5. Luckily, I made a list of all the stuff I could think of that I collect for questions like this some time ago. These are in no particular order. Stuff on all of my favorite actors/TV shows/movies/bands/etc, dolls, unicorns, Stephen King books, true crime books, Happy Meal toys, armadillos, Texas stuff, shot glasses from all over the world, miniature flags from all over the world, figurines, music boxes, cool and pretty fabrics and patterned papers, stuffed animals, Yuletide (Christmas) decorations, interesting candles, keychains, magnets, geodes, raccoons and foxes (stuff, not the real thing), clocks, books about ghosts and parapsychology, origami, pretty Mardi Gras beads, butterflies (stuff, not the real thing), windchimes, angels (especially ones with funky wings), cute weird little knick-knacks, pretty needlepoint and cross-stitch kits, cute Furbies, crafts books, and any combination of the above.

Besides the stuffed animals, I think the collection I started the earliest was the unicorns. I've loved them since I was a little girl. :)

"Supernatural" was so funny and cute but also sad tonight. I really enjoyed it. ^_^ I guess I'll cut the rest for spoilers. ( 7.14 spoilers )

In other news, I've decided to try to get more organized and get rid of a lot of cumbersome, heavy crap around my apartment. ( More )

My sister said she would bring my TV down here! Yaaaaaaaay. I hope it will be before the weekend so I can watch some Labor Day stuff and what have you. Waiting to hear from her on when she can bring it.

Kinda thinking about signing up for smallfandombang and polybigbang, although I probably won't. I've pretty much signed up for the maximum I can handle between now and the end of January, and would probably just wind up dropping out of both. (Plus the poly bang has several rules that pretty much count out any threesome I'd really want to write; I'd have to take up something entirely new. Not likely, when I have at least one WiP I'd rather finish. Although, I do have a great threesome I could write, but with Yuletide coming up and the other BB's, just don't think it'll come together. I might even wind up writing it for Yuletide!) I'd love to write another "Miracles" story for the small fandom thing, but with me not being able to cross it over with SPN (heh), I'll probably lose interest. I don't know, I'll have to check my list of fic bunnies and see if there's a really good one I could do for just "Miracles" that would keep my attention. Wah. *pout* Big bangs are so shiny and pretty and I want to sign up for them all. I wish I could be that prolific, without any other distractions. I wish they didn't run on similar schedules so I wind up having to write 2 or 3 at once, then nothing for months. It just doesn't work out.

*Sigh* I hate signing up for these and then just having to drop out. But I also hate NOT signing up for them.
