Wockollecting
I haven't been able to update my wockets in a while, because my website wasn't working, and without a way to upload pictures, it just isn't a wocket!
But now I'm able to post pics again, so I wanted to share some collections of mine!
I love collecting weird things. I think it's because I'm such a pack rat anyway, but I just love collecting strange stuff.
Collection 1: Hotel Bibles
Since I travel a lot for my job and stay in a lot of hotels, I have time to work on my Gideon bible collection. I take one of those little bibles from every hotel room I stay in. It's a fun way to remember my trips and it gives the Gideons something to do (namely, print more bibles and put them back in the room).
To date, I have over 50 hotel bibles and ten books of Mormon. Eventually I'm going to get a bookcase big enough to hold them all at once.
Collection 2: Metal Things
When I walk around town or in the city, I notice a lot of weird stuff on the ground. Most of it you probably don't want to touch cuz of germs, but the things I do collect from the ground are weird metal things. One day, I was out walking and found some kind of L-shaped solid metal doohickey, and I couldn't for the LIFE of me figure out the purpose of it. I took it home and put it in an old tea jar, and from that day on, I've collected bizarre metal things from the ground. My only requirement is that they be things I can't immediately identify or figure out a use for.
NOTE: If you take up this hobby, be sure to carry a handkerchief for picking the things up, or you might get tetanus!
Collection 3: Gold Mirrors
I LOVE mirrors, and I love decorating my house, so this hobby just writes itself! I have a bunch of gold-painted mirrors around my house, and whenever I can, I like to surf Craigslist or check out local flea markets to find more!
I hope these wockollections have inspired you to start your own weird collection!
