::yawn:: late, tired, must fill out survey.  

1) How long have you been collecting cels?

since late september/real early october, i think.

2) How much do you spend on cels per month? (Average)

um, it varies wildly, depending on how many cels come up.  sometimes $200, more often no more than $50.  i like the $50 months more ^-~.
3) What is your favorite cel? (Post pic)

um, i've learned my lesson not to do that.  besides, i may
have to pick a new favorite soon.

4) Assuming you buy cels off the internet - what is your
   favorite site to buy them from (not necessarily where
   you buy cels most regularly)?

well, i'm quite fond of taro, though i haven't bought much
from them.

5a) Do you concentrate on specific characters or series or
    both?

yep.  i only like a few characters enough to warrant multiple
cels: kuririn and juunanagou from dbz, and hopefully kane from LU.

 b) If you collect for a series, do you go through the 
    trouble of finding at least one cel per character?

god no.

6) Have you ever purchased a cel from EBay or Yahoo or some
   other auction site?

god yes.  every once in a while you get something good on
those places.

7) Do you have family members who also appreciate cels?

just my sister.  my mom hates them.

8) Do you have friends who appreciate cels?

not non-cel friends, no.  cel friends, obviously.

9) In the space of this form box (i.e. the entire message
   cannot force scrolling either vertically or horizontally
   in the reply text box), please explain WHY you think 
   cels are so addicting - imagine you're trying to explain
   to someone why they're so great. 

Because they're very expensive, but you get to be very elitist
with them.  you are the only person in the whole wide world
that owns that particular thing, and nobody else can have it
unless you give it to them.  i think that feels good.
