HOARDING

"People who hoard are often, like Vojtko, intelligent, creative, and endlessly curious, according to psychiatrist Randy O. Frost, a leading researcher on hoarding. They don’t easily distinguish between valuables and trash because they see beauty and potential in mundane objects, and because they worry that they might make a mistake by throwing away something they’ll need later. They use objects to help them remember the past."

I associate fannishness with the tendency toward Hoarding.  What do you all think? Do you face hoarding in your lives?  Do you invest tiny objects with life? Can you throw away the fortune from a fortune cookie, or do you wind it into a tiny wad and keep it in a special box?
