things I collect

Things I collect, as re-discovered while doing a vicious cleaning:

Bookmarks. Particularly unicorn bookmarks, many of which have dorky little unicorns on them, but almost all of which say things that I like. If there’s ever any doubt my heart is in the clouds, just check out the bookmark collection.

Old correspondence, from the days before widespread email useage. I cannot, at the moment, decide if I should keep this stuff or not, which means that I will. Also: my character Kit’s entire online roleplay history from Classic X-MUSH, save one scene, in hardcopy. I do not want this in hardcopy, but I can’t quite bring myself to give it up. Gawd.

Scrapbooks. Some of these are even filled. Ditto: photo albums. Also ditto: sketchbooks.

Old calendars. I love calendars. I have still-sealed copies of late 20th century ElfQuest calendars, as well as the 1990 calendar, which is in *extremely* good shape and which I was keeping mostly because I love the Goodtree picture, but now I’ve got a print of that, so I don’t know why I’m keeping it anymore. Does anybody want some old ElfQuest calendars? Or know where I could hand them off to people who might like them? Same with the 1990 Beauty and the Beast calendar, which I have no earthly reason to keep, but unless I can find it a good home, I probably will.

Possibly I’ll someday have a room of my own to write in, and I will litter it with all these odds and ends, thus justifying keeping them, but possibly not, too. It’s a mystery!
