it occurs to me that i missed the friday five, and i know you hate it when i do that......

1. What is your most prized material possession?
i have my parent's wedding pictures, they were divorced when i was 6. they are irreplaceable. i also have a collection of playbills that my grandparents collected during their theatre-going days, including some pages from playbills that my grandmother's mother collected and framed. some of them date to the 1890's.

2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
i wasn't really sure at first, but i looked around and saw that i have a stuffed koala that's covered in koala fur, that i've had literally as long as i can remember, meaning i can remember having it when my parents were still together.

3. Are you a packrat?
incurably so.

4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
i would like to keep my house cleaner than i do, i'd like to have a place for everything and everything in it's place, but that never seems to work out for me... i suppose i would probably get nervous if my house was spic and span....

5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
i have an expertly arranged, aesthetically impeccable, visually inspiring and exasperatingly enviable collection of random knick-knacks that are all special for some reason or another.
