My strange addiction

[Ava]

Does anyone else have these? 

I probably have several, or I'm in the process of developing several.

Here's one, though:

I'm obsessed with clipboards. I have A LOT of clipboards. 

'Didn't really form the thought "this is getting weird" until I tucked my Post-It notes into their mini clipboard yesterday and realized just how satisfying it was. 

I have clipboards for every standard size and shape of paper, separate clipboards for small index cards (for my coat pocket) and large index cards (in my purse). 

I have an extra large clipboard for larger paper....a "graph paper" one for straight writing, though that leads into my other obsessions about paper (basically, it must be rigid) and pens (strongly prefer black ink art pens).

Astrologically I think this is the mischief of my luminaries playing into my nodal axis:

8H Pisces moon trine Scorpio NN knows, everything dies, ends, deteriorates
6H Cap sun trine 10H Taurus SN says: that's no excuse to use cheap paper or let it get wrinkled

So that's just one way I am crazy.

Deleted my previous post coz I kinda missed the point.. Long story short, my 'collections' are just random little things that have memories. As for strange addictions...hmm, not sure what counts. Well, I figure, as long as it's not damaging any organs, it's fiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Do you have any non-private post-its? I wanna see em on the clipboard. Love those. Used to buy a lot of multi-coloured post-its.

Neptune is too prominent in my chart for me to NOT have weird addictions.

So sad you deleted it.

I saw it last night but was too exhausted to think & reply. 

"I haz no chill."

I need shopping threads, it's retail therapy carried over to my writing life.

Ah yeah, I guess it is a Neptune thing! 

Not really knowing why we want something, feel we need it, want to stock up.

Though I also think Neptune sets me free of this, it's adaptable. Part of me clings to stuff and the other part doesn't really care.

Yeah, that's another thing - while I am sentimentally attached to things, it's not because they're *things*. I've had to start over from scratch many times, with little to no belongings - and there's a certain liberation in that.

For instance, I don't even have a bed, haven't had one for several years, and I don't miss it. Don't particularly care about having things per se. I've frequently led a very spartan existence - de-cluttering has its benefits. On the other hand, I am not ashamed of *wanting* what I want when I want it. It's soothing to indulge yourself, and I don't believe in denying myself things to begin with.

It's just the memories that weigh on my heart. Sometimes, random trinkets or ticket stubs or whatever, are all you have left of somebody... Also, some things have been with me through many 'phases' in life, so they're important.

Lol.
Kids, never mix drinks and shopping! I once blew 25k on a random Tuesday because I got a little tipsy. Not doing that again. My kids need their college tuition.
