I'm trying to start a collection of Chinese propaganda posters.

Dust

i collect swords and concert/other music posters.

Good books. I have shelves upon shelves of them.

-- Fantasy greeting cards. (Leanin' Tree and all it's affiliates publish beautiful cards which I collect.)
-- Unicorn figurines (I have a *thing* for unicorns.)
-- Shiny pennies.

Hardcover Asimov science fiction books.

Anime, Manga and comics.

Old radio programs and serial films.

I collect TV guides. I just like to read the "Cheers and Jeers" and the horoscope.

I collect quotes, books, music, and a string of men whose hearts I've broken (Kidding!)

mp3s, religious books, artifacts, lead minitures hand painted by me, and umm, belly button lint.

Band Clothing....... Hardly counts but I thought I would still say it.

Active: Nut=Crackers(one every Christmas) the silly things actually gain value fast.
Books.
Coins.
Art from other countries.
Something special to a country I visit.
Scotch.
Masks (ie Venitian)

Collections no longer actively pursued:
Stamps
Comic Books
Baseball cards
Wine

Band Clothing....... Hardly counts but I thought I would still say it.

yeah, i have alot of those too... i like obscure bands. what kind of bands do you have?

Anything with cats on it.
Teapots and teacups.
Books, especially sci-fi, fantasy, political and history.
I also seem to be collecting live cats. I have eight now.
Polyhedral dice, because my cats keep losing them and I buy more.
Old silverware.
Tiny boxes.
Okay, I'm a packrat.

Older books, Vinyl records, and I have an impressive collection of baseball cards, I'd like to be able to say old cars - but I just seem to sell them as i get them. :(

otherwise... hot girls phone numbers... does that count? :confused:

Just books. Lots of books.
And I guess bookcases by inference.

Magic:The Gathering cards
DnD books
Foriegn currency
CDs
Sci-Fi

I'm trying to start a collection of Chinese propaganda posters.
i had some cool russian ones in the 80s.

one was an olive branch turning into a fighter jet that said, "the olive branch of peace american style"

one had a drawing of the contras and said, "bought and paid for by the CIA"

and the third had a picture of lenin striding purposefully forward and said, "ours is the one true path".

i think they all got lost or destroyed or given away.

Oooh, I am the packrat queen. Let's see...

Active collections: My Little Ponies
Sylvanian Familes
Lego Castles
Discworld books
A Series Of Unfortunate Events books
Artemis Fowl books
Bratz dolls (okok, so really I just keep getting them as gag gifts. But I have 9 now, and that should count as a collection).

Past collections:
'Bugs' magazines
'National Geographic' magazines
'The Little Mermaid' magazines
'The Lion King' magazines
'Art Magic' magazines
'<some-random-fantasy-set-I-can't-remember-the-name-of>' magazines
...
Dolphin stuff (posters, books, calenders, figurines, etc)
Stuffed toys
Magic: The Gathering cards
'Animorph' book series
'Goosebumps' book series
Christian Reese Lasson jigsaw puzzles (mmm1000piecegoodness)
A whole bunch of other random crap I'm forgetting.

What makes it even more fun is I still own almost 80% of that old junk. The magazines alone cause the wooden floor in the spare room to sag slightly. We should really get around to redistributing their weight around.

Discworld books

ahh terry prachet. the discworld books are classics.

'Bugs' magazines

Were those the ones where you got a neat glow-in-the-dark insect thing to assemble?


'Animorph' book series
'Goosebumps' book series

Haha, I've still got a shelf full of those. I got to about book 20 of both then grew out of them. Aaah... to be 10 again.

I seem to collect old computer parts, although I didn't realise it until I found myself using an old hard drive as a doorstop. I just can't throw anything away.

Were those the ones where you got a neat glow-in-the-dark insect thing to assemble?

Yes. Yes they were. I still have the tarantula somewhere. Missing a few legs I think...

At least I know I'm not the only person who ever heard of those things.

Haha, I've still got a shelf full of those. I got to about book 20 of both then grew out of them. Aaah... to be 10 again.

I've actually caught myself rereading them occasionally... I can't decide if I'm regressing further into childhood by doing so or if I should have expected it...

I can beat that - the last doorstop I had was an old (plastic) Flinstones popcorn box. It's probably over 10 years old. And it was full of old, non-working pens. At least an old hard drive would look sort of amusing as a doorstop.

Active collections: My Little Ponies

Speaking of which, I still have something for you....

Yes. Yes they were. I still have the tarantula somewhere. Missing a few legs I think...

At least I know I'm not the only person who ever heard of those things.

Are they the ones that had those cool 3D glasses things with red and green cellophane on them as well? I think I have some too.

Yeah, sounds like the ones.

Wow, I had no idea other people knew about those things.

No one I know in person ever has any idea what I mean. Stupid sucky real life people.

Speaking of which, I still have something for you....
Squeee! And also *bounces*. And also 'eeeeee-uber-rare-ponies'!

See, this alone should allay any fears you have of me ignoring you on purpose. If I were going to do something that stupid, surely I'd have got the precious, precious ponies first.

Yeah, sounds like the ones.

Wow, I had no idea other people knew about those things.

No one I know in person ever has any idea what I mean. Stupid sucky real life people.

