    What are some of the odd things you collect?

    I collect hand cuffs, padlocks, skeleton keys, knives (all types especially machetes), Bdsm accessories, and stamps.

    I collect music cassettes. I have a special fondness for them as they were what I bought when I first got into music, and they are also proportionally a similar dimension to books, one of my other loves.

    I also collect charms. Anything really that looks odd or has a story behind it. Could be bits of junk found in the street or bits of jewellery. Stones and little things from nature.

    Fingerless leather gloves. I really dig the 1980's feel of them, having grown up during the period. Also, leather is just so comfy. I own several pairs, from the cheap 3 dollar ones to more expensive, higher quality branded variants, and also frequently wear them, weather permitting.

    taxidermy collections are always odd, and to me kind of spookie. but no, i don't have any.
    i did see this really neat meowing kind of battery powered cat skelliton looking kind of thing at the 99 cents or big lots or somewhere,
    i forget when, but you know, it was one of those out of season kind of things, which would have been the time to get it.

    I have always collected cat, elephant, frog things.....rocks, and various childhood toy collections, books, art....but lately I seem to be collecting slippers.......I have so many pair sitting new in their boxes still, as they are so wonderful, i don't want to ruin them by wearing any of them...so I keep wearing the same pair all year....with washing in between that are getting raggedy now.....I live in slippers at home....warm, comfy, faux sheepskin booties and things.....

    LOL....dust

    You reminded me , though, I also pick up crow things whenever I see them....so many animal things....My brother collects owl things, so I send anything owl his way.....I don't like any kind of dog things, though...don't know why......a few bambi's here, too, etc...most animal things.....but I always favored cat and elephant things. I have two big elephant benches my mom bought for me carved out of wood that are side by side...they are great.

    I collect the eyes from the evil doers I kill. I bring their skulls to my shrine where silent gods stand guard, soak them in blood and in wine my sacrificial ritual.
