My CollectionDo you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?
I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.
What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

umbrellasi have an impressive collection of novelty childrens umbrellas, the best are the animal ones with bits sticking out, i have a frog with sticking up eyes and a zebra with sticking out ears, and a goldfish with fins and a tail (i used to have a tortoise with a head and tail sticking out but that got run over by a bus - sniffle) i also have an assaltment of generally brightly coloured ones with pictures of bunnies and dinosaurs and the like on. i do frequently get mocked for this habit, although as a 22 yr old girl i can just about get away with it most of the time...
one occasion i was about to come home from uni when i noticed it was pissing it down - ah lucky i brought that new brolly my sister gave me i thought - but alas when i opened it i realised it must have been aimed at particularly small children, as it was barely big enough to cover most of my head
nonetheless i persevered, walking past the row of people giving out flyers in front of uni, literally all of whom felt the need to take the piss :( and i got utterly soaked anyway
another time was when my family and then boyf came up to visit on a rainy day and we all needed to walk somewhere, impressively i managed to lend all five of them a brolly, but the sight of a trail of 6 novelty umbrellas going down the highstreet was a little too much for some of the locals.....