Heh, I remember them. Do you remember those dinosaur magazines that came with wooden skeletons? You'd get a part each week. Those ruled as well :D

...i'm so tempted to look through my cupboard, but no. Just no. :eek:

They've been sitting over by my bookcase for a couple months now. Every time someone comes over, I have to explain why I have My Little Ponies....

...i'm so tempted to look through my cupboard, but no. Just no. :eek:

I think I missed them by a couple of years. I remember my dad really wanting to get me something to do with assembled wooden dinosaurs. But apparently my mum didn't think I'd like them.

Mutter. And Grumble.

They've been sitting over by my bookcase for a couple months now. Every time someone comes over, I have to explain why I have My Little Ponies....

And the answer is, of course, 'a crazy girl made me do it'.

And the answer is, of course, 'a crazy girl made me do it'.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how many people don't believe that.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how many people don't believe that.

None? Is the answer none? The answer's none, isn't it?

I think I missed them by a couple of years. I remember my dad really wanting to get me something to do with assembled wooden dinosaurs. But apparently my mum didn't think I'd like them.

Mutter. And Grumble.

I think they were around the same time as the bugs magazines. Maybe a little bit before. I was about 8 when I got them, I think.

None? Is the answer none? The answer's none, isn't it?

Well, when I say, "They're for this girl", the usual response is a rolling of the eyes and a "Oh, suuuuuuuuuuure."

I think they were around the same time as the bugs magazines. Maybe a little bit before. I was about 8 when I got them, I think.

Oh, well, in that case it would have been more "one $3 magazine is enough".

Keeping in mind that was like 10 years ago, and that $3 would be more like 7 now, it was really pretty fair.

Well, when I say, "They're for this girl", the usual response is a rolling of the eyes and a "Oh, suuuuuuuuuuure."

Well, obviously. Word it exactly as 'a crazy internet girl made me get them' and I bet people will believe you.

Oh, well, in that case it would have been more "one $3 magazine is enough".

Keeping in mind that was like 10 years ago, and that $3 would be more like 7 now, it was really pretty fair.

Yeah. I got that too :(

Damn my half assembled T-Rex pelvis :mad:

Yes. Yes they were. I still have the tarantula somewhere. Missing a few legs I think...

At least I know I'm not the only person who ever heard of those things.

Oh wow, I thought I was the only one. I've still got the tarantula and half the scorpion. The shop I used to get them from closed down before I finished the scorpion. *sob*



I've actually caught myself rereading them occasionally... I can't decide if I'm regressing further into childhood by doing so or if I should have expected it...
Can't say I've done that. Mine just sit on the shelf gathering dust and being pecked to bits by my cockatiel.

Wow, that wins for being totally random.

I think they were around the same time as the bugs magazines. Maybe a little bit before. I was about 8 when I got them, I think.

I think they predated the bugs magazines by a few years. My older brother used to collect them. Still has a few hanging from the ceiling of his bedroom. (26 in 3 days, still lives at home and has wooden dinosaurs hanging from his ceiling...)

Yeah, now I think about it, that would be right. Gah, damn my useless childhood memory.

(And cool, you have a cockatiel that eats random things too? Mine recently ate half a handtowel :p)

(And cool, you have a cockatiel that eats random things too? Mine recently ate half a handtowel :p)

Yep, it's a very silly little Aussie thing that will eat anything it can get hold of. Even the cats are afraid of it now.

Oh wow, I thought I was the only one. I've still got the tarantula and half the scorpion. The shop I used to get them from closed down before I finished the scorpion. *sob*

Awww. Well, my parents stopped me collecting at issue 49. There were like, 52 issues altogether. So much annoyance. Stupid punishments.

Can't say I've done that. Mine just sit on the shelf gathering dust and being pecked to bits by my cockatiel.

You obviously need to donate them to me. My mum gave most of my Goosebumps books away, and I've been pining for good crappy horror stories with silly endings. I could trade you for... um... some books on Atlantis, which are currently collecting dust on my shelves. Or 'A New Kind of Science', which I can't read because it's too damn big. It's like trying to hold up a couple of bricks.

... Plus I get distracted by all the pretty cellular automaton pictures.

Wow, that wins for being totally random.

Yay! What do I win, what do I win?

Yep, it's a very silly little Aussie thing that will eat anything it can get hold of. Even the cats are afraid of it now.

Hehe. They're great. Mine is actually transsexual. I named it Wally...that didn't really fit when she laid an egg several years after I got her, but the name stuck anyway. So I have a psychotic transsexual bird :D

My mum gave most of my Goosebumps books away, and I've been pining for good crappy horror stories with silly endings.

Ooh! I have heaps of those too.

Camel Cash

SHAED!!! :fluffle:

Awww. Well, my parents stopped me collecting at issue 49. There were like, 52 issues altogether. So much annoyance. Stupid punishments.

Aah well, maybe someone will be selling their collection on eBay.

There all yours if:

You don't mind books that have been half-eaten by a bird
You can find a way to get them




Yay! What do I win, what do I win?

Uh... what do you want?

SHAED!!! :fluffle:
You collect shaed and fluffles?

SHAED!!! :fluffle:

*pounces on*
:fluffle:

^.^

*pounces on*
:fluffle:

^.^
*squeals* no pouncing! i'm in pain :(

You collect shaed and fluffles?
yes

yes
Me too! But I give fluffles away loads of times, so my collection isn't that big. Do you have the yellow one?

