Collect_n_Display's Profile

I am the boyfriend.

I live in an 1100 sq ft loft type space, not your typical NYC closet apartment. I invited Amanda to live with me, and have thus far been agreeing to every change she wants to make. I have rearranged my furniture, agreed to get new furniture, agreed to paint, agreed to this, agreed to that.

I had to draw the line though, when it comes to my collection of Yodas (I have much more Star Wars stuff in storage). Arranged in mass as the old photo indicates, I like to think of it as a faux shrine (particularly considering this character was conceived as an aspect of Buddha). I have been maintaining this kitsch collection for about 15 years now, and it has much personal value.

I would hope, knowing this background, all but the most soul-less folks will grant my right to keep these most favored items out of exile and on display... without damning myself to a life of solitary acne-addled sadness.

Epilogue: Amanda and I have resolved the dispute with the purchase of a nice wooden hutch with glass doors.

Most fascinating is how I find myself assuming as many horrible things about the uptight snooties who balk at anything they perceive as sub-normal -- as they seem to be assuming about me.
Perhaps the lesson here is: when asked for an opinion on the weather, don't lecture about politics.
