coasters

I've never been comfortable with stealing. My mother taught me it was wrong. When Winona rider got caught shoplifting back in the day, she won herself some bad publicity for a decade.

I don't steal. It's not cool. But there is something I like to collect. I take coasters from pubs, bars, restaurants, or wherever. I take them home, throw them in my basket, and use them on my desk.

I've been doing this for about five years. Coasters are one of my things. I like to collect them because they don't just sit in a box and collect dust. I use 'em. Besides, picking out the perfect coaster on a rough day can really change my sometimes dreary mood.