Hehe. They're great. Mine is actually transsexual. I named it Wally...that didn't really fit when she laid an egg several years after I got her, but the name stuck anyway. So I have a psychotic transsexual bird :D

This is why I gave up naming my animals. When my first cockatiel 'Katie' shed her feathers and developed male plumage, I realised that things were going to get tricky. Now I have 16 cockatiels all named 'Bird'. Much less confusing.

Mother: "Bird needs its claws trimmed."
Me: "Which bird?"
Mother: "The grey one."
Me: "...there are 11 grey ones."
Mother: "No, the all-grey one."
Me: "Oh, the whiteface?"
Mother: "No, the grey one!"

Fun.

Me too! But I give fluffles away loads of times, so my collection isn't that big. Do you have the yellow one?no, I'm still waiting for that one

Aah well, maybe someone will be selling their collection on eBay.

But... I only need 3 issues... and... eBay is evil. In the bad, money stealing, bad dealers way, not the good, English way.

There all yours if:

You don't mind books that have been half-eaten by a bird

Hmmmm... 'half eaten' you say? That's still probably better than the non-existant collection I have currently...
*notices the second point*
Damnit. Blasted Myrth teasing me. It's not fair I tell you!

Uh... what do you want?

Ooooh. You really shouldn't let me choose. Or I'll pick something uttery silly like 'you to deliver those half-eaten books to me in person' or 'more photos of you in the player pic thread' or '28 bars of solid gold'. And then I'll be sad when you say no/point and laugh.

I know some guys who have 4 cats and a dog, but they named the dog "Cat" so he wouldn't be alone :confused:

no, I'm still waiting for that one

I have a spare

See, that's why cats are just the best. No one ever has silly conversations like that about cats. Instead the conversations are more like:

Me: "Argh! The cat tried to smother me in my sleep!"
Random parent: "Oh well, you woke up in time, didn't you?"
Me: "But he was sleeping ON MY FACE!"
Parent: "It's 1am. Just go back to sleep"
Me: *huddles in terror for the rest of the night/morning*

*squeals* no pouncing! i'm in pain :(

Awwwww! *fawns over Tink*
What's wrong? Not sick again?

Heheheh. Maybe I could name my next psycho bird a gender-neutral name. Something along the lines of "Hitchcock", in a nod to the movie "The Birds", but that sounds a little dirty. It would be funny if I could get it to say its own name to impress or surprise my friends. "What did that bird just call me?" etc.

Awwwww! *fawns over Tink*

:(no, I hurt my hip skiing

no, I'm still waiting for that one

Here you go. :fluffle:

But... I only need 3 issues... and... eBay is evil. In the bad, money stealing, bad dealers way, not the good, English way.

That's never happened to me and i've bought a few things off ebay. Then again, I haven't been struck by lightning either but I know someone who has.

I know some guys who have 4 cats and a dog, but they named the dog "Cat" so he wouldn't be alone :confused:

I know... I indulged there once and bought an old Soviet medal. Curse me for furthering capitalism to buy something representing the fight against it...



Hmmmm... 'half eaten' you say? That's still probably better than the non-existant collection I have currently...
*notices the second point*
Damnit. Blasted Myrth teasing me. It's not fair I tell you!

Well, I could take pictures of them. That's almost like having them. Except not.
And my apologies for spelling 'They're' as 'there'. It's too early in the morning for my brain to work. Even if I am supposed to be paying attention to this computing lecture instead of posting here. And I have an English Lit. one in 10 minutes. Le sigh.

Perhaps less pointing and laughing and more topping up your caffeine. You're clearly going delirious if you'd want any but the last of those things.

no, I hurt my hip skiing

Awww. *gets Tink a fluffy kitten to comfort her* You dafty. That's what happens when you do anything more active than sitting online talking to people.

I should know, I managed to pull a leg muscle on my first day of school.
...
What? There's a lot of stair-climbing involved, ok?
...
I am NOT unfit! Rarg!
/paranoia.

I know... I indulged there once and bought an old Soviet medal. Curse me for furthering capitalism to buy something representing the fight against it...

Well, as long as you don't have a Che shirt.

Here you go. :fluffle:


yay! now i got two!

Lord no. I do have an original Cuban propaganda poster with Che on it though. That was before it was cool to have Che stuff.

Well, I have to remain convinced ebay is evil. Otherwise I'll end up blowing hundreds of dollars on the old 80s My Little Ponies I used to want as a child.

I just want them so much. Damn Hasbro and their 'there are countries outside of America that might want our products? Don't be silly' attitude. Damn them to hell. *mutters*

Well, I could be amused by the half-eaten-ness. But I sense that offer was rather less than serious (oooh, am I on the ball today or what?).

And no apologies needed. I'm half dead from school, and have to run most of my posts through spellcheck.net before they resemble anything like English, so I think I can forgive minor 'they're' and 'there' confusion. And at least Literature tends to be a fluffy subject. Unless that's just in highschool...

Perhaps less pointing and laughing and more topping up your caffeine. You're clearly going delirious if you'd want any but the last of those things.

Lies! Evil, evil, evil lies!

