Collections...

Post by Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi »

Are there any things you collect/used to collect?

I've began a collection of fingernail clippings a couple of months back, keeping them in a plastic bag in my sock drawer. I only have two dozen at most, but one of them is about a third of an inch long. I spent about three months growing it, and probably would have kept it growing if it didn't make me look like a freak.

Rusted metal I found on the street. It started when I moved to California. There was interesting debris all over the place, so I started picking it up. I finally stopped four years later when I moved to a new place a couple blocks away and I didn't think it would be possible to transport the collection there without arousing suspicion.
I prepared Explosive Runes today.

Many years ago I used to collect stickers from Chewing gum. Droped it.

I also started to collect stamps, but this passion died very quickly.

Books and memories.

Got around 500 of the former (in 3 years), and way to many bad ones in the latter.
