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...

I don't collect, I mean my nature is to hoard things in case they come in handy but I then get scared about becoming a little old lady with a house full of junk and periodically throw everything out...mmm perhaps this is another phobia...

More Junk Update.
Had to share this with someone.
In spite of the fact that my last project ended 4 weeks ago and I’m not spending money until I get some of these other irons from the fire , I did today.
Was driving down a residential street and see a yard sale which is where most of my 3-monkey collection has come from. I stop whenever I have the time and a few extra buck in my pocket. That wasn’t either count today . But I stopped anyway  . Now I find one monkey figurine in every 20 stops, but buy some other cleaver piece of junk I can’t figure out how I’ve gotten this old without  .
When I ask about the 3-monkeys I’m told “NO, only that thing with them stacked up”  .
So here’s No. 87 in my collection. LMAO

Zoid!
People are fondling your lamp. 
Maybe this is where you want to take your holiday vacation, Scotzoidman. Today they opened the Christmas Story house to hustle some buck$ out of somebody.
(click on the 'video' at the bottom of the SideBar in the story)
Here's a pic of my daughter reading about it on Thanksgiving day.

Collect 1/18 scale model cars. Pride is a model of the Mercedes used by the Emperor of Japan in pre-war years. Not the Mercedes, but attached a picture of one of the cars.
