I own a ridiculous amount of ________. Fill in the blank!

I would love for the folks on Swell to share something you're really addicted to. Not in the negative sense, but as in I just can't stop buying them kind of sense. Go first. I wish I could save money, but I-I-I-I own a ridiculous amount of have three huge floor to ceiling shelves full of books. And I also have at least half a dozen bags stuff with my old books, the books that I've read multiple times hidden away under my bed

Yes, I'm a hoarder!

I’m a tapehead!

Even to this day, I take blank tapes and I've got my computer hooked up to my TV, and then the TV goes to the stereo and into the tape player. And so I look up stuff online to tape. Like, what did I tape? Like the Tiny Desk series on NPR. There's some great bands on there. So I tape those audio. I tape Austin City Limits from PBS, and then I just tape stuff off the TV

Now I used to buy movies I really, really liked on DVD. Then I started buying movies. I kind of liked because they became so inexpensive. And then Walmart started having the 299 bins 399 bin. And if I semi like the movie, I would just pick it up because it was so cheap. Kind of a gluttonous register. By now I have probably about four or five bookshelves full of DVDs. At this point, I could probably start my own DVD rental store

Clothes 👚👖👗

And I know that a lot of the clothes I've been wearing doesn't even suit how I want to look and how I want to present myself to the world. So going to sell more clothes and buy more soon because it's a never ending process. But that is my obsession. I love clothes if I had to be more specific, I think my favorite article of clothing probably blouses. They're so versatile, they come in so many shapes and sizes

Sneakers. Lol

Well, Leora, I am that person. You can't understand for my thing that I have a ton of, even though I don't realize it until people mention it. It's sneakers. I probably have now in my apartment alone, roughly 70 pairs. And this is pairs that I've amassed over a 15 year period or so. No, we'll say maybe like 13 year period

This is a great topic, at least from my I own a ridiculous amount of of electronics. I hate to part with my old electronics, many of which are not functioning to the degree where they must be plugged in all the time. But I have an abundance of old cell phones or tablets, old computers. I just can't part with them

Also sneakers!!

I am so similar to Lena and Juan, and that I have way too many shoes, way too many shoes. And I also have, like, way too many clothes that don't even fit me. But I have way too many shoes. I've spent way too much money on sneakers. And since the Pandemic, I've literally only worn a pair of shoes a couple of times. So it's really unnecessary at this point. But I have way too many shoes. That's my answer

You know the lingo! 😆 @Izzy

Izzy, you just gained tremendous points from me that you are a sneakerhead. You're talking about releases. Oh, yeah, that's that's that sneaker head talk right there. It's different and levels to it. So at my job, I always get teased and mocked for my pairs of sneakers, even though, like I said, I haven't bought new pairs in years. But most people wouldn't know that because I literally have enough to wear three months straight without wearing the same pair

A specific artist's pendants.

And then we finally decided a week or so ago to have them shipped. And yeah, now it's like how to plan my outfit. Not what I'm going to wear, but which pendant do I want to wear? And then I'll decide my outfit. I'll plan it around it young know, and then I can choose the nail Polish. It makes me sound like I'm obsessed with clothes and fashion, and I'm really not. I just have certain things that I really like

I own a ridiculous amount of black spiral notebooks, which I've been filling up with random thoughts and notes on books that I've have been reading since I was, I think eleven or twelve. A lot of them have gone to my family and friends, but I still have a few black spiral notebooks that's pretty wild

Plaaaaaants

During this lockdown, I've specifically become addicted to buying plants. For some reason, the gardener inside me just wants to come out and keep nurturing plants. And it's been been a wonderful journey. Just that when the climate changed, a lot of them died and it felt bad. But then that was the reason for me to go and buy new plants. So every day is a new day and I'm enjoying every moment of it. I don't regret it

Countless amount of cassettes and cds.

Hey, I have a countless amount of cassettes and CDs. I'm a Church musician in the black Church, and we don't don't have sheep music. That goes with a lot of the songs that we teach our choirs in Church. So I've been doing this for wow, 30 years. So imagine all of the cassettes and CDs that I have. And then on top of that, the ones that I've created myself to give to musicians to learn the music

Would you like to know God? There's only one God and one book for us Christians is called Bible. No matter if you can have a million William books, you will never get to know Jesus through them only through the Bible. God's laws, written

I just didn't count the Bibles I had. I have at least ten different Bibles in my house that I was given by my family. So yeah, the Bible is important to me, but I love reading every thing I learned to read at the age of three. And my mom always encouraged me to read, and that's what got me through high school with my learning disabilities

Arsenal shirts ⚽️

So I'm doing my laundry today, and I'm folding my clothes, and I come across one of my Arsenal kits, and I fold that and I set it aside. And then I get to a pair of socks. And then after that, an Arsenal kit. And then after that, an Arsenal kit. And I started thinking to myself, Do I have a problem here? And I went to my closet, and half of it is Arsenal shirts
