I collect paper. Yeah yeah, I know, we all accumulate the stuff, but I'm talking about nice paper. Stationery, handmade paper, silk paper, rice paper, papyrus, cork paper, foil paper, you name it. I have it all in an expanding file that I have to sit on to close. I actually started a business making handmade greeting cards when I was in high school just as an excuse to buy more paper, but though the business is long since defunct I still keep buying paper...
I also collect Bach. Not just any Bach either, though it's all good; I collect the Goldberg Variations. I have 14 recordings of them on CD, another 6 on casette, and another 8 or 9 on vinyl (don't have a functioning record player anymore though
)... The funny thing is, I know all the music intimately, but I can't hum more than the first few bars of the aria or aria da capo, and only a couple of bars of two or three of the other variations, unless I'm actually listening at the time. Go figure. Anyway, I love the richness and subtlety of the music...
For some reason people seem to think I collect rabbits. I have never ever bought a stuffed rabbit, but I have about 30; people spontaneously give them to me without knowing about the rest of the collection --- apparently I'm just a funny bunny. Or something like that.
*looking around the room*
Oh. Obviously I also collect dust bunnies. I didn't include those in my bunny count, but I think I'm going to open a breeding colony for them. Not that rabbits of any variety need help breeding...
