I seem to collect bruises...from being adventurous and clumsy at the same time.

I've got faith that you'll find something spectacular... that doesn't involve a yard-sale.

I rescue toys from thrift stores. I feel bad for them. I guess one too many Pixar film. Mostly stuffed animals and Barbie type dolls. I like comic books and trading cards. I am into nostalgia. I have a lot of cassette tapes for my car's cassette deck. I love buying shoes at thrift shops. I recently got into PS 2 and own two and tons of games. I love books.

I used to collect comic books, but that became manga and anime. Music and books are my biggest collections, but if you want specifics, I collect Haunted Mansion memorabilia as well as Nightmare Before Christmas and Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) items. Stuff like that is always fascinating to me. My sister used to collect a lot of the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff along with later stuff such as Corpse Bride.

I know what you mean, I keep trying to streamline my stuff, but every time I try to recycle my old toys I get visions of Toy Story and The Velveteen Rabbit and I CAN'T!

I didn't really decide to start a NBC collection, but all my friends and family know that I adore Tim Burton, so every year I get more NBC stuff. Not that I'm complaining!

I wash I was as lucky with people paying attention to what I collect. I usually end up with loads of crap I don't use or have no idea what to do with.

Just own up to your Cabbage Patch doll collection, and stop trying to blame other people.

It was like that for me before Hot Topic came along. I noticed that my presents got exponentially better when that store came along.

Just own up to your Cabbage Patch doll collection, and stop trying to blame other people. But Torgo, You said you were missing a few of them, so being the sweetheart I am, I sent them to you to finish your collection. When you send back the ones you don't need, I'll donate them to a Children's shelter in your name.

I've gone through various collections... Longaberger Baskets (still have some but not actively collecting.) Antique kitchen tins, tools and canning jars (still have some but not actively collecting.) Non-Christmas snowmen to decorate with in January (still have some but not actively collecting.) Quilt fabric, tools, FQs, etc - the addiction continues but I'm really into using what I have on hand. *Dust - oh yeah, probably forever. At this point in life, especially after several moves (including a recent one) I'm not that connected to "stuff." I love/use what I do have, am not adverse to getting something new, but also can say "goodbye" to things. They are just things. People and experiences...that is a collection not to be disregarded! (Mingle friends, included!)
