porcinea started a meme about collections, and she defined a collection a a group items of which you have more in number than a normal person would and that you have no qualms about getting more. (paraphrase)

So what do I collect?

Shoes: I feel like I don't have a real collection, but only about 2 doz or so pairs. This, however, is more than average and I don't feel it's excessive, so it counts. And I do have a pair of shoes i don't wear but would display on the wall if we had more room. (Blahniks, Barney's Warehouse sale, back when I had money, heh)
Purses: Again, I don't feel I have that many and I don't use them, but how can I get rid of my DJ bag with the race car motif from H&M or the chinese yellow print backpack Simon got me from the Xmas Market in Union Square one Xmas? And I just bought two more, so...
Diaper bags: see above, also there's always the hope of a better design
Makeup: Haven't bought anything in a while (seriously), am thinking about culling, but always see things I would buy if we had more space and money
Hats: Rarely wear them anymore, have hat boxes full
Batz Maru/Hello Kitty stuff: Luckily, there is no sanrio store here. But I have a nice collection of Batz Maru things, including watches and condoms.
Watches: Have a huge number of them, all of which need new batteries at this point. Hello Kitty, Batz Maru, Timex Indiglo, trinkety watches like watch rings and bracelets, and my favorite; the Diamonds Are Forever 007 Swatch.
Books: will buy any books pretty much, particularly 2nd hand, but collect books by favorite authors, including multiple copies.
Comic Books: have slacked off recently, but not from lack of interest.
DVDs: tv series and movies

Hmm, that's all I can think of, although I'm sure there's more.

So...how 'bout you? What are your collections about?
