i used to collect garfield's. All kinds form stuffed animals to porcelain plates, canisters, glasses, toys. I even have a garfield tattoo, with my sons name and b-day. Now its had become my 6 yr old sons collection, he kinda claimed it as his own. Oh Well!! I don;t really collect anymore, just keep what I already have.


My daughter collects Garfield and Im surprised she hasn't gotten a tattoo. Anyway, I collect koala bears...,..,

As a kid, my dad and my older brother introduced me to collecting stamps. Postage stamps. Then my brother and school introduced me to organizing and keeping records of my collection. Later, I found myself at crossroads: Collect maps or flags, and I chose maps.

In grade seven I collected chewing gum wraps, or bubble gum ones (Joe) and also -- don't laugh -- empty cigarette boxes. My mom and dad were both chain smokers, but they smoked drab communist Hungarian cigarettes sold in drab wrappers. In the West, Pall Mall, Craven-A, Camel, and other cigarette manufacturers created really beautiful and charming boxes. The life in Hungary, in those oppressive communist times, was so drab that an empty cigarette box would lighten up a child's day for an entire day or so.

Much later in life I collected antique maps, then I dealt in antique maps for a long time, until I got really... how should I say... not fed up, not tired of my beautiful maps, but... oversaturated. Yeah.

Now I collect my postings on internet sites, on forums and message boards. They are hard to keep track of and keep them organized, because there are so many of them. I usually just throw them in a bin, and I noticed recently that I am slipping, I don't preserve even a very good one or an excellent one either from time to time.

In my youth I collected music. Record albums on vinyl, then CDs. After I built a my collection to near-completion, I still enjoy them, unlike my maps. Although some of the bands lost their original appeal to me, like Bee Gees in the sixties, or the Monkees, and many others.

dust.
i have tons of the stuff.

Dust, heh? laugh
I collect candles of all sizes. Some are hanging from the ceiling. If my landlord came over she'd probably freak out and say it's a fire hazard.

On the ceiling? You are not kidding?

Because "candles and a girl" invariably brings up one and only one connection in my one-track mind.

The last and i guess so far the only time that I saw a woman do love to a ceiling was in the second of the "Funny Movie" series, in which a girl gets done sexually by an (invisible) ghost; they start in bed, progress up the wall, go across the ceiling and come down the other wall.

You only see her, and nothing of the ghost, but it's incredibly obvious. And there is no sexually exposed parts... it's done all in very good taste, seeing it was a pg 13 or a bit higher, I am not familiar with the ratings these days. It was not an adult move or 18+ only. 14 and parental supervision, maybe? I dunno.
