I am such a pack rat.

[chaotic_nipple]

I've spent several hours packing my stuff, and in so doing, boxing it up such that, in the event of my death, the right people get the right stuff. For example, I wouldn't want my mom to get any "Mature readers only" comic books. In the course of this endeavor, I realized how much of my stuff, all of which seemed like the coolest things in the universe when I first aquired them, is really complete junk. When I get back from Iraq, I SWEAR I will sort through it and get rid of/give away at least a third of it. Of course, I said that last time too.

Send all Barbies to Iraq- we can totally destroy their way of life with her portrayal veiw of women- you have to wear tight clothes and have the perfect body, a sports car, camper, etc to be happy. And the consumerism that goes along with her. If Barbie is sooo popular, why do we have to buy her friends?

Because she's nothing without the approval of others, the way a good woman should be. :-P

It would be nice to be Barbie- she has everything and never has to buy it for herself.
