No kidding! I love Star Wars too. Love epsidoes IV, V and VI. Hated the first three. Wayyy to go, Mr. George Lucas.

  You should look up a thread on DV about Star Wars. That was fun. CK's nuts about Star Wars too.

Hmm.  You know I've been trying to find it on DV so I could bump it up for you. Can't seem to find it. Drats.

  It's the one long thread on Star Wars between CK, Lindsy, tenkani and myself. That was way back when Episode 3 (I think) aired in the theatres.

  We were discussing the merits of Darth Vader's acting ability. You know, the one when he screams 'noooooooooooooooooooooooo' like a sissy upon discovering his body is virtually all metal.

I collected stamps too, Lise.  I used to send away to all these stamp companies.....loved it.  (I still have my childhood stamp book, but now we've added hubby's fathers collection to it.....although I don't do much with it)

  Now I don't have a specific thing that I collect, but I love all things Victorian, and antiques of any kind.  I love miniatures.  Miniature anything, but particularly antique miniatures.

That's so cool, PC. Maybe one day our stamps will be worth $1,000,000 or something like that, eh?

  Minature everything is so adorable. I love to see these minature furniture, especially in an old Victorian house. I don't think I can have them around our place though. Lise Jr. might take it into her head to start playing with them.

I used to collect baseball cards. Then Star Wars cards. That set me up perfectly for the cardboard crack known as Magic: Teh Gathering. I kind of went on a bender on them things for a while.  
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

I collected all sorts of crap from the traditional to unconventional...



What I can recall off the top of my head



- stamps (had 7-9 albums - can't remember)

- post cards (some of them were really old)

- FDCs (philatelists would be familiar with that acronym: First Day Covers)

- candy wrapper foils

- seashells

- marbles

- keychains (had close to 100, had them displayed on the wall)

- copper plates (didn't have too many of those, but they were also on my walls)



There were probably a few more I can't recall right now...



Then I became a minimalist and freed myself of all those attachments.  [A onclick="addImg('icon/icon_smile_cool.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"][/A]
