The average person throws out 19 pounds of garbage per week. Between now and August 24, however, you have license to exceed that figure by a large margin. In fact, Virgo, the cosmos would love you to carry out a Great Purge. So take full advantage of this opportunity to lighten your load. Get rid of every last scrap of dross and clutter, give away anything that has outlived its usefulness, and unburden yourself of outmoded necessities that have been sitting untouched in a closet or storage unit for more than a year. As much as you possibly can, free yourself of the unnecessary residues of your past.
...because I'm going to get to pack the rest of it up and move it to Canada, and I want to minimize the hassle? Please? *bangs head on wall*
Actually, I have been trying to whittle down the contents of my room for some time, although not by throwing things away. I hate doing that. (19 lbs a week?? dear gods! I surely do not. My room's trash can doesn't weigh that much and I only have to empty it every few weeks. Even if you cout kitchen scraps I don't. eek.) I've been selling (or trying to sell, or give away) CDs I never listen to, old magical apparati (? plural of apparatus), clothing, videotapes, etc... limited success so far.

But yeah, sometimes throwing things out is a good way to get other things moving.

After Jeremy (my roommate/boyfriend) decided to become vegetarian, and I ceased to eat a lot of meat because it was a pain to buy and cook for just one person, our kitchen trash built up a lot more before we actually threw it out, because there was much less odor.
Vegetarianism has so many side benefits, but I still like a steak every so often ^_^
