Now, fortunately for me, she's not the type of person who refuses to throw away rotten food or who keeps soiled tissue paper or anything like that. If she was, I wouldn't be living here. No, apparently she just likes random stuff. She's the kind of person who keeps things just in case someone might conceivably need them, someday, maybe, who knows. That being said, I don't know whether someone might ever want to use the following items, all of which are found in the house where I rent my room (location in parenthesis):
-A mannequin (next to the front door)
-An old CRT monitor made by Gateway Computers (under a table, next to the mannequin)
-A 1992 issue of People magazine with Princess Di on the cover (stairs)
-A Russian bootleg release of Fahrenheit 911...in VHS (kitchen counter)
-A rotary saw (floor of the guest bathroom)
It's like I'm living in the imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
I asked her about this once, and she truly does want to get rid of all of this useless crap...someday. Like, maybe next year or something. Unless someone might need that VHS tape, then oh no, she guesses she'd better just keep it, just in case.
This morning, as I was leaving the house, I tripped over a cardboard cutout of Captain Kirk from the 2009 Star Trek movie. It's not a question of why she doesn't get stuff anymore; now I'm actually curious as to where she gets all of this stuff in the first place.
