What do you have a passion for that you love to collect, how big is your collection of whatever it is, when did you start it and why?

orgers!

hello sexy how are you?

music, first and foremost. i take great pride in organizing and taking care of my music collection. i'm in the middle of filing and organizing all my "rare" CDs by prince, bowie and other artists and i hope to create a little database just to be extra anal.

to a lesser extent, i collect books and DVDs, but not as passionately as i collect music.

Promotional buttons 4 movies. I never conciously started, I just never threw them away and next thing U know, I had hundreds of 'em.

Books and picture frames.

I have to admit that I don't keep all books anymore simply because I just don't have the room, but I do have all my favs and about 300 more!

I have about 50 picture frames in my home all with photos of my friends and family. Some are quite unique and some I've bought on my travels.

I'm definitely a sucker for books and frames.

after music and parking tickets? i seem to have been collecting a lot of t-shirts with images of great artist.





Here are two new ones i've added to the family.

Now if i can only get my hands on a black Funkadelic shirt, i'd be set. At least for a little while.

I hear you on the parking tickets. Last semester I ended up with over $100 worth of parking tickets.....campus parking sucks.

Men.....


Just kidding....
Since i got into decorating my apartment i have now started collecting candles.


I also have become a bed sheet snob.. Nothing but the best, softest sheets...

I used to collect Beanie Babies....mainly the baseball ones (the bambinos). I don't really collect anything now.....except for junk. I never wanna throw anything out, so now I have magazines, random catalogs, and newspapers stacked up.

That's why i ride my bike whenever i can.

You think the city would have more sympathy for college students, i mean, you'd think that they'd go easier on a expired meter. Shit, the other day missed pumping more quarters into the meter by 10 mins and already had a 20 fucking dollar ticket on my windshield.

WTF, i could've parked there all day and it wouldn't have added up to that amount. And if i would've known i was gonna get a parking ticket, i wouldn't have put money into the meter in the first place.

Anime, Music & foriegn films

I'm truly not much of a collector, at least nothing I get passionate about. But I have lots of little collections. I've got my fair share of books, CDs and movies but I'm never one to own EVERYTHING by any particular artist or writer. I've got lots of shoes and purses, but I can go months without picking up a new pair or bag. And I tend to rotate between things. I'll buy nothing but books for months, then nothing but purses, then just look for shoes, etc. That's about it.

My belly button collects lint.

I know....I had started paying attention to when they check the meters and just put enough quarters in to get by just for when they actually check them. It kills me too when I've already put an assload of quarters in the meter and still end up with a ticket....that's the worst. Since parking is a problem here (meters and lack of spaces), a bike would be better, because people on bikes end up getting to class before people driving since it takes them 15-20 minutes just to find a parking space. That's so stupid to put a campus smack dab in the middle of the city.

I don't collect anything anymore. My ultimate ambition is to be living in a room that contains nothing but a bed and a TV, wearing a white robe every day.

I used to collect typewriters... but now you see why I stopped

Ace said:

now THAT'S the life. minus the tv, maybe.

and i just got a white spa robe for my birthday.

I collect stone eggs I have about 40 of them, varying in size from very very small to about 10 lbs. I started collecting them in 1993.




One's obsidian like the one in the pic, one's made out of concrete one's pearl studded from Romania, one my friend Åsa found on a beach in Greece. I love my eggs!
