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?

My forgotten compulsion.I completely forgot about this as it's become more of a habit than a collection. Since college whenever I go to the cinema or into a bar that has the racks of free postcards I'll go and have a browse and pick up some of the ones that I find most amusing or nice to look at. In itself this isn't strange - That's what the bloomin' things are there for after all.
What is strange is the fact I can't just leave with one, I have to take at least 3 of the blighters and will take more if I really like the design. I think that my original reason for taking a few was to have one to put on display, one to send to a friend and one to keep for posterity.
As a result I have 2 shoeboxes full of postcards, most of which I've never sent to anyone or used to decorate anything. Mightly pointless, but in a strange way it's comforting to have them there.
Second post this week. I find that two medium sized ones are more satisfying that one lengthy one