Although caffeine is the best, so I wouldn't exactly resist being given more. I could use it to not sleep at all tonight so I could actually try and do some homework tonight. Or stay up playing Morrowind. Whatever.

I just want them so much. Damn Hasbro and their 'there are countries outside of America that might want our products? Don't be silly' attitude. Damn them to hell. *mutters*

Silly Shaed. There aren't any countries outside America. Silly, silly Shaed.

Lord no. I do have an original Cuban propaganda poster with Che on it though. That was before it was cool to have Che stuff.

Heh, good :D

Though I am in the process of looking for one of those hats that Fidel Castro wears, but that's different. :)

But... then where do English accents come from?

London is really a section of Philadelphia. Think about it? How much of London have you ever actually seen? In movies, you only see a tiny portion of it. They just film those scenes in Philadelphia.

Joke? That's what they want you to think!

Too many things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1; Stamps from around the world 1000's - wanna trade? TG me.
2; Currency from around the globe lots - see above
3; Movie posters- from when I managed a pair of theaters.
4; books - personally 500+ my son (19 months old) 90-100+
5; Movies 200 VHS only 50 DVD - from when I was with a movie packing warehouse.
6; pins - need to have some meaning to me. so only about 25
7; Valuable friends - the most valuable of all and no that's not me being sappy. I honestly believe that your life has no meaning without close personal and valuable friends.
8; Edged weapons of almost every kind!

No, you have it all wrong! Sheesh, what do they teach you in school over there.

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have met some of those yanks! I actually had an arguement with an idiot from Idaho (shares the border with us) who thought that we all lived in igloos, had no electricity and rented our vehicles at the border because we all drive dog sleds.

*huggles* there is an England with a London (i saw it on Eastenders), just don't tell the silly Americans, they're too stupid to understand, they'll just get confused and scared

*huggles*
yay! ^.^
*sticks tongue out at S'd*

And this 'Eastenders' thing sounds fascinating. People talk about it in the same tone of voice as people here talk about the Bill. Well, ok, that's only true if 'people' = 'me, my mum, and the only other person we know who watches The Bill'. Nonetheless I'm intrigued. Probably due to insanity though.

And Kanabia, that is just the best map ever. I'm stealing that and making it into a t-shirt.

I stole it from a post of Keruvalia's :D

Yeah and there is a London in Ontario Canada too.

is the Bill over there the same as the Bill over here?

is the Bill over there the same as the Bill over here?

Yes, we do actually get British TV shows over here :p

Yay for Red Dwarf!

is the Bill over there the same as the Bill over here?

Yeah... we're probably a bunch of months behind you guys though. We just had the 'Ken's son thinking he'd killed a prostitute but it actually being a heart problem' and the 'creepy guy blackmailing Kerry while she's an utter moron and doesn't stop him' storylines.*

...

It's so utterly pathetic that we still watch it. We like to think we're just waiting for all the Old Bill characters to leave... I'll probably keep watching even after that though, because it's so fun hoping that the characters I hate (almost all of them) will die (which they all do eventually - usually in amusingly over-melodramatic ways)**

*'we' here = Australia
**'we' here = me and my mother.

Yes, we do actually get British TV shows over here :p

Yay for Red Dwarf!
i love the Bill!

and Red Dwarf is awesome! they still havn't started making the film though! grrrrrrrrr

and Red Dwarf is awesome! they still havn't started making the film though! grrrrrrrrr

It's actually meant to be filmed in my city. I should apply to be an extra :D

Hee, how can anyone 'love' the Bill? It's so shockingly lacking in crime.

And even when there IS crime, the whole focus is on the way it affects character's personal lives. It's really, really sillay.

It's actually meant to be filmed in my city. I should apply to be an extra :D
you should! that would be sooooooooo awesome!

You should. Then you could be like, "Hey, that's me! Random dude #59" and then ladies will be like, "Oh my god, [insert your name here], that's so sexy. Take me now!"

Totally.

you should! that would be sooooooooo awesome!

Yeah!! I'd be like a robot or shapeshifting-sausage monster or something :D

I think i'd probably have to fly over there and hunt you down!

but its crappiness is what makes it so great!

I think I just like bouncing up and down on the bed swearing at all the stupid people. Like Kerry.

"Oh, alright. Feel free to blackmail me into stopping someone else from blackmailing some random woman. Because there's no hypocrisy there. No, not at all". Not to mention the DISTINCT LACK of her calling him out on the fact that he used the video to blackmail her into doing something else he could use to blackmail her with, and then revealing that the damn thing was blank anyway. And instead of tearing him a new one for being a creepy jerk, she burst into tears and thanked him for, essentially, taking complete advantage of her moron...inity...ity.

And dear lord, the day I write a whole paragraph about The Bill is the day I go and get more caffeine to counter-act the insanity.

Dude, it totally works. Next time you watch the Matrix, check out the scene where Keanu Reeves is out on the window ledge and he's crying like a little bitch. When he drops the phone, you can see down. I'm totally down there. I was like, "Hey, ladies, see that little red speck. That's me." and they were like, "Oh my god Matthew!" Like 10 of them took off their clothes right there.

i really don't even remember this storyline i don't think. Has Kerry been 'raped' yet over there? and if so how many times? and also i'm dying to tell you about something that happens to her but i'll resist

you have to be in Oz when i go there!!! I'll bring you back to England with me when i go back though

Uh, there was the 'rape' by Smithy... and... that's like... it, I think. So far anyway. So that's 'once'.

