Shelby's Introduction

Hello folks - I was invited here by good friend Stephen for the reason that I too am an accumulator of items. Part of it starting when my parents decided to move back to their home country and I had to quickly gather all the items that I had stored "At Home". This has led to years of eBaying and slow sorting and a test of my sentimental leanings. Now I am heading home to Europe and am on the longest eBay journey of my life. Perhaps I shall truly be free from objects and this consuming sickness. Another consumatory blessing or curse is that I have played music for the past 10 years (most notably in the punk band Frodus). Establishing myself in the music world has bestowed upon me being on press mailing lists and accumulating more CDs than I can even keep track of. To top it off I make some of my living™ by designing CD covers so these cultural objects multiply like tribbles. All this and my liking of pokémon makes my life a constant battle between my organic life and small Chinese-made plastic objects. I look forward to sharing with my comrades and friends my attempt to break free!
