Title: Collections
Post by: Harashi on November 18, 2006, 09:12:47 PM
Do you collect anything? If so please tell, anyhow I personally collect weapons, blades mostly. Just starting actually, I've got a recurve bow, compund, Bowie knife, Machete, Folding knives, and a swiss army knife. I plan on saving up for a decent hunting rifle and maybe a locked blade Buck knife. If this belongs in chat plz change it.

I collect pens that have ran out of ink.  Once one of my pens stop writing, I take it apart as much as I can and keep a hold on the long cylindrical part of it and throw the rest away.  The last time I counted, I had around twenty or so.

That's pretty weird, but nothing wrong with that, right? I just never heard of anything like that before.
ANYHOO, I like to collect Gamecube Zelda games. Pretty obvious, don'tcha think?

I collect knowledge! No, I don't really.
I guess I don't really "collect" anything. I mean I have stuff, but I don't have any collections.

If you take into account the fact that I'm a writer, does it still seem pretty weird? :D

Dang... I'm having a flashback b/c of what Hino just said...

Anyway, I collect hordes of classical music. I swear, I have probably over two hundred CD's by now.

I collect:
Knives.
Comics (mainly those from France (translated of course), Belgium and the Netherlands.) If people say comics are for dumb people, or are inferior to books, they can get me really pissed off. It proves they know absolutely nothing about comics.
Games (especially the beauties from the late '90s). I was so happy when a few weeks ago I got my hands on Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption.
Movies/Series that I love. Whether animation or real, I don't care. As long as the story intrigues me or has nostalgic value.
Music, whatever I like.
Old toys

btw., I'm a passive collector. Meaning that I don't look for anything most of the time, but get what I happen to come across.

I think I'm a video game collector, too. I collect (obviously) Zelda games, R&C games, and KH games. There may be others, but I'm not too sure.

I never collected Yugioh cards, but i decided to play with a friends deck once. I had watched the TV show so much, that I learned a lot about playing. This kid had 13 titles, or so he says, and he let me create a deck, of which consited of Sword monsters, and traps. We played, and I put up a good fight. He used all of his good cards in the beginning, destroying most of mine. He saved his best few cards for last, which he kept in his hand.

He pulled out this freaking tough monster. I placed a Hane hane face down. He attacked it. It's flip effect sent his monster back to his hand. Then i used card destruction, and finished him off. My very first time playing too! :P He cried, and i felt bad. hre was only like 11. Pretty swift, pretty swift :)

Ah, I used to collect Pokemon cards long long ago, I was freaking protective of them, people chased me around for like a week once because I got a Charizard :D  But I would trade it for no one!

I guess I'm a bit of a magazine junkie, stuff like Sugar, Bliss and cosmoGirl, I know its a load of drabble but I like them anyway. With a good cup of tea, it is tres relaxing...

You would beleive me, but I once had three Charizards. One of them went through the washer, and one got stolen. I still have one, but it's slightly wrinkled. I also have this one card called Shining Noctowl (http://pokemon.tcgplayer.com/tcg/scans/destiny/shiningnoctowl.jpg) and it was three stars. If you look hard enough you can see them at the bottom. This isnt my actual card, I found the image on Google.

Title: Re:Collections
Post by: Zelda Veteran on November 29, 2006, 03:49:32 PM
The first one I got in a pack. The other two, i got from my friend. His Uncle owned a card shop, and he had like an entire deck of Charizards, Mews, and Mewtwos. He gave me two of each card he got :)
