Collecting?

Beanie babies! I remember spending all my pocket money buying new ones. I have so many and I love them all! I don't think I'll ever part with them. It was quite annoying because I got less pocket money than my older sister because I was younger so she would go and buy all these amazing ones and I had to wait longer.

Anyway, now I collect DVD's, I literally hoard them. I love them! I am hoping to own a lot of the classic who ones soon as I hate watching things online as my internet connection and video buffering is always so unreliable. I also love bonus features but I'm not one for "limited edition" unless it has something amazing on it. I spend a lot of my money on DVD's when I should really be buying clothes... serious- I have no clothes. I just love owning films and TV series, it makes me feel very happy that I could watch it whenever I felt like it.

 

I have two shelves devoted purely to comics. My "collection" is quite meager when you consider the fact that there are nerds with boxes upon boxes of comics stored in their basement, all neatly filed and arranged in alphabetical order. I will say, however-- and rather proudly-- that I do have in my possession a few foreign comics as well. Diabolik, Zagor, Alan Ford. That's more than some geeks can attest to. Yes, Marvel and DC aren't the only active comic book publishing companies. Shocker.

As far as Yu-Gi-Oh cards are concerned... I own a holographic Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. What's that count for, I wonder?

I also collect dolls, albeit to a lesser extent. Matryoshka and the like.

 

Could I call my video game library a collection? Undoubtedly, of all the things I own, I own the most games... but "collection" implies more than that, I think. The willingness to acquire for acquisition's sake, not to use, but simply to have.

I definitely collect things in the games though, haha. Weapons, armor, trinkets. Items that serve no purpose except to be sought. When it comes to the practical stuff, I like to have as many options as possible; as far as sheer collectibles, well, it's fulfilling to face all the challenges the game can offer. To me they represent the effort it took to get them. I wonder what it says about me that I can only be bothered to make that effort in a virtual environment...

 

I have collected a lot of things in my time. I used to collect keychains but gave up, then I started to collect rocks from places I would go. When that died down I collected T-shirts(This one I still do). For a while I collected beanie babies, and right now I collect Rubber Ducks.

For a while I tried collecting coins. I had a booklet of pennies that dated as far back as 1956(I could be wrong there).

 

I collect tons of stuff lol Right now I'm concentrating on phone charms, Pokemon cards, Pokemon figures, MLP stuff, and any old school anime stuff I can find in thrift stores. Other collections that I'm not necessarily working on now are DBZ and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, DBZ and Bleach figures, chopsticks, various manga series, and I guess you could say video games...I just get whatever appeals to me when I have the money lol
I also collect pictures of hot guys (real and fictional) because I mean...who wouldn't want to? :B
