There you are talking to someone you just met and you're asking questions to get to know one another. You talk about music, sports, movies, hobbies, interests, then bam! It somehow comes up...Do you collect anything? Well, it might be more likely to come up in a different situation, but the question is the same no matter how it is brought up. And you know what? I don't like that question. Why not? Because I don't have a good answer.
I wish I could say something cool like "I have the fortune from every fortune cookie I've ever eaten" or "I collect rare diamonds" (I wish!). But the truth is, I don't collect anything remotely interesting. The only thing I can really say that I collect is movie ticket stubs, and I've only been keeping them since February 4, 2004 (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton). I really wish that I had thought to save my movie ticket stubs from the very first movie I saw, which I really don't remember what it was, but I assume it was some Disney movie. If only I had been a four year old girl thinking "I better save this ticket stub so I can please my future self." Darn it, four year old Katherine! I don't care if you were the cutest little four year old ever, you disappoint me! Heehee.
So since I have only been collecting my old ticket stubs for a little over two years I've decided that it's still pretty cool because I remember who I went with and where I saw each and every one of those 44 movies (plus the two or three movies that I didn't get the ticket stub back when Brian paid for the movies while we were dating). So I think that's pretty cool that I have a good enough memory to remember each and every movie experience. So I should definitely continue to save my ticket stubs. That way in like 50 years I can look back at all the hundreds of ticket stubs and have a wonderful blast to the past...assuming I don't begin to lose my memory when I'm seventy (Knock on wood).
So my goal in life is to see as many movies in theatres as possible. Since I have about 46 movie ticket stubs and I've been saving for the past two years and two months then I must go to approximately 23 movies a year...hm...I'll be home in 12 days. Hint hint. Invite me to the movies! Heehee.
Keep smiling :)

ok...
1. when in the world would that come up in a conversation when you are first meeting someone? i mean..that's the first thing i ask..
2. do you realize that you've spent appr. $230 on movies since Win A Date..and that's just assuming they are $5..which they are probably more. that's like...a whole new wardrobe at AE..including your swimsuit..
i collect movie stubs too :-P. it really is fun to try to look back and recall what all you did that night with what friends and so on so forth. i've been saving mine since junior high, but i was never really allowed to go to that many movies :(. i've kept every one since then, except (like you) when Brian paid for one or two movies; he threw them out before i had a chance to say anything :(. oh well. lol. keep on looking foward to break and the movie experiences that lie ahead :-D lol.
Geeze, Brian...why don't you give your girlfriends their ticket stubs. lol. Just messing. Hey...I didn't delete that second comment...what's going on?
Oh my gosh! I too collect movie stubs, but I've been collecting since "Dumb & Dumber" was in the thiators :)
