My Collection
Do you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?
I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.
What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

Shot glasses
I am not really much of a drinker. When I do drink it tends to be whisky, though this is usually in a tumbler over ice. So quite why I have an entire shelf full of shot glasses doesn't quite seem to be apparent. I think it started a long, long time before I reached legal drinking age, buying shot glasses with those oh so funny slogans on (the type that only a twelve year old wouldn't have previously heard - but that's the age I was, so I think it's okay).
Friends and relatives started bringing me back shot glasses from holidays, seeing as I had a fair few and they didn't know what else to get me. As I now had some with place names on I started bringing my own back from abroad, just as a souvenier to say I'd been there. By this point all sorts of novelty and abnormally sets were coming in as birthday and christmas presents (beats a Lynx gift set, I can tell you).
Alas, now they are just sat on a shelf, obscured by other junk that I have no other place for. I should probably get them all down, give them a wash and put them on display properly somewhere, but I really can't be bothered.
If anyone ever fancies a drink with me then you can rest assured that I have ample amounts of vessels to contain it.
You'll have to supply the booze though.
Also, I now have 33 of the original series Doctor Who DVDs (with more preordered) and both new series. It makes me smile but my bank balance cry.
And my girlfriend doesn't think much of it either.
