I'm normally not the most organized or persistant collector, but I've managed to collect:

  • Muppet- and Fraggle-related things (namely, toys and videos, but I found a FR book)
  • manga (not nearly as much as real fanatics, but I got a good start for a collection that's likely to expand; also, I don't normally collect "big-name" manga (Naruto, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, etc.) unless if I'm willing to go through more than, say, three volumes, so finding any volume past three or four for what I read is rather difficult at times)
  • old notebooks I drew in (I know this probably wouldn't be considered an actual collection, but I'm still proud of it)
  • Zatch Bell screenshots (on my PC only; probably not a real collection, either)
  • old Pokemon and Zatch Bell cards (I don't have any of the newer sets, and ZB is, according to my assumptions from not finding them on shelves, discontinued)
  • video clips from the Japan-only Saru Getchu (Ape Escape) anime (again, not a real collection and on my computer only, but it's almost impossible to find episodes of the show outside of Japan and Youtube, so I'm very proud of having them (even though I don't understand what they're saying, besides from character names and the occasional word))
  • marionettes (I only have five so far, but I'm willing to expand it... when I can afford to buy more)

I had a huge collection of mini smurf figurines back in the day. In the late 80's I turned almost every single one of them into beaded necklaces. meh, times where different then. At least that's the story I'm sticking to. I only have 3 left. Vanity Smurf, Cowboy Smurf & Hefty Smurf, still strung up with beads. I gave the rest away to friends.
Aww man! I used to love pulling, ripping, biting, and taking the head's off things! My mom Say's the reason I bite down of stuff because I lack Iron.

You know, while I'm thinking about it, I like chewing things. And biting things. Like, if I'm not chomping on gum, I'm chewing something I shouldnt be chewing. My favorite hting to chew are towels. I also chew drinking straws, that little plastic part on the back of whatever the things that go behind your ears are called on glasses, nerf footballs, stuff made of hard rubber (my favorite are chewing the tails off those rubber snakes from the dollar store), and plasic (I will gnaw on the tops of plastic bottles)

Believe it or not, I actually took a rawhide bone and started chewing it. It...didnt really have a taste. It tasted kinda like paper, only...with a slight hint of communion wafer

and those peanut butter dog treats do not taste like peanut butter. They just taste like dough, with maybe a slight trace of peanut butter.

And here is where you people are going to freak. Sometimes if I cut my lip, I just suck on it until it stops bleeding. Oddly, my blood tastes kinda salty, almost like that taste metal has, like on a coat zipper.sounds gross, but...

Ok, I'm going to shut up now
