Obsessions, Collections, Addictions, et al
Guys, I have no less than five clocks in my bedroom, plus a pocketwatch on a chain at my desk and my own wristwatch which I never take off, and I had to stop myself from buying another clock today. IT WAS SO GORGEOUS THOUGH AND I HAD TO TEAR MYSELF AWAY FROM IT ;;
Does anyone else collect way too many of one type of item?
I'll collect pretty much anything I find pleasing to look at. I have kind of an unreasonable amount of containers in various shapes and colors.
Dust.
It had to be someone. Might as well be foa.
Signature by rubah. I think.
I collect ex-girlfriends.
I'm really good, guys.

I hadn't realized it until my niece pointed it out on webcam but... mirrors. I have five of them in my room. Who needs five mirrors? Wth. 3 are decoration but still. I didn't even realize it. I also collect books it seems. I need another book case/shelf. I have two shelves and two bookcases now. That will be the one thing that will suck whenever I move. Carrying all those books.
Handguns, rifles, airsoft/pellet guns, swords and knives (practical and/or decorative), guitars and picks, computer parts, retro games, certain bottle caps, lighters, marbles, books, rocks (yes I collect ROCKS wannnafightaboutit?), comic books, dice, various tools, flash drives, pens, the tabs off of soda cans, golf/tennis balls, and scotch bottles.

I'm obsessed with Carina Round, and I tend to collect a trout load of her merch, I have like 7 signed items from her, and a few t-shirts and other things. I've also kept every ticket from every concert I've been to ever.
Decks of cards and VHS tapes
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I too had a watch fetish not long ago, but the constant ticking became too much to handle. I quite literally threw my remote at one of the clocks. Although, terribly sad, as it happened to be an antique.
I no longer suffer from this kind of behaviour.

Aside from the obvious one of video games, there's also comic books (I haven't counted in years but to say it's well into the thousands might be an understatement), snare drums (or drums in general), cymbals, and occasionally action figures and toys. Those are the big ones I think. I suppose there were heroclix figures when I was still playing a lot, and now Warhammer 40k models since I took that up, but I'm planning to sell a lot of the former, and really only have the latter because I enjoy the game, and am enjoying customizing and converting models thus far. It's not so much that I want to collect them just for the sake of it as it is they facilitate my enjoying other aspects of the hobby.
How many and what kinds? This interests me greatly.
This is a tragedy
I find the ticking lovely and soothing <3 And I wear earplugs at night anyway, mostly so I don't wake up to the cat yowling outside my door, so the ticking doesn't effect my sleep.
Anything that I like the sound of really. I don't buy anything unless I intend to play it. I'm at work so typing up a list of everything would be q bit time consuming, not to mention a lot more info than most people are probably interested in. I can PM you a list of everything later if you'd like.
The list of snares is a bit more manageable though:
10"x5" Yamaha Stage Custom snare
13"x6.5" Yamaha Musashi Oak
14"x3.5" Pearl Free Floating maple - one of the original ones in an orange finish with ugly hexagonal lugs.
14"x5.5" Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute Nouveau in red sparkle finish.
14"x8" Yamaha Recording Custom - an older one in a bright red finish that I didn't know had ever been available until I bought it.
And my favourite is my 14"x7" Sonor SQ2 - heavy shell birch with inner and outer bubinga veneers and gold hardware. I ordered it shortly after Sonor started the SQ2 line and aside from being an absolute beast, it's also the best constructed drum I think I've ever seen and absolutely gorgeous to boot. Best $1,100 I ever spent.
Thatt Sonor sounds awesome. I haven't played many Sonor's I've particularly liked the sound of, but I played a custom made bubinga shell Tama once and the sound was just godly. But yeah, probably not something anyone else is interested in, I'd like to know what cymbals you've got though, if you want to send me a list that'd be sweet!
