Yet I like the idea of having a collection, even if it takes up space and time. Collecting requires time, thought, and effort, unlike picking things up here and there. Of course, there is a certain organic nature to picking things up more randomly, but there's still a natural pattern to collecting--knowing what you're looking for and finding it. It's a conscious act.
Perhaps I need to start a collection. Any ideas?
Doesn't that first collection make you laugh?

I tend to pile books and papers, too. But I started getting these little friendship dolls, Momiji. I guess, they're a collection. But I need to figure out a way to display them somewhere!
i've never collected anything. i've always had teeny apartments so i never had the room for the necessary things let alone a collection. i suppose we have a lot of art stored away, which could be considered a collection. if anything though, i try to collect memories. those i can store in my journal, blog, and photos.
I like the first collection...a mish-mash of things but they all go well together :)
