Does anyone else do this? I buy soo many things to do with my special interests-like Lego I've got so much to do with Lego-I have dvds, books, pictures, sets, cards and mimifigures! And it's the same with my other special interest which is the Titanic! I love everything to do with the Titanic. I've got dvds, books, models, cds, blueprints and research it whenever I can. I first heard of it at school-about 5 years ago-and I've been obsessed ever since.
Today I looked in the charity shops as I happened to be in town looking for Vaseline-and in one charity shop I found yet another Titanic movie dvd. I've got several versions, each one is different whether it's a different cover-or with different special features. I hadn't had this one sooo I decided I needed it straight away!
As a bonus I picked up a book called The Starless Sea as I've heard good things about it-and both were only £1.50 together. Bargain! ️
Another special interest for me is dvds and I own soo many it's hard to store them now but when I see a dvd-or a limited edition I become obsessed and have to get it-asap.
I collected records and CDs, and I collected films (VHS tapes! DVDs and Blu-ray)
This sounds very neuro typical until you see the sheer amount.
Before I met my wife, I got into debt because of this, but she helped me get back on track.
I would HAVE to buy the special editions, and newer versions (some films I have had in every format.)
They were all lined up and in a special order. Over 30 years worth.
I managed to get them all in 'my room' (called an office to sound normal ). My wife then wanted a second bathroom and half of my room had to go. Now nothing fits and it's a mess and upsets me when I look.
Streaming has ruined things a bit too. Spending money on a film that I can watch online is too much to justify often (I still indulge a bit). I am really pleased that some young people are starting to appreciate the experience of owning music and films again.
I will get some pictures later. I have a man here cleaning the car which stresses me in ways that only people on this forum can really appreciate. I'm a bit useless at the moment so my wife gives me jobs like this. I tell her the things that stress me out so much, that I can't really share little ones like this (choose your battles, and all that)
