I am sentimentle about things as well. I have every pair of running shoes I've ever owned, school work from the seventh grade, and I used to have a huge rock collection in my coat pockets in 4th grade, but now I don't rock-hound that much anymore (my mom wanted me to throw the rocks out of my jacket because it was a pain washing my coat with a bunch of rocks in the pockets). My peak of sentimentality is over now, but when I was around my peak in 4th grade, I would keep EVERYTHING! I've just learned to throw away stuff easier, eventhough I do have a hint of sentimentality left.
