    Default Anybody here collect weird things?

    I admit it, I'm an old fart!! I collect CRYSTALS. I collect Swarovski, mainly, and I'm even a member of the Swarovski Crystal Society... and today I just bought a new addition to my family:



    Isn't he precious?

    I have roses, butterflies, shells, hearts, lemons, lilies, crystal Australian flags, and a beetle. Even the necklaces I wear every day are Swarovski.

    What's your embarrassing little collection secret? C'mon, anyone else collect something either outdated or silly?! I told you mine.

    I collect hello kitty stuff. I have blankets, sheets, pajamas, towels, t-shirts, dolls (like 20 all different sizes), tons of pencils, stickers, erasers, folders, and even a hello kitty vibrator. I also still have my eraser collection from when I was in elementary school--its in two huge tins and its just tons of random japanese erasers.

    I collect weaponry. Mostly knives and alot of other cool stuff.
    I also collect action figures. Weird, sometimes twisted ones you wouldn't want to give to your kids.

    Airplane barf bags. They're so ingenious, with the laminated innards and the wired tie at the top!

    When I was a kid my aunt thought that I collected coins and notes - which I never did but because she kept sending them I ended up having quite a collection. I still have coins and notes from all over the world - all the places that she visited.

    I have a lot of stuffed toys.

    I am OBSESSED with buffy stuff too

    Now that I'm in my 20s though I feel kind of lame when people say, "That's really your favorite show?"

    People say that to me, but it usually provokes me to rant for a few hours about all the mature real life topics that are dealt with in the show (death, loss, family, growing up, sacrifice, etc), and that shuts them up. Probably cos they think I'm crazy.

    I'm adding a Buffy tattoo to my collection soon!

    I sort of do that too. I like to get them from places I have been that I might want to return to someday. I try and pick up either a matchbook or business card on my way out of a bar or resturaunt so I will remember the name and location.

    I collect video games and video game systems right now.

    I'm working on starting my collection of Video Arcade units. Just today I was negotiating for the TMNT: Turtles in Time arcade unit. Doubt it will happen this time though.

    Looking most specifically for an original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade cabinet.
    A Neo-Geo MVS 4-slot Arcade Cabinet w/ Mutation Nation, Robo Army, Samurai Showdown and Metal Slug
    Alien vs. Predator arcade Cabinet
    The Simpsons arcade Cabinet
    and
    The X-Men arcade Cabinet.
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
    Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

    It's not much of a collection, but I have several good-luck cats (aka ). I really like them and I have them in different colors, some with a raised right paw and some with a raised left. I especially like the Chinese variations. One day when I have money, I'd like to build a more serious collection.