And I won't remember this storyline by next week. I actually had to go and ask my mum what happened on the show two WHOLE days ago ^.^

And you can feel free to drop evil hints about the future of the Bill-ites. Telling me outright would probably just be an anticlimax for you ;)

:eek: Tink doesn't queue for any man!

Aww. Not even if i'm in Red Dwarf?

Well, whatever. Cancel the queue idea then. :D

you have to be in Oz when i go there!!! I'll bring you back to England with me when i go back though

Yayyyyy! England AND Tink! Even better!

Mwahahaha, I could stow away in your luggage!

i'll put you in my hand luggage then you can get out on the plane and just sit on my knee or something

i'll put you in my hand luggage then you can get out on the plane and just sit on my knee or something

Heh. They'd never notice!

well she's gonna get raped again by psycho policeman that used to be on Eastenders, then :sniper: just as her and Smithy are admitting their undying love for each other

ARGH! WHAT THE HELL???

Seriously, Kerry needs to just die. Immediately. So. Much. Hate. Hate times a billion. A million times a billions times chocolate cake-pie.

That's like... three men she's 'undyingly' loved/been loved by. One was gay, one freakin' date raped her, and one is like, uttery random (stupid Cameron. Stab him in the head. Rarg).

And I don't know anything about Eastenders, so I don't know which guy you mean :p


And S'd (too lazy to double quote): At least I'd be dead in England

i'll put you in my hand luggage then you can get out on the plane and just sit on my knee or something

I don't think I'd fit in hand luggage. Not unless you English people are built to some larger scale... like, say, 2.5 the size of us mere Aussies. 'Cause in that case it might work.

And S'd (too lazy to double quote): At least I'd be dead in England

Philadelphia, hun. You mean you'd be dead in Philadelphia.

And S'd (too lazy to double quote): At least I'd be dead in England

But if they found you while the plane was still flying they might make an emergency stopover and you'll get buried in France :eek:

I won't even BS. I just want my 9,000th damned post.

HA! Elite Jolt Forum User!

Good by Uber Spamgirl!

You know what's scary?

There's a raccoon toy on my keyboard that keeps slowly spinning counter-clockwise without any sort of external intervention.

Obviously Satan has risen to the over world in the form of a small, fluffy, baby raccoon in pink, frilly pajamas.

i wouldn't let them!

I think I'm screwed either way, since that would mean the 'secret to perpetual motion' is to place a baby raccoon on your keyboard. Not many people would take that seriously.

No wealth for me :(

Maybe I could use this in some sort of evil scheme. I'm sure I could think of at least 3 good evil schemes involving baby raccoons.

Ooh, that reminds me. I bought this game the other day: Evil Genius. Muwahahahaha

But here is what I have so far:
A burzum T-shirt and hoodie
A Darkthrone T-shirt
A Old Mans Child longsleeve
A The Haunted T-shirt
A Cradle Of Filth T-shirt and Longsleeve
and a Vader T-shirt


Im gonna get more when I get more money......

I collect this stuff... (http://www.geocities.com/supersaiyangokux/roompics.html)

Eastenders is evil, not least because they have Cockney accents. This is not a London accent, damn you! They give London a bad name. TRUE LONDONERS USE RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION, DAMN YOU.

Thats a pretty extreme collection SSGX.

Well, I have to remain convinced ebay is evil. Otherwise I'll end up blowing hundreds of dollars on the old 80s My Little Ponies I used to want as a child.

I just want them so much. Damn Hasbro and their 'there are countries outside of America that might want our products? Don't be silly' attitude. Damn them to hell. *mutters*


I think we actually have a box full of ancient My Crappy Ponies somewhere. My mother used to collect them back in the 80s, so maybe they're actually worth something now.


Well, I could be amused by the half-eaten-ness. But I sense that offer was rather less than serious (oooh, am I on the ball today or what?).

Well-spotted.
I've actually got a few of those special edition ones. One of them has some sort of skeleton on the front and if you press a button, it makes with the flashy red eyes.


And no apologies needed. I'm half dead from school, and have to run most of my posts through spellcheck.net before they resemble anything like English, so I think I can forgive minor 'they're' and 'there' confusion. And at least Literature tends to be a fluffy subject. Unless that's just in highschool...
I dunno. Discussing the finer points of Shelley's Frankenstein and how Walton and Frankenstein are similar yet different kinda drags after a while. But no more college for today, I can spend the rest of the day doing nothing.



Lies! Evil, evil, evil lies!

Although caffeine is the best, so I wouldn't exactly resist being given more. I could use it to not sleep at all tonight so I could actually try and do some homework tonight. Or stay up playing Morrowind. Whatever.

Crazy Aussies and your time zones. Everyone should just use GMT. I don't care if that means half the world has to live through darkness, it's for their own good. Well, my good, which makes it their good.

My accent is better than *all* of yours.

do you talk posh?

I use received pronunciation, which is the British accent. BBC British, if you will.

