Pens, more pens and even more pens. Not that I really use most of them, I just love having them around.

According to the online Australian-American English phrasebook I found, a bather is some sort of swim suit, which would make sense. If anyone knows otherwise, please feel free to clarify/correct.

I used to collect pokemon cards when i was 12. But for the most part i'm not really a collector in any collections that out there. Though I do like sports, particularly soccer, i'm just not interested in sport cards because- it's essentially just there with no purpose instead of looking at the stats behind the card. But that just my overall opionion and i can understand how others would be fascinating about card collections/collecting. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No problem. I have an Aussie friend from swim team, so she's always using words and phrases that no one else understands.

Finally - someone with more than me!

BTW Ladysmokeater - I collect knives too. But I am picky so I only have about 15. My favorites are my two damascus steel santokus, my orange beretta and a jaguar that was my second folder - given to me by a colleague at work to help me over my fear of owning knives. I now haave knives from South Africa, France and two Onions.
Oops, carried away.
Buah hah hah hah hahhhhhh!

I collect books. Sort of.

My Lit teacher asked me how many books I own and I responded with an offhand guess of 'Uh...fifty?' I come home and look around--it's really closer to three times that! :oops: And she was amazed by the response I gave her; I'm speculative as to what she would have thought had I given her a more accurate number. (For a fifteen-year-old, I think my collection's quite impressive, even if it is mostly cheapish paperbacks. I'm on a limited budget. I want to buy as many good books as I can NOW, before I have to pay for food and housing.)
