How does one define a collection?
Stuff I have a lot of...
Books.
I unintentionally amassed a library of plant books: anatomy, physiology, morphology, development, floras, botanical teaching books, botanical illustrations, other plant picture books, and gardening references.
I also have a large collection of Star Wars novels.
Coins
I pick up any coin that I see, which has brought me some handy funds as well as a wooden jar filled with neat-looking coins from all over the world. I doubt that any of them are particularly valuable, and I wouldn't ever group myself among serious coin collectors, but I do love coins.
Journals
I've been writing in journals since second grade. Writing a little something nearly every day has left me with a chest filled with journals of varying sizes, colors, and shapes. Whenever I see an inexpensive journal it's difficult to resist purchasing, simply because I know I will use it. I've tried giving friends journals as gifts, but I guess it's not a particularly popular habit.
Pens
I suppose this goes along with my journals. I always like to have an over-abundance of pens. There's nothing worse than being without a pen. People have given me pens as gifts, some of which are quite beautiful. I love heavy metal pens and cheap dollar-for-20 pens - just any pen makes me happy. I especially enjoy cheap run-of-the-mill pens from different countries. Like paper clips, they are just a bit different with a unique character and ink tone.