There is no accent better than a Boston accent. It is a well-documented (by me) fact.

it makes me cringe to say it but i think that if Myrth's accent is like i think it is then it's hotter than yours

Hehe :)

Meh, you're both probably right. My accent is boring, some people say it sounds British. It's not the stereotypical strong Australian one at all.

"What do you collect?"

Wimmin! :D

Wimmin! :D

Of the inflatable variety? ;)

Firearms and firearms history books.

Good Movies, Good Books, Good Music, Fine Food and Fine Comapny.

I'm a man of taste.

Books, Guns, Swords, Knives, Maps, Cats...

Ahh a good hobbey, unfortunately my collections value hasn't aprreciated with age. Also finding places to keep them is becoming a bit of a problem, although a kind neighbour has offered to 'rent' some of them out from me, isn't that nice of him?

Heh, 'crappy' indeed :rolleyes:
And some of them are worth heaps in good condition. If you have the evil UK exclusives in that box you could make a tidy profit on the 'bay.

Lucky sod.

Wait! Maybe I should deny that and claim they're worthless and offer to take them off your hands... >.>

Ha, I stopped collecting before the gimmicks came out. Although I got a couple of handy book-lights that came with the anthology collection thingies. But I make up for that by having a giant fluffy spider that has flashy red eyes. It also warbles and bounces when you clap.

I haven't the foggiest idea why I own it.

And I just realised that it's probably bad that I'm reviving a thread to discuss Goosebumps books and warbly spiders... oh well, I'm bored and have a free session.

Typical. You get freedom around the point in time I get kicked off the computer. Bah.

And hmm, I think my lit classes were easier to pay no attention to. There's only so much you can say about the dark/light contrast in Apocalypse Now before it's pointless paying any more attention.

Well, on the holidays I tend to shift to GMT I think... if that is what I'm doing when I wake up at 2pm and go to sleep at 7am, anyway. But now I have school, so I can only do that on weekends and Wednesdays. And next month I won't even be able to do it on Wednesdays. Stupid uni subject and it's Wednesday lectures.

They aren't like those Star Wars things that depreciate in value 75% when you take them out of their box, are they? Otherwise I'm going to have to start stealing boxes.

Depressing statements

The most recent I made up is...

We don't just die, we live an excrutiating long life, go through a long period of extra-intense pain then we black out. We awake in a small, quiet, extremly humid, round, white, room where we spend all eterinty... quiet... and alone.

I hear you...

No wait, that is just the little hamster in my head running on it's sqeaky wheel. :(

You're in class right now?

Yep. I'm in the library's computer room thingy. I thought I was going to have to leave, but we apparently have a library/computer class today. So my class came to meet me, and now I'm skipping between NS and sites on Ancient Greece.

What fun.

Oh dear.

Possibly, but my brain will punish me tomorrow if I don't give it enough sleep tonight.


Ha, I've managed to avoid using IRC except when Tink is online. Otherwise I'd never get anything done.

I abuse my computer by leaving it on 24 hours a day, and connected to IRC for mose of that. After a while it becomes rather hard to pull yourself away from, even if a lot of the people there are utter morons.

I don't think anyone could travel that far on a plane without going totally insane.
I can! I absolutely LOVE airplanes! In fact, I plan to actually collect jetliners once I become USPE president in RL!

EDIT: Right now, I DO have an airplane collection, but they're all small steel toys, and one Lego plane.

Oh good. Now I just hope my mother hasn't thrown them away.

Everyone always throws them away. The number of conversations I've had that end with 'Oh yeah, I had hundreds of those things. I would give them to you, but I threw/gave them all away years ago' is really, really depressing.

Stupid people, not giving me 80s MLPs.

I don't think anyone could travel that far on a plane without going totally insane.

...

Oh dear.


Mwahaha. But eh, I've travelled that far by plane without going insane before. Well, without going more insane. I like planes.

Possibly, but my brain will punish me tomorrow if I don't give it enough sleep tonight.

When my brain tries to do that, I drown it in caffeine. Health be damned, and all that.

Obviously I should call the RSPCC on you. Or maybe not.

My computer wouldn't stand for that. It already hums angrily at me when I turn it on. After 22 hours or so I think it would find some way to kill me. Possibly involving altering the brain waves of my cats to make them more efficient at it.

I'm starting to collect one of every type of container of alcohol that I have drunk.

Ooh, I also collect tobacco pipes. I've only got 3 so far, but I'm getting more.

Mwahaha. But eh, I've travelled that far by plane without going insane before. Well, without going more insane. I like planes.

I like planes, but I can't sit still for more than a couple of hours. Especially if there's no film showing in-flight. Or even worse... a really crap 'family' film.



When my brain tries to do that, I drown it in caffeine. Health be damned, and all that.
I usually wait until the morning before I start soaking it with Red Bull. Otherwise as soon as the caffeine rocket fuel runs out, I fall asleep in the middle of a lecture.



Obviously I should call the RSPCC on you. Or maybe not.

My computer wouldn't stand for that. It already hums angrily at me when I turn it on. After 22 hours or so I think it would find some way to kill me. Possibly involving altering the brain waves of my cats to make them more efficient at it.

My computer tried the whole getting bitchy thing on me at first. Then it realised that if it kept doing that I'd just reformat it again. It behaves itself now. I think my record uptime is a bit over 3 weeks before that cursed Windows Update thing forced me to reboot with its annoying pop-up reminders that were disturbing my computing experience.

