I used to collect anecdotes.

I collect model elephants. Any sort of little ornamental elephant or even anything with an elephant on it. I like elephants. I also, from my younger years, have a stiffling collection of Beatles memorabilia.

That is odd, I've never met anyone else who collects them. It started because a friend brough me back a few from thailand and I just continued. I've about 100 or so now.

Back in the states I have a huge collection of old photographs of people I don't know. I always wondered why people would sell things like these at garage sales. It's always the first thing I look for at odd markets and such. Here I seem to be developing a collection of sheep although I haven't purchased any of them.

I remember when I was about 9 or so that we had a collectible day in school. All these people came in and I could sign up for the topic I was interested in and learn more about collecting. I was a bit of a tomboy and didn't fancy stickers, tea cups or dolls, etc...so I signed up for baseball cards. Mind you, I've never liked baseball. I thought about coins (since my dad is a huge collector) but it was all the nerdy boys. So I stuck with baseball and got to hang with all the fun boys and trade them cards for the gum that came in the pack for the rest of the year. Smart move on my part, sugar FTW!

I noticed those photos in Antique shops over there. There's something really sad about finding reams of old photos of long dead people no-one gives a fuck about any longer.

Some people sell shoe boxes filled at garage sales after cleaning out their house. In one of my apartments in college the whole place was filled with framed photos of strangers. Tintypes and Daguerreotypes I could see why people would sell (because they are worth money) but regular photos from the 20's onward I just don't get.

A good friend of mine also collects elephants and elephant related things. Books are still my main vice.

My aunt collects elephants as well.

Also, I've been accumulating broken umbrellas for the last while, not really sure why.
