My Collection.

Aside from the usual junk, I like to collect things. Right now, my main focus (not that I'm giving any of them much focus at all) is the Quarters. I have forty-eight of them. All I need left is Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska is out already, but I have been most unfortunate to miss it. Hawaii comes out in November I believe and I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that one too.

I also collect stamps. Its nothing fancy. They've all been used and are now worthless, but I think it's cool. Since I love letters and have a few correspondence I thought the collection seemed practical. No effort on my part really, I just take the stamp off and tape it to the page. I have five whole pages of stamps, each crammed like a puzzle piece on the page. Oh! In case you ever decided to collect stamps I have a bit of advice. If there's a stamp you like but it's unmercifully stuck on the envelope what you do is tear it off -envelope and all -and soak it in warm water. After that the paper should come right off and leave the stamp a little damp. It only takes a minute to dry. Anyway, just in case you were curious.

After my stamps and quarters I have another collection. This one is my favorite of the three, probably just because it looks cooler and means a little more on my part. I collect movie tickets. (Just of movies that I've seen; I guess I should just say that I merely save my movie tickets. It's not like I go digging through the trash to find whatever looks cool.) My oldest ticket is from six years ago. Harry Potter and the Camber of Secrets. My collection consists of fifty-seven tickets; from Finding Nemo to Brother Bear and then to my most recent Journey to the Center of the Earth. (I already have a spot reserved for Twilight!) I guess that means that through the last six years I've only seen fifty seven movies in the theater. I guess that's about ten movies a year. It seems like a lot... But most of my tickets are from '06 mostly because my brother worked at the theater and I worked across the street from it. He got me in to a couple of screenings and then he had a free-pass person for one guest every movie. Needless to say I was never bored when I had to wait hours for my brother to get off work and dive me home. I love going to the movies!
