That title was totally gonna be awesome; with an innuendo and everything! But screw that.

Anyways! Do you guys have any collections, or compulsions that can be passed off as a collection, or anything of the sort?

Do you love sorting things? Collecting weird rocks, signs, or quotes? Do you hoard things? Do you love donating things? This is getting pretty broad...

I like organizing and renaming my files, and keeping my hard drives neat and tidy. So at least something in my room is organized...

I've also collected license plates since I was ten or so, and decided I'd start writing down license plate numbers I saw, and what state or place they're from, and keep them all in a notebook. There are probably at least four notebooks I try keeping all of that in, but another one of my habits is losing things very easily...

So what's your hobby/collection/compulsion?

I think thread can be a lot of fun. Hmmmmm....

when I was a kid it was stickers. Any kind you could imagine. I had over a thousand.

As a teenager my walls were littered with photos of Ralph Macchio, and later replaced by The Monkees. I still have 4 photo albums filled with pictures of them...somewhere.

Later it was Quantum Leap. I recorded EVERY show. I know longer have them, but I do have at least one photo album filled with photos. Somewhere.

Now I have a collection of limited addition Barbies. To name a few: Scarlett O'Hara, Marilyn Monroe, Bewitched, Dorothy and so on.

I also have porcelain dolls. A collection of cows due to a long running joke.

I collect Joker stuff... and anything that's purple and green.

In my freshman year of high school, my friend and I would wear stickers on our faces every single day. Some people in my bio class started calling me Stickers, and I was in enough classes with one of them in the past two years for that name to stick.


Did you ever get made fun of or get fun names out of your collections and obsessions? Did they stay, maybe become usernames, or did the people who made the name slip out of your life?

Hmmmmm....no nicknames from my collections..."Stickers" I love it! :D As an adult , I was always--still do--telling blond jokes. My co-workers dubbed me "Blondie" that one did stick for a while.

I was known as 'the Hippie' by many at my high school.
Maybe this was due to my ever present love of the beatles, my old collection of tie dye shirts, my vegetarian diet, my hair that grew past my waist... no it must have been the flipflops.

I don't have any pics, but I went to my 8th grade graduation wearing bell bottoms, a tie dyed shirts, and a leather fringe jacket.

I've since tried to be more subtle about my hippie ways. (even cut my hair)

i collect garden gnomes.

I have a collection of canned animals





edited to add photo

I collect human tongues.

I collect weird and neat rocks.

I've been doing it since I was a kid, though this hobby was worsened with age and education. I think I'm getting better about it, but we'll see. My most recent acquisition was a nice slab of beautiful ripple marks in 1.6-1.3Ga sandstone. I have buckets and buckets of my rocks in my parent's garage. I'm thinking of taking a rocksaw to some of them, so that I'll only have a little slice of the rock instead of the whole thing.

Ever see that show Dexter? I do what he does...

Me too! Seriously though I love that show!

I have a large collection of antique fishing rods, reels, and lures.

My dad called me last night and told me he had found an odd fishing rod and reel with the name Bryant Bannister on the side.

Can't wait to see what it looks like.

Shiny things...

My rocks are probably my longest standing collection. Most of them aren't rare or unusual, they're just attractive, caught my eye whilst I was out. A few semi-precious (turquoise, mostly), some fossils, lots of petrified wood.

Rubber ducks. No clue why, they just make me smile.

i play NFS Carbon and RE4 :) i Own at Both..

Yep. Weird rocks.

I collect and show off sexy.

Hey Your favorite movi must be Ichi the killer?

i used to collect the Weekend Plus section of the news paper. It came in Friday's paper and it had all the Art's & ent. stuff, Places to eat, and all the movie reviews.
Mostly for the movie section since i'm still pursuing my writing career.
Kind of read it to see if Ebert was wrong or right.

At the moment, my apartment is starting to feel like I'm collecting televisions and computer monitors. I have 5 TVs, 3 monitors... oh, and 4 printers. They don't all work, and they're not all hooked up... but they're are taking up a lot of space in this one-bedroom of mine.


As kid, I (too) collected stickers. I would put them in photo albums, and every once in a while, take out the scratch-and-sniffs.

But currently, I (too) like sorting things. Does that make me weird? I have like 5 full file boxes, 1 file cabinet, and all kinds of notebooks. I used to help my father by sorting out old screws and nails for him... and my mother by sorting out beads and stuff. I like being organized.

Crap, now even I think I'm weird.

I'm gonna go turn the lights on and off a few times... see if that does anything for me.

Jericho, is that you? c'mon, don't be shy
