I decided to start a thread on collecting!! Everyone who collects (i consider collecting a hobby) come to this thread and tell about it =D
I will start.
I collect pez what inspired me to collect was a commercial I think... I have over 100 now started collecting in late 2006 and my most prized pez/pez sets are my "Disney's Mickey 80 year anniversary pez collection set.
I collect writing utensils: pens, pencils, markers.. I've got this pen that's about a foot long, another that's shaped as a snake. I used to have one that was pink with feathers and this little bobbing thing on top until my brother or sister, one of the two, got a hold of it and stretched out the spring that held the bobbing thing. I want to get another one. My mum bought me this pack of sharpies with a ****load of different colours, and I also have a few other random sharpies that I picked up from various places. I have this pretty gold-coloured pen that I jacked from my aunt. It's shiny. =3 I also have a bunch of American flag pencils, those are pretty. I wonder what else I have.. most of my collection's in Minneapolis. ._. I wonder what I have here.. *goes to look*
I used to collect many things, mostly files. (games, music, videos, etc) Anyway, Now I collect stuff to stuff my zune with.. but as it changes somewhat regularly, I guess it's not really collecting.. I used to collect electronic computer components, but I lost most of those. I lost a lot of what I used to collect when I lived at the old house in 2006.. moved out in 2007, and had to significantly decrease the things I've owned. I still collect files, and still keep MOST of my music unchanged in my zune, so that's almost 18GB of music collected on my zune.
hm.....its been awhile since ive collected anything....does the family guy dvd volumes count?got all of them.well my parents collect shot glasses from different cities and whatnot.ill post a pic once my mom sets them up on her new shot glass shelf she got for her birthday recently.
maps and mall directories. i really like those hand drawn/cartoony ones. but i think its just cool to see how places and things change over time like with rides at amusment parks

I like to collect both knives, and civil war objecs like swords and rifles from both the confedorate and union sides i started off collecting the civil war stuff with a bullet from the battle of the wilderness that was dug out of a tree. the knives thing came about when my grandfather gave me a set of old Knives made by various makes and when i looked them up they were fairly valubleso i kept buying more.

i got a pretty cool vintage computer collection... but whenever i tell someone about it they always are like "what's the point of having old computers, they're useless" and then i'm just like "CUZ THEY'RE COOL SO SHUT UP!"
What items do you collect?
