What do you collect?
I used to think I didn't collect anything, but I think I realised that I collect DVD's when I realised that I haven't actually watched about half of the DVD's in my collection. I mean I've seen most of the films at other times, but generally, I bought the DVD because I wanted it in my collection and it was cheap at the time, rather than because I really wanted to watch it. Of course I have quite a few rainy day DVD's, where I bought something I heard was good, so that I always have something good and new to watch when I've got nothing better to do. But I have quite a lot of "look good on the shelf" DVD's in my collection as well.
So what do you collect?

But I really collect discs (frisbees) I've got 12 so far, over the last three years. Two from one team (one in blue one a gift) one from world club championships, two pitch discs from competitions one from a team that was mates with most of them three from my own team, two that look cool and one that lights up.
although Im building up a big pepsi can collection but thats unintentional.
I suppose I am a sucker for buying books just so I can look back over what I have read. But I don't really COLLECT them as such.
When I was younger OF COURSE I collected beanie babies. We searched EVERYWHERE for the pig one, and I loved him forever more. Still got him, somewhere! But everyone used to collect beanie babies didn't they?
I hate throwing anything no matter how useless away! My room is crammed full of stuff I dont need anymore.
Lol, I'm like that. Wardrobes full of crap that needs getting rid of but hate chucking stuff out.
I have a small collection of stuff giraffes, and other little giraffey bits and bobs cos I'm a big fan Lol. I also collect dust in my bedroom.
I used to collect notebooks and coloured gel pens. Never used them though!
You'll find me fopp quite often browsing through the foreign language films for anything that looks interesting, I Can reccomend a German comedy film called Goodbye Lenin :thumb:
At the moment I am collecting books, yarn, patterns ... lots of things I just don't have room for
Me, fuck all, why would I want to collect a load of shite?
Me family collect coins though from different countries, stupid thing to do.
Personally because my discs remind me of things. Like my Jedi one is the pitch disc from the final of women's nationals last year.
So fuck.
ETA:Only messing. I suppose, still I think it's a load a shite.
ETA: Or you refuse to download music, because you'd rather have something that looks good on your shelf.
Reminds of those books and magazines you could collect when you were younger and when you put them in their binder all side by side in order it spelt out something or made some sort of image. If you were missing a couple it didn't look right.
I've also got 3 kayaks, does that count as a collection?
Oh and I collect hats, or at least people seem to think I do because they keep giving them to me!
Well sell them and GO SHOPPING!
(hence why I don't have a collection of anything, just a big fat wardrobe and a shopping addiction!)
:eek2: so you don't collect knee high stripy socks?
i used to collect marbles and badges when i was younger. and probably god knows what else! :cool:
