I’m not talking about hoarding, but a collection of things you like.
I collect a bunch of things, but over the last 6 months I’ve begun a hat collection. I currently have about 20 hats (newsboy, spitfire, bucket, derby, fedora, duck bill, among others). The strange part is that I don’t have a clue as to why I’m collecting hats (I don’t like to wear hats in public), so I have to find my motivation for collecting hats.
Do you collect things? Any reason for the collection?
I collect lotsa things, and keep them in jars on my windowsil.
I have some common things, like seashells from a beach, marbles from when I was a kid, and coins.
Then I have some, er… odd stuff. Very odd.
I have a jar full of braided hair,some very long, from my haircutting days.
A jar full of toe mail clippings, fingernail clippings…really.
Then there are the briggt shiny metal things I find on the ground.
At one time I had a pretty good coin collection for a kid my age, but I pawned it for drinking money. I didn’t get much more than face value for the damn things.
I used to collect books, DVDs, and CDs. I’ve gotten rid of that, but still collect too much in the way of electronics and antique cameras. I’m trying to pare down the electronics I own next as I can’t possibly play with everything. The antique cameras are staying.
I used to collect bobblehead dolls of baseball players! Still have them. Now I collect quarters (25 cent coins) I have about 100 in my cars ashtray laying around there when I get change at the store I put them there. Ok that was a lame joke. But bobblehead dolls!!!
