I'm trying David Michael Bruno's 100 Things Challenge -- listing all my personal possessions and trying to keep them to 100 things. Join me!

The rules I'm following:

• Only personal things, that belong only to me. Doesn't include household furniture, dishes, etc.
• Books aren't counted. I'd never make 100 things if I counted books, even though I don't keep even 1/4 of what I used to own. Edit: Actually, now that I've gotten rid of many of my books, I think I could get to under 100 things if I included books. I'm aiming for half a dozen books, and I'm almost there.
• I can get new things, but will try to keep them under 100 things.

I'm going to leave myself a little room, in case I get more things as gifts (though I usually ask people not to get me things). It might seem like a lot, listed like this, but it doesn't take a huge amount in my closet (and two drawers).

Obviously I own more than this, if you count shared items. A couple of couches, a bed, a dresser, TV, an Apple TV, a TV stand, a dining room set, dishes and pots and pans, food, a refrigerator, a digital camera, soap and shampoo. Books -- probably less than a dozen now that I've recently given away most of them. Not to mention the things the rest of my family owns that I don't use. The items listed above are just my personal items, owned only by me.
