over the years i've started many collections, almost to the point of collecting collections... i now collect around 20 ongoing manga, old and new anime, M.U.S.C.L.E. men figures, transformers, figure contruction kits (gundam, zoids, bionicle, etc.), LEGO, video games (xbox, xbox360, snes, nes, ps, ps2, genesis, gamegear, gameboy/advance/ds, neo geo pocket, psp...), magazines (art, astronomy, architechture, design, science, anime/manga/cosplay, video games, collectables, etc.), and i guess you could say collect music in general. i also seem to collect health problems, so i collect disabilty as well. =P i used to collect comics, too, mostly marvel, but it got way too expensive to continue, even more so when i realized my interests kept branching into new books... lastly, i collect anything i think i can use for artwork, or sculpture, as i am not able to afford many supplies, so i take what i can get (although many of the things i find, for certain styles, come from discared electronics, and machines, so buying them isn't really too expensive, when they aren't just being given away). i used to collect electronic equipment for composing music, but i haven't had the money to keep up for years. i suppose i have many interests, but i have to be thankful that my collecting habits aren't as big as my passion for creative expression, or i would be in debt i couldn't escape from. =] i noticed a lot of you mentioned differnt spirits- the only one i collected, until it was destoyed by my friends and i, was absinthe. any of you guys enjoy this drink? i know it can be a little difficult to obtain the finer quality selections, but i'd love to know if any of you have favorites... it is quite the unusual drink, and i'm always open to recommendations. for that matter, i'm intersted to hear if any of you share any of my collecting choices, and if so, what you prefer, or suggest in those areas (both for favorites, and for getting better deals, and such).
