start a collection

i’m definitely getting carried away with my new underground comix collection, i’ve started bidding on e-bay & i recently bought my first issues of Eightball, The Adventures of Fat Freddy’s Cat & The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!

So, for Christmas, my friend Oscar got me a Disney Robin Hood snowglobe. Its beautiful! The “snow” inside are shaped like coins and the stand is a carriage with all the characters in it.
Love ittt!

Wooooo!!!
Got a Little Mermaid snow globe for my birthday.
So I dont know if I’ve already said this, but my collection is Disney snowglobes.
Not just any old snowglobe, but Disney snowglobes!!

I bought myself an AMAZING lion king snow globe. It the scene where Simba is singing I just cant wait to be king and hes on top of the giraffes and all that.

I’m thinking of it being a rock collection. I could collect all different kinds of rocks.

I’d been talking to Dad about how I love to visit weird museums, but when challenged I couldn’t remember most of the ones I’d been too. I remembered the Banana museum in Tenerife. I remembered the Pasta museum in Rome. I mentioned that when I tried to visit the Penis museum in Reykjavik (on our last day there) it was closed.
I think I should really document these museum visits somewhere, and make sure I buy souvenirs.
So I started this collection today, when I visited the Northampton and Lamport Railway. I’ll make sure I blog them and tag them with ‘Museums’. I’ll keep a paper record in a notebook too.
And in doing so I’ve accomplished the second of the things to do in 2008

I don’t really know what to collect, because I want to collect something useful. Not sweet wrappers, string or something weird like that. Something that will help others, get money from, or just be useful and intresting to collect.

My collections always start off with a sudden urge to put a lot of one thing in the same place. Now I have a key chain collection that’s 12 key chains strong.

i collect books signed by authors, bouncy balls, and postcards.

I’ve been thinking about this goal off and on for years but wasn’t sure what I would want to collect. And today I realized I already have something started. Maybe that’s how it begins – you don’t start it intentionally, you just notice one day you are getting more and more of these whatevers and are drawn to them. I will see if I can get some good photos of what I have so far.
