My CollectionDo 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?

mild OCD coupled with a really short attention spanbetween the ages of 3-7
barbies, and everything to do with barbies, sylvanian families (including some rare ones you could only buy in the states that were never played with) and playmobil (of which i had 2 large red crates of the stuff, including a pirate ship, wells and fargo stagecoach and full native american village of which i was very proud).
7-13: anything to do with star trek, small ships, big ships, posters, figurines, badges, all of which i sold when i realised i was on the verge of inescapable geekism. also, semi-precious stones, fossils and costume jewellry.
i stopped collecting things around then as my dad was planning to move, and didn't want to have to hire a van solely full of my junk.
these days its mostly physics degrees (i have one, only slightly battered), interesting injuries and pants (not other peoples, i'd like to point out, i just buy new ones more than i think is normal...)
