Anal Retentive or Anal Expulsive

Some people have a passion for collecting something. Be it stamps, cars, action figures, and yes, even lovers. Growing up, I never developed any fondness for accumulating things except for LP records. But they don't count since most of them were given to me. Even the CDs I now have were gifts.

A collector is someone who spends an unbelievable amount of time, energy and money. I have the first two but the latter, zilch.

So do collectors have anal retentive personality? I don't know. Maybe.

For sure, I'm not. I'm more of the anal expulsive type. Hahaha.

It's difficult for people to let go. But somehow I could do it easily. I'm not insensitive, contrary to what you might be thinking. In fact, I'm a cry-baby. Boo hoo! Rather than release my anger at someone or something, crying is my therapeutic process of centering myself. It helps me see the situations clearer. Not all crying is bad.

In the times I'm not crying, I would be smiling and laughing a lot. (Hmmm... serious case of bipolar disorder?) :)

Crying is a personal matter. Smiling and laughing is a social one. However, I do tend to smile and laugh at myself. Try it sometimes. It's also a way of releasing any stress (if you don't like crying).

So, you ask, "If you're not anal retentive, then why do you have a collection of Ferrari cars?"

The answer is: to give them to deserving people who likes them. Just send a heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, emotion-filled message why do you deserve to have a Ferrari? Otherwise, Sylar gets them all. Imagine a cool cat in a cool car. Hahaha!

Wait, should I give one to Willie R.?
