I'll probably make a full post about it later, but I did want to make sure I brought this up, because it’s my only “collection” story:

I didn't take many pictures because endless green fields just don't excite me, but during a gas stop in Kansas I found these neat little things. They're called "furry bones" and they really remind me of skelanimals.

Anyway, I was super enamored with that big pink one (naturally). It's just so kitschy: it's a pink octopus with a skeleton face, holding a cookie.

I just absolutely adored it, but it's also a friggin cookie jar. In other words, another useless item that's just gonna take up space. And it was too big and expensive ($25) to let myself buy it, knowing all that.

So I flipped a coin.

Coin said "no".

But I did tell myself that if I happened to find one for cheap on eBay when I got back, that I would go ahead and get it, because I love the hell out of it, but my personal rule is to never spend more than $20 on any "useless" item (unless it's rare).
