Never enough boxes
Jul. 26th, 2007 11:43 amI hate packing.
It's not the act of having to find boxes and try to tessellate random objects I hate most (although I do hate that to be fair), it's the fact that I have to look at every single one of my possessions and go "is this worth the effort of packing, moving, unpacking and finding a home for?". This is why I always leave packing to the last minute - hoping the panic will make these choices easier.
It doesn't.
I've just spent a good half hour staring at my collection of Total Film magazines. I've got an almost complete collection back to 2003 and I can't work out what to do with them. It's unlikely I'm going to read most of them ever, but they do look so pretty on the shelf. I sorted through and pulled out ones covering my favourite movies, but that leaves me with a whole heap that I really should just throw in the recycling.
But.
I don't want to! They're all shiny and glossy. I mean, I don't throw away books just 'cos I'm unlikely to ever read them again and they're not nearly as pretty. But I can't really justify taking them with me, they're horribly heavy and with a lack of shelf space at the new place would probably end up living in a box.
But.
Sod it. I'm going to need more boxes :(
