Eversince I was a kid, I always had this co,pulsion to collect little thungs. The first cillection i had were pretty little stationeries. That was when I was eight. Then my aunt gave me my first set of stamps and i got hooked on it for a while. Next came the comic books and the coins. Had my closet full of them. Then I fell in love with pocketbooks and i also had quite a collection of Mills & Boons and Harlequinn Romances. As i grew older and my interests developed, my collections also grew in size and variety, from simple little things to limited edition items. Right now i'm startin a new collection : coffee mugs. :P What's yours?

Good idea. That way you will have records of the exact date and places of where you've been to. You can have them scanned and posted in your blog or something, along with your pics.

I don't really have anything I collect. But that reminds me of something that happened years ago. I spent the night at my parent's house, slept in my brother's bed because he was at his friend's house. Think he was about 14 at the time. It was early in the morning and still kind of dark, and I saw these things on the windowsill, so I picked one up and looked at it, couldn't figure out what the heck it was, put it back. Saw him the next day and said hey there's something on your windowsill. He said did you touch it? I said yeah, was trying to figure out what it was. He got this big ole grin on his face, and said, that's my scab collection. That was one of the few times in my life I was left absolutely speechless trying to comprehend what a "scab collection" was, then it dawned on me, he always fell off his bike and skateboard and always had sores and scabs, and now he's collecting them, and I touched it....gross! He was definitely the weird child in the family :)

LOL! That really had me going...Scabs??? You're brother probably felt that they were some sort of trophy or something... to remind him how he has struggled and conquered the bike! hehe Thanks for the share. :)
