Yu-Gi-Oh! I love the art on the cards so I collect them but I'm very bad at the actual game. The cards have been getting very expensive so I haven't been collecting any.

My collections include Root Beer glass bottles, for some reason I collect them. I also have a stash of old PC games that are in my computer armior. Any furniture that is black. I collect Star Gate SG1 seasons. I collect tiger posters, pictures and sometimes stuff tigers. I could go on and on but why?

Comic books - although they're more for reading than anything else. Current reads: She-Hulk (Dan Slott is one of the better working comic book writers today), Astonishing X-Men (so is Joss Whedon), Y: The Last Man (trade paperbacks only), Thunderbolts, All-Star Superman (Frank Quietly's art is top notch), Doc Frankenstein (Steve Skroce is a great artist and packs in tons of detail), Battle Royale (English translation). I don't really care much about monetary value because it's mostly a buyer's market...after the speculation boom of the 1990s, the only ones that are worth money are the ones that are truly rare.

Shot glasses - When friends and family go and visit foreign countries, I make a point of asking them to bring back a souvenir shot glass. I have them from all sorts of places that I've also visited, specifically Peurto Vallarta (Mexico), NYC (I have one with a plastic King Kong attached to it), Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Friends and family have brought me glasses from Greece, Australia, Hong Kong, Vegas, SF...

CDs and DVDs - I guess this isn't really that specific to most people, as I just buy the movies I like. Comedies, action, sci-fi, foreign/independent...some movies I can watch over and over again (Office Space, Fight Club, X2, Serenity, The Matrix), while others are really good, but I can only watch once because they make me feel like utter crap after watching them (Requiem for a Dream).

I've had lots and lots of collections over the years, but my big one now (and for the past six years) is my I Love Lucy collection. I collect memorabillia. My whole bedroom is filled. I have shelves from top to bottom. I'm very proud of it.

3. Good Alcohol. Right now this collection is fairly pathetic for two reasons: I'm poor and not quite 21. Once I can afford to, I'll start collecting good wines for a start. I also love a good single malt scotch or whiskey. I'd love to have the ingredients to make a large variety of mixed drinks. Right now the only drinks I have ingredients for are Manhattans (2 shots blended whiskey, 1 shot sweet vermouth, 3 drops bitters, 3 cherries, and a few spoonfulls of cherry juice), vodka and gin martinis, and gin and tonic.


Quite, it's a good thing I don't have any money or I'd spend it all on guns and booze, as soon as I turn 21 that is... Also, in the past I saved postcards my mother would sent me (She's a truck driver) I have about a thousand stored away somewhere, and I have a fairly big bag of foreign coinage: jordani dinars, british pounds, israeli shekels, chinese yuan, all from trips either I took or people I know took.

I also collect some coins, weird t-shirts, Friends of a Feather figurines and socks. My most recent collecting hobby is Japanese glass float collecting. That's what its called because the majority of the good floats came from Japan. However all the ones I have turned out to be from Korea. But two of them have an interesting history. I'm looking for a large clear glass float as used by the US Coast Guard for instruments if anyone would like to contribute to the collection. ;) Also a large cobalt blue Japanese float would be appreciated. Hmmm I really think I need to make some friends that live in coastal areas of Wash. or Oregon.
