As I witnessed Mr. Katie spending yet another hour outside, lovingly polishing his new car, I wondered if other people got so passionate about an inanimate object. And that leads me to ask you all the same thing: Do you love some non-living object with all the fervor and devotion that is normally given to a beastie or humanoid?

no joke. they have a special place on my bookshelf.
And my laptop. I baby my laptop and love it. I also apologize to my books if I crease the spines by accident....

I like my things, but at the end of the day they're just things and if I had the money I could replace them. I never have the money, though. And besides, Eduardo is a good little car (06 civic 4 door), and Big Shiny (G5 tower) still cleans the clock of every other computer in the house/offices.
I couldn't bear to throw away Little Shiny (my ancient laptop that I haven't used in years), even though the screen has long since died and it's terribly out of date. It would be simple for someone else to fix, and I keep thinking I'll find someone willing to trade me for it so I can go buy a new laptop.

As for me, I hug my books (specifically my dragon and dark one books)! And get very sad when people take them out of their cabinet, fold the corners, or put them in an area when someone could spill liquid on them (like my husband's car trunk, or the coffee table). I whimper and go out and purchase a replacement which then gets hugged.
