I collect pictures from music/movie magazines. I'll cut out my favorite pictures, then I'll sticky tack them to the wall by my bed. The wall is almost all covered with pictures. Been working on it for a year.

sundae sweet~~ i used to do that in high school also! <3 i had so many pictures of christina ricci it isn't funny. i don't know what happened to those.
i also had a wall purely dedicated to flyers from raves i had gone to! ^^

Sheep <3
and I was a pretty enthusiastic Polly Pocket collector, but I haven't added anything recently.
I started a small collection of Littlest Pet Shop pets, because they're just so cute!

sheep are cute! ^^
i try to collect this but it's hard! <3
i used to do the polly pocket thing too but that was ages ago!

I've loved sheep since I got a huge stuffed one for $3 at a thrift store. n_n
My Polly stuff is in a huge box under my bed now. xD I take it out every so often just to look at. :3
I would LOVE to collect pullip dolls, but they are just so expensive.

what are pullip dolls?!

thevalleyofthedolls.com used to have some but they've disappeared. D:
I don't know what to call them other than Japanese fashion dolls. I don't think they make them anymore so they're at least $70.
like this

oooh those are neat..
i think they're called japanese ball jointed dolls..
there is a fan page somewhere around menewsha dedicated to them.
personally, some of the more life like ones creep me out!
/sweat

I fell in love with them when I saw the flickr group's pictures. I want a few to make clothes for.
Some of them have a string you can pull to change their eye color.
Some of them have oddly shaped heads and those creep me out. xD

I'm a compulsive collector...I collect so many things.

Garment Tags (for art projects)
Coins
Socks
Shoes
Clothes (I collect more than I wear)
Video Games
Random Junk I Attach Value To
Porcelain Dolls (not anymore, but I have a big collection)
Beanie Babies (I don't collect these anymore either)
Barbies (another old collection)
Pokemon/Magic/Sailor Moon Cards (very old collections)
Stuffed Animals
Magazine Pages (for art projects)
Movie Tickets
Concert Tickets
Plane Tickets
Pictures
Fliers
Gift Bags
Cardboard Boxes (I might need them at some point...?)
Random Containers (to put random things in)
Dishes (mostly plates and cups)

That's not everything...but I'll stop there. I have a problem.

I collect glass bottles. It's really different and thats why I do it. I like to be different.

@mau5ie -- I don't really trust politics. I'm a Libertarian, so that should really say something about that. XD
You know, I don't know why so many people are against it. Probably because so many conservatives support it, and they seem to be the world's enemy in the mind of the media and those who drown in it. -_- I'm not liberal OR conservative, so this whole back-and-forth is... well, it was funny at first. Now it's just annoying.

As requested, a photo of my gum wrapper chain. C:

You can't properly see how long it is in that picture, but I couldn't find a real camera, and twirling it up was the only way I could come up with to get the whole thing in a tiny cell phone photo. But I measured it, and it's 25 feet 8 inches long. o:

@because -- Holy CRAP, that's big! XD

@PhantomLolita, holy shizz that's a lot of stuff! ^^
and a lot of stuff on your list i didn't even think to mention in my first post.
for instance, concert tickets. d'oh!
where do you go to buy your dishes?
i have a nice collection of mugs as well! XD

@angel4party,
you don't find many people that do that anymore.
my mom used to and she has quite a lot of stuff.
it's mostly blue bottles though!

@Kid Disaster, i don't know what to consider myself. lol.

@because - well crap! that's massive! XD

@lightkanna ~ well i am very sorry for you then! :P

mmm food! :drool:
i luff foodies!
have any pictures of the crosses?
i used to collect them too! i have about fifteen in various sizes.

@everybody: And I still have several more feet of gum wrappers. C:

I collect music, band t-shirts, and journals

@mau -- My parents are... pretty political. XD I probably wouldn't follow anything if it weren't for them. Hell, I probably wouldn't know what a Libertarian /is/.

@because~ try making a painting.. but instead of paint.. use the wrappers!? that would be neat. you should be able to see photos of what i'm talking about if you do a google image search of gum wrapper art!

@perpetual_migraine~ band tshirts :drool:
that is something dangerous to me. lol..

@kid~ could you explain to me what it is? :oops:

I'm collecting key chains, like asian cute key chains and the asian pencils *o*
Yes, I know it's weird, but their SO CUTE!
I can't help myself, whenever I go back to Japan, I buy like $100 of keychains and pencils, lol.

@icandiee - those sound cuute!
how are you able to go to japan so often?!
and take me pleaase? <3
