09.20.02: wires.

I collect... I collect wires. Wires and wire related things. I have so many of them. A large box in my closet that I've been sorting through, throwing away much fewer than I really should be throwing away, but I just can't. There's another box in storage, too. I've an idea for a sculpture that'd use a good bit of em, but first I'd need to learn to weld. Which I have, before. Learned to weld, that is. But I've forgotten it all.

I also have a higher than average fear of death(or pain) by electrical shock, something that all these wires, if connected [im]properly, have the ability to do. I shock myself on doorknobs and stair rails a higher than average percent of time I come in contact with them, too. I believe that is related to my magical ability to turn off streetlamps with my mind, though.

I'd like to know, what do you collect?

Comments

I collect urls.

and I also have a box of wires and computer junk I keep in a box under my desk. I pulled out a computer mouse just yesterday to give to my mom.. because she spilled paint all over hers.

[sigh]

at what point is it okay to say your mother is getting old?

Tisk tisk Tisk....You collect Al stuff? I am that much more disappointed that you left town without taking Al with you. But now he's mine and he protects our garage from intruders, but most the times just scares the shit out of me when i open the garage.

I just helped Chris move and he had a box(that had been sitting in a storage unit for god knows how long)that was full of ice trays. Not just 2 or 3, I'd say 10. Thats a packrat.

You can never have too many ice trays.

Books.

And anxiety.

Unfortunately, I still collect domains. Every once in a while one will be very useful, but I just can't bear to see them go.

I let go of aintno.com recently. I don't know-er, I ain't know what I was thinking.

Every geek collects wires, I think. I spent $50 the other weekend buying ties, clear plastic tubs, and labels for all my wires. I suggest you do the same.

dead leafs if the are perfectly dried and colors are still in tact (but only for a tree im recreating)
rocks (so i can carve into them with my dremel)
picture frames without pictures...ironically i buy tons of photoframes i even paint them and hang them up with every intention to place the million fo photos i have but i can never follow through and finalze anything as if im afraid to make a permenant memory ---all off this is horse crap can one realy pyscoanalyze ones self to a degree yes but you will never be objective plus bieng in my 20's its impossible to know who you really are so defining the change is a lie. cant i ever awnser in simple normal words. i frustrate without this luxury. youth.
