No friends but I have multiple weird collections to make up for it
Time to visit my far away friends and start a collecting of their ashes
check, check, check, check
And I’m not even 40!
If you have a collection of pets ashes, does that count for both? Also, did they have to be my pets?
Slight variations (dog’s collar, I support my kids weird collections), but based on this list, I’d say I’m a successful 40-something.
Out of curiosity what weird things do your kids collect?
No such thing as a weird kids collection.
Whatever a kid is excited about is fuckin awesome man!
edit: as long as something isn’t being unalived to add to the collection obvs
You mean killed?
Yes?
No such thing as a weird kids collection
That’s right. I made mine weird by keeping it into my adulthood. I regret nothing, except for a different weird collection that I believed I had grown out of.
I have 2 kids. But between the two, we collect: Fans, scary jack-in-the-boxes, sprinklers, inflatables, and pencil sharpeners.
scary jack-in-the-boxes
You and your kids are cool.
He’s 9 by the way. The line between cool mom and terrible parent is thin here. 😉
I do my best to walk that line, as well!
I’d fuck with a scary jack in the box collection that sounds neat as hell
Yes to all of these, although my current friends and wierd collections are both relatively newly acquired
I’ve got a few years before 40, and I’m 4/4! Finally, I’m ahead of the curve for once
Tell me about your collection
It’s instruments… I can play a little bit of all of them, but none of them very well lol. I just like playing with them
An acoustic guitar, an electric guitar (I had 2 electrics, but gave my dad one with a small amp), 2 soprano ukulele’s (in case a friend wants to join), a piano keyboard, electric drum kit, harmonicas, a violin (I got it for my wife, but we both like to mess with it) and… I think that’s it. I kinda want a bass guitar one day too, just because it looks like fun
Also a small collection of cacti, and a small collection of amateur radio equipment (as well as other electronics that I like to mess with)
Hey, there’s nothing weird about my collections of vinyl records and German beer steins and uranium glass and sterling silver and quack medical devices and watches and books and pewter and brass and guitars and cameras.
I honestly started off with the intent of being funny, and then I realized how many fucking collections I have, and now I don’t really know what to do with myself.
You collect collections.
I dub the Collectorius, the Collections Collector!
You march your butt down to Lowes to get those big black totes so you can pile your collected items into them and stow them in a neat stack in the garage so that you have space for more collectibles. That’s what you do with yourself. Don’t forget the label maker!
Do I win something for achieving it all a few years early?
You do, but it’s just another item for your weird collection, that you obtain for yourself, to celebrate.
Source: I bought myself another item for my weird collection, to celebrate this milestone.
2 out of 4 ain’t bad, but there’s still a little time left for me.
I turned 38 today exactly, I checked al the boxes already, I’m prepared.
Happy birthday! Well done on the preparation.
Thanks, to be sure I have multiple weird collections.
Congratulations and keep wiggling!
I had a friend like you. He was screaming (figuratively) about kids on his lawn in his twenties. You old fuck. Cheers.
Happy birthday!
Cheers mate :)
Do the ashes of friends, and family count?
Yes, yes they do
46
- several friends 8000 km away, check!
- several, check!
- no ashes, but buried in a special creepy place in the backyard. We used to keep my mom’s ashes around until we buried her. Technically I could get her ashes back back. Check!
- several: mineral samples from places I’ve hiked, books, stamps, old hard disks, DVD and VHS movies, CDs…
I feel accomplished. Thanks people!
Thanks, hippie
No pet ashes, but I do have treasured memories of long-gone much-loved pets.
