Potentially dumb question

[(Anonymous)]

Can secrets be submitted any time during the week, or do they have to be submitted on the day the submission post goes up?

I’ve been here for years and I really feel I should know the answer to this…

Re: Potentially dumb question

[(Anonymous)]

I just figured you submit when the posts for secret submissions go up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Potentially dumb question

[(Anonymous)]

I submit them any time during the week.

Re: Potentially dumb question

[(Anonymous)]

As long as the post is up, you can submit to it. I’ve probably submitted on every day of the week by now. I’ve had times where a last-minute submission got posted that same day.

Collections

[(Anonymous)]

Did you collect anything when you were a kid? Are you collecting anything now? Getting rid of anything or getting back into collecting? Talk about it here!

Re: Collections

[(Anonymous)]

Bruises, scars and traumas. I'm not thinking of building that collection back up.

Re: Collections

[philstar22]

I used to collect Monopoly sets. Don't have the money to buy any more, though I still have the ones I've gotten so far. Someday I'll take it back up.

And if it counts, I'm a Tolkien completists who wants to own as much of what he wrote as a possibly can, no matter how obscure.

Re: Collections

[(Anonymous)]

Comic books. I had to sell most of my collection when I moved several states away from where I originally lived, and have not been building my collection back up. Too expensive, and too space consuming.

Re: Collections

[greghousesgf]

I have a book, music and video library I'm very proud of.

Re: Collections

[mishey22]

I didn't collect anything when I was little (we moved around too much) but now I collect hockey things and elephants. But not elephant hockey things.

Re: Collections

[dancingmouse]

I used to collect cool looking rocks and anything Dinosaur related when I was little.

Now, I'm colleting books, art supplies, old pennies from before 1980, and eyeshadow pallettes.

I used to collect Pokemon cards. As an adult, I collect perfume.

Still have the Pokemon cards, though!

Re: Collections

[(Anonymous)]

Frogs, dice, rocks, seaglass, swords...as an adult, I do still collect dice, just of the polyhedral variety these days.

Re: Collections

My collecting impulse runs deep.

My first serious bout of collecting was Beanie Babies, lol. I think I had at least seventy by the time that craze started waning. Most of them were the standard $10 editions, but I had a few that were slightly more collectable. They were pretty much all I asked for as gifts for two or three years. In my defense, I wasn't collecting them under the belief they would make me rich one day or whatever some of the collectors believed for a while there. I was ten/eleven/twelve and I just got kind of obsessed with collecting them for their own sake.

After Beanie Babies I had a bit of a San Rio phase. This made sense at the time, because I lived in a small town and the only way I could buy San Rio merch was by going to a neighboring city. It was hard to come by, and that made it desirable. I remember La Senza Girl had San Rio merch and I was obsessed with going there.

In 2020 I got pretty heavily into collecting Fragrances. I'd already been casually collecting for years, but in the second half of 2020 I went hard. It's an expensive-ass hobby, though, and fortunately I burned out on it pretty quickly. I bought around 90 samples, and 8 full bottles in the second half of 2020, and then was like, I don't think this is making me happy??? and dialed it way back. One great thing that came out of my fragrance collecting phase, though, is that it taught me to shift my mentality from "I need a bottle of this fragrance," to, "I will be content with a 10ml decant of this fragrance." I can pay a fraction of the price for a decant, and it takes up less space, and I actually stand a good chance of using it up.

Those have been my main collections, I guess, but I lowkey collect lots of things. Usually when I first get interested in a particular type of item I get REALLY interested and want to Collect All The Things. Then, after a while, I stop fixating and start making a conscious effort to curb my acquisition of more stuff I don't need.

I've been collecting badges since I was ten and wanted to keep a few of the birthday badges I had gotten over the years - so now my collection lives in one of those Fullmetal Alchemist dvd tins.

Also I'm trying to collect all of CLAMPs works and as much merch as I can find that isn't Card Captor Sakura.

Re: Collections

I collect things in phases. I was collecting dolls, then anime box sets, and now I'm collecting pins. I'll probably bounce back to dolls sooner or later. I collected shiny rocks when I was a kid and I still have a box of them stored away somewhere.

Re: Collections

i got into itabags a while ago and let me tell you, THAT was a mistake for my wallet and storage. i don't really regret it though since the nature of itabags means that i really love all the characters i have pins and charms of

Re: Collections

[kaijinscendre]

Animorphs Books.

Re: Collections

[(Anonymous)]

Beanie Babies! I had tons of them, mostly Macdonalds and knock-offs, and they were very throughly played with. They're in bins now. If interest in them picks up I'll pull out a few I especially loved and throw the rest at an thrift store.

Re: Collections

[(Anonymous)]

Books! And anime DVDs! Although I had to thin the collection by a LOT when I moved, and sold about 80% of it. With still left me with about ten boxes of that stuff.

Re: Collections

[(Anonymous)]

The only thing I have continuously collected has been cards and postcards. I have a whole box and I made up a 'postcard wall' where I display them and rotate them out seasonally.

As a kid, I collected some book series's. Which I guess I still do. I remember a pog crazy for a while. Pretty rocks.

As an adult, pin-back buttons and pins. My fridge is covered in buttons I've snipped the pin off of and glued magnets to.

Re: Collections

As a kid, I had a rock collection that I partnered up with little lizard toys (the finger length rubber ones).

I moved into teacups until one of them broke lol

And metal juice caps

A random thing

[(Anonymous)]

I was going through my medical records the other day and I saw a file that was basically a simplistic family tree diagram with results for a genetic mutation I was tested for last year. Then I noticed that while men were squares and women were circles, I was a diamond. I’m openly nonbinary, but I don’t usually expect legal and medical things to acknowledge it. But whoever or whatever system did that file…did. I have no one to give my appreciation to, so I guess I’m venting it here.

Announcement

[(Anonymous)]

The song that I had in my head and couldn't remember the title of all day was "The Way You Do The Things You Do" by the Temptations.
