Sometimes, people will form an emotional connection to an item or a place. This can happen for any number of reasons. Perhaps the item is a reminder of a past tragedy...or a gift from a departed friend or loved one. Perhaps being in a particular place reminds you of what took place there ( Read more... )

I have a few things.

[Private] dark_surgeonx September 4 2011, 22:53:59 UTC

Mind if I ask what one of them might be?

[He breathes deep.]

Personal items. My academy medals.

A few photos (a few? try a lot) I have some of my sister's things too.

[Private] dark_surgeonx September 4 2011, 23:14:48 UTC

You and your sister were close?

Why do you ask?

dark_surgeonx September 4 2011, 22:56:35 UTC

Conversation. [Because he can't be a shut in here like he is back home.]

Some small statues, representative of my family.

dark_surgeonx September 4 2011, 23:25:05 UTC

Ancestors or living family?

I once had a book. But that connection has been severed.

Private dark_surgeonx September 6 2011, 01:16:37 UTC

What sort of book was it?

Private inhumandog September 6 2011, 01:18:02 UTC

A book from the last weeks of my life. Given to me by a...well, I suppose he might be called a friend sometimes.

Private. greatlightother September 5 2011, 21:53:21 UTC

Small objects. Little things I've been given in my time here. A bracelet. A set of keys. Birds. Dog tags. A leaf. Peas. [A sad laugh.] I like to do that. Put emotional attachment onto things. It's gotten much easier that way.

Private. dark_surgeonx September 6 2011, 01:18:55 UTC

Birds? Really?

Private. greatlightother September 6 2011, 01:20:40 UTC

Why not?

Private. dark_surgeonx September 6 2011, 04:58:20 UTC

It seemed a strange gift for a place like this.

I keep a box of stuff from my travels before I came to the Barge, and have added stuff from after as well.

Private. dark_surgeonx September 7 2011, 02:03:14 UTC

Mind if I ask what sort of items you've added?

Private. thegooddrjones September 7 2011, 13:24:30 UTC

Sure. I've added a fair bit. Letters, things from ports, things people have given me.

I've been here over two years, and three in my personal timeline. There's loads of things.

Private. dark_surgeonx September 8 2011, 16:48:16 UTC

Sounds like quite a while to gain a collection of things.
