RE: This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff
Some people may think starving themselves of pretty things that they like and suggestions of leisure activities in their surroundings can bring them to some kind of enlightened state of being. That's fine I guess, at least it's not as unhealthy as fasting for enlightenment or isolation from human contact for enlightenment. n-n;; As for what this 'enlightenment' means to them, well, I don't see it, but if it makes them feel good about themselves, that's ok!

Personally, I like "things". A lot. I like to have a lot to fascinate the guests, a lot to give (I may hoard, but I also dispense gifts relatively frequently.) and a lot to engage them with such as having resources for a lot of different types of crafts and arts that I can whip out at any time we wanna do group arts. I also like things that are shiny, pretty and intricate. When I see some object with love and skillz put into its conception, it wows me, and I collect things as if I'm collecting precious little bits of soul from all over the world. I like things that have character, that show a little use, that have their own story to tell. And I surround myself with these things, probably to the frowny faces of many "live light, don't hoard junk" kinna people. xD

Thank goodness having lots doesn't mean SPENDING lots. I abhor spending. It's almost physically painful for me to lose even 25 cents. I just have a good eye for treasures being sold super cheap in flea markets, thrift shops, weird little trinket shops and garage sales... xD You don't need to pick stuff up often, but over a lifetime it accumulates. Not to mention I've always listed "cool trinkets" as things people can give me as gifts.

I wouldn't be embarrassed to invite a friend over if I lost all my stuff, but we would probably just kind of look at the house, nod and each other, and think something like "there is a lot of work to be done ;D" and the cycle of hoarding shall begin once again. xD

As for eating as a social activity, I think cooking together would count? And if you haven't seen each other for awhile, then catching-up-talk? Otherwise, like on forums, various conversations? Except if you find eating and talking at the same time to be difficult. xD