I collect NIRVANA stuff...I LOVE KURT COBAIN

Silly, that's why you stock up on Gameboy batteries, good books and books on tape. And mp3 players. And various other junk.

And since when do planes ever play anything other than crap family films or crappy 'feel good comedies'? Obviously I've been flying on the wrong planes.

Well, I've trained my teachers to let me drink coke in class. So I get caffeine and sugar throughout the day. Then I crash on the weekends and sleep for some inordinate number of hours.

And also, Red Bull is icky.

Hee, poor innocent computer. Mine's right near my bed, so the continual humming is enough to prevent me sleeping. Somehow I don't think reformatting would make a difference. It's just like with dogs - now it thinks it's dominant, and if I try and fight back, it'll just get aggressive. I'm having enough trouble with the passive-aggressive humming without risking randomly deleted files and random rebooting.

Haven't you thought of MOVING your computer?

Like how many?

These things never keep me amused for long. I just get incredibly bored. And I've never flown for more than 4 hours either. Crazy planes.

Coke just doesn't cut it for me any more, I think I've built up a resistance to the low-levels of caffeine. Red Bull may taste like yuck but it has about as much caffeine in it as several cups of coffee, which can keep me going through the dullest lectures.

Mines right next to my bed too (I'm typing from bed right now). I find the hum rather soothing, actually... think it's been going on for so long that I have trouble getting to sleep without it.
My computer tried the whole random rebooting thing a while ago. It even destroyed its boot sector for some reason so I have to boot from a floppy disk - but I won out eventually by swearing at it and throwing things around. I find that often fixes things.

Haven't you thought of MOVING your computer?

Are you implying there's some sort of... empty surface in my room where I could place a compute? Or that I should put the computer in another room?

You're obviously insane. Utterly, utterly mad.

Like how many?

Like from 10pm on Friday night until 7pm Saturday night, for example.

Porn.

Ah, well, give me a couple of years and I might be the same. For now Coke does fine for me though. It also comes in nifty red cans.
Mine's right next to my bed too (I'm typing from bed right now). I find the hum rather soothing, actually... think it's been going on for so long that I have trouble getting to sleep without it.
Ahhh! You're one of them. My friend was like that until I convinced her she was utterly insane.
You're utterly insane. High pitched, whining hum =/= soothing.

But then, I come from the land of mosquitoes, so I guess I might have a happy little bias here.

Hrm, I haven't tried that yet. Somehow I don't think I could do it very convincingly. What with the whole 'being girly and small'.

My computer would probably just laugh at me. Bastard that it is.

I just stop using it if it starts on the happy-rebooting-for-no-reason thing. Eventually it gets lonely and behaves itself.

Not true! It's not a high pitched, whining hum. It's a soft, gentle whirring noise.

You can never let your computer think it's in charge, it will just take advantage of you. You've got to be a hard taskmaster and make it work for its supply of electricity and internet connection.

Obviously I need to seriously consider ceasing to be a 'loyal' subject >.>

Not true! It's not a high pitched, whining hum. It's a soft, gentle whirring noise.

Well, my computer's certainly isn't. It's like a whole hoard of giant insects plotting how to swarm on a field of corn.

Butbutbut... my whole tecnique is based around letting people think they're in charge! I'm no good at being a hard taskmaster. Usually I can get people around me to do it for me. It's the main benefit of having everyong think you're weak and helpless; not very helpful in this situation though.

And since just the idea of threatening a computer with lack of electicity makes me giggle, so I think I'd fail miserably at that whole exercise.

Maybe I should just buy a new computer and train it properly when it's young.

I collect yugioh and dbz cards >.>;;;;

Lets see, I used to collect cards, when I worked at a movie theatre I collected movie posters...I have a large closet full of them. Now I collect stamps.

Edit: I am talking about Marvel cards, not game cards.

*grumbles*

Why on earth would anyone want to do that? The benefits (none) far outweigh the costs (vengeful Myrth)!

Your computer must be rather old then.

Buying a new one sounds like a good idea. Your computer sounds like it's getting crotchety and old, which means it's time to put it out of its misery by ripping out anything you can use again and piling the rest up somewhere. Or possibly using it as a fancy doorstop.

Either way, my brain is about to melt so I must retire.
*collapses*

prove it..
join the union...

autographs, music and baseball cards

Oh, Members, I collect members

(not those kind of members..)

Damn, good point.

But no, it's not that old at all. I'm just uber-sensitive to humming noises I guess.

Awww, nightynighty then.

join the union...

Pssssh, but then it'd be vengeful Myrth. I prefer subtley-evil Myrth.
Plus I like being a loyal subject really, I was just randomly complaining.

Anyway, why on earth would you want the likes of me in your union? Just to add to the member-count?

Anyway, I'm off to philosophy now. Bye all.

Ask not what the Union can do for you ...

Actually the Union will make a difference. Think about the freedom you will have when no longer being required to worship a mOd.

Crazy Aussies and your time zones. Everyone should just use GMT. I don't care if that means half the world has to live through darkness, it's for their own good. Well, my good, which makes it their good.
Please we see the sun first no matter what Samoa or one of our dumb little colonies says. :p

Please we see the sun first no matter what Samoa or one of our dumb little colonies says. :p
That's only half the year.

