Boyd and I use to never go out on typical dates...you know, to a movie, out to eat. We couldn't stand to waist money on a movie that we might hate, or food that wasn't good. Instead we would always go antiquing or looking for collectibles. Something eBay has just about eliminated. Anyway, we'd drag the kid's through shops, and to outdoor swap meet places. They hated it for so long. We'd come home with our $10 prize for that trip. That was our "date". Then the kids started finding things they wanted to collect. Now they have amazing, cool, vintage things that they take with them when they leave home. When I get things now, they put their name on it if it is something they want to get someday. I think it makes it special. and for my kitchen wall? Boyd calls that my "70's cheap art, home decorating, crappy art wall". I agree!  That is so adorable/cool. I wish my family had something as nice as that to do with each other! Also, I like the way everything's arranged in the room. I don't think it's cluttered or anything like that. Now if you look at my room...  _________________ I lay in the grass and I lose your scent. |

I have a mug collection. Like coffee mugs. Like a I have a liver mug and a pancreas mug and a mug with wheels and a Marvin the Martian mug. I love em. And I think your '70's cheap art, home decorating, crappy art wall' is pretty sweet. Plus it's all over the internet and magazines now because of that picture.  _________________ Soft sweet music makes me sleep, Calling my mind away... |

It looks like it was designed by a person with OCD throwing crap onto a wall, no offense to anyone, but seriously. Its more jam-packed with more random stuff than Japanese toy store. OMG, nice! Good-bye Mrs. Eisley, it was nice having you on the board.  Who the heck is this "Mrs. Eisley"? Duh, it's teh Eisley's moms. More importantly who are "teh Eisley's"? You know the answer to that. |

 I thought for the LONGEST time that that photo was taken at Buca di Beppo's. (it's a snazzy'esque Italian restaurant with very cool decorating. i.e. crimson walls with every square inch of it completely and utterly covered with cool artsy things like in this photo. Just more densely-covered lol) The table looks like it came from the Great Hall a la Hogwarts. _________________

Is that the corner of a matle/fireplace on the side? Or am I wrong? Whatever the trim is is really gorgeous. |

that room is not OCD. OCD would be a blank wall with nothing on it, super sanitized. The pictures/videos I've seen of the Eisley house seem really fun. Lots of good stuff going on. |

The pictures/videos I've seen of the Eisley house seem really fun. Lots of good stuff going on. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can actually be about anything someone obsesses and then makes compulsions over. While sanitary habits is one of the most prominent forms of OCD, it could really be about anything. It's moreso the adverse affects your habits have on your life rather than the content of those habits. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

Yes, I know what OCD is, but thanks for pointing that out, since a lot of people might not know what OCD really is. I should have been more sensitive. I was just saying that if we were to stereotype OCD people, and how their houses would look, the stereotype would be that the walls would be empty and clean, nothing out of order...etc. |
