This is a question 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?

Collections?
I don't collect a whole lot these days. My family and I have collected all sorts of junk over the years, including thoes fuckin' Beanie Babies. Of course Mom didn't jump ship at the proper time and is now stuck with depreciating funds, all balled up in a pillow case somewhere.

As for me, I used to collect Pogs... how fucking pointless. I swear man, all of those crazy "Slammers"... expensive stuff for a little kid living off of allowlance. So we got a billion of them, never used them for _anything_.

Nowadays I collect all sorts of anime/manga on my HD... nothing out of the ordinary for most people around here, so nothing special. DVDs... got plenty of those too.

My music collection is starting to grow quite a bit... I probably have 225+ albums right now. That isn't huge, but it is only going to get bigger. I loves me my metal music, man.

But the only fit of OCD I ever have is when it comes to organizing my music. My cd rack (which is simply the casing for the music) is in alphabetical and chronological order (by release date). Same goes for my cd binder (with purchased albums in front, and mixes next, then bonus discs last).

Hell, even when I rip stuff on my computer it has to be perfect. Always has to be ripped with certain ID3 tags and audio bitrate. And then I organize them all in my "PURCHASED ALBUMS" folder on my Media HD, alphabetical and chronological like the rest.

I have no real reason behind the compulsion besides the fact that I find shit quick.

And lastly I collect psychology textbooks...