There is no accent better than a Boston accent. It is a well-documented (by me) fact.
Yeah until you say Coffee

Aussies-Lets go sweem ein tha pewl :D

That's only half the year.
Whateva

I use received pronunciation, which is the British accent. BBC British, if you will.
Here is a good one is it Pronounced Canterbrie or Can-ter-bury-like St Edmonds or Canter-Berry ?

Because i hate those gits so much! ;)

Ask not what the Union can do for you ...
Ask why they should?

I'm confused. *points WG in the direction of her nation's motto*

What S'd said. If you get me imagining a lack of Myrth worshipping, you'll give me nightmares :(

Evidently this 'freedom' thing is something I'll have to avoid at all costs.

Aussies-Lets go sweem ein tha pewl :D

Only if you provide fosh and chops afterwards. :D

Russian avant garde art, especially Aleksei Kruchenykh works from the socialist period. (I like the way he tried to keep the futurist movement alive during 1924-34). It's a shame the socialists put an end to it.

One day I intend to drag my lazy ass back over to Russia though and by some of their realist agitprop stuff that is lying around in junk yards. I expect it will become quite valuable eventually, when people get over their feelings about stalin.

Only if you provide fosh and chops afterwards. :D
He He He Thats so not true
I lived in OZ and we had to move when i started picking up your dumb accent :p

Beer Bottle lids
" cans
I used to collect Basketball cards
and Model Tanks etc

Your going to hell i was gonna start a hobbies thread :p - :(

Um i collect Match Boxes and Lighters and Scalps of my victims
Hey I love stroking scalps it is just so much fun!
:D :eek:
Do you wash them every week to keep them nice and silky?

I jest but hey at least some has a sense of humour and has stayed on topic. If you want to talk soaps go start your own forum, no pesky interuptions.

I collect this stuff... (http://www.geocities.com/supersaiyangokux/roompics.html)
Now that is a one track mind! Holy DBZ collection batman. Yes my chumsome sidekick there are certainly some dedicated people around these days.

Eastenders is evil, not least because they have Cockney accents. This is not a London accent, damn you! They give London a bad name. TRUE LONDONERS USE RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION, DAMN YOU.
*seethes*
Officially there are 3 accents that are acknowledged as being Londoners and Cockney is one. Admittedly low end but still London!
There is no accent better than a Boston accent. It is a well-documented (by me) fact.
Oh good lord not another Boston accent! Texans beat them hands down, well the accent that you can understand. 2 different accents there! Ausies and Kiwis top them! At least the stereotypical versions. Ausies have at least 4 seperate "official" accents and Kiwis 2 that I am aware of.

Model Tanks etc

Me too. What types do you have?

He He He Thats so not true
I lived in OZ and we had to move when i started picking up your dumb accent :p

Now now, if you lived in Australia for a while, you should know that we have our normal accent, and the one we use so that foreigners can't understand us. :p

I'm starting to collect one of every type of container of alcohol that I have drunk.
My buddy has started that same one. He has about 25 bottles, have you tried the Motei(sp?) it is a rice based Chinese alcohol that packs quite a punch. How about Absynthe - nasty stuff, start with little shooters! He only keeps one of each type.

Active Collections...

Pens...yes...Ink pens.
I never thought of that as a deliberate collection! I just can't seem to make my pen collection shrink any.

I think I've been through every major collectable out there since I was a kid. I did stamps, coins, baseball cards, comic books.... All worthless, now!

Since the mid 90's I've been collecting old toys - Mostly stuff from my child hood - Late 70's-80's. Biggest chunk of it being the Transformers toys, but I also have GIJoe, Lego, Star Wars.... Oh heck, I have a little bit of almost every cool toy line made those years! It's actually gotten so big that I've started setting up at a show or two each year to sell off extras. First time I've had a hobby that's actually paying for itself!

Only down side is that I can't walk around in my basement anymore...

Hehehe! I'll have you know I'm on some of the most distinguished "To Smite" lists in the world! :D
Yeah but you have some dedicated allies too!

I used to collect console games for various systems that I found intresting. (still have quite a lot of unfinished games lying around) I still collect good Dreamcast games, however. (mostly by downloading rips and burning them, but I recently bought Skies of Arcadia) And then I play loads of RPGs, and I guess you could say that I collect level ups and items while playing them, more or less obsessivly... And then I collect fantasy and science fiction books from time to time. (currently Discworld books and Otherland books) And then I have a small, but slowly and irregularly growling collection of downloaded hentai movies that I find worth keeping. :D

I also seem to collect the following, but not too actively: DSP plugins (various formats), downloaded files (they just seem to keep appearing and then they stay for the rest of the partition they are stored on's life), smilies (then I put the best ones on my forum).

Nothing, don't have time.

I just remembered a collection I forgot about! Glittery pens! I have over 90, and never use them for anything anymore.

Oh, and glittery stickers too. I used to collect them too.

...

Nothing scares guys away from a girl's diary like it being pink and full to the brim with unicorn and kitten stickers. Mwahaha etc.

And godDAMNIT. I'm meant to be taking a break from NS. CURSE YOU, COLLECTION THREAD!

*runs away*

other peoples kids.
