Aww! Wow, though. Rooms full? Well, I'm happy for the many good memories. Now, *hunts around* where is his first tube of lube from when he and Heero got together? *grins*

Also, I'm trying to decide on tagging posts that have recs in the comments. comment rec? Just using the rec tag? Any thoughts? Thanks! Oh, and I chose 'found' and 'awol' for the search posts. ^_^

[merith]

i think using the rec tag should work. otherwise, the tag selection will get ungainly.

and i love 'awol' as a tag!

oh, and thank you. :) and, i just had the idea that duo could be a pack rat if given a chance... and it doesn't have to be limited to just the other pilots.

[mechante_fille]

^_^ I tried to think of something clever for 'found' but 'reporting for duty' was, well, ungainly. If you ever want to change it though, it wouldn't be that hard.

[merith]

how about... 'mission complete' ;)

[misanagi]

I really liked this! Duo is so sentimental and the guys are all so close. I loved it.

[merith]

thanks mis. :) yeah, i can so see him indulging in collecting bits and pieces of his life if he's settled and can.

Being married to a pack rat, I have to side with the other guys in this one. Collections are best when they're kept a bit more manageable. ^____^

[merith]

yeah, i know... and most of us manage that just fine, but sometimes, sentimental emotions get in the way.

thanks for reading! :)

*head desk* This is sooo not helping, mer.

I am a pack rat, raised in a family where nothing was ever thrown away because it could always be re-purposed. I am trying to get better, but (like Duo) everything holds memories.

Maybe Duo and I could both take the advice of those organizing shows and just take pictures of the stuff we need to remember.

I am going away to consult with him now....

[merith]

yeah, those organizers could probably help. :)

and it seems that there are so many people out there that do the same thing. i'm not quite that bad, not any more. but, i have pack rat tendencies.

Duo suddenly reminds me of my Great Grandmother Nana. Her house was STUFFED with memories and junk. Even a can of preserves and stewed tomatoes from 1944. She kept everything, though this included strawberry baskets and those drink trays from mcdonalds. Very awesome I loves it.

[merith]

oh! i hope no one tried to eat those canned items. bleh... but yeah, i had a grandma like that. saved everything.
