Create your own Friend Quiz hereThe first thing I started collecting when I was young was Care Bear stuff. Man, Care Bears were *so* completely cool (and the original ones still are--screw this new Care Bear crap).
After the Care Bears, I started collecting older childrens books, and continue to do so to this day. If I do say so myself, I have a rather impressive collection of Nancy Drew's, Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swifts, and many {many} other series and books in the same vein.
I also collect other antiques and collectibles. Yes, I'm a dork. I know. I like photography, and in addition to my own photography, I look for great old photography.
Older architecture is also another large interest for me. Mainly architecture from between 1850 and the 1930's.
