I feel so much better now that I'm not 
alone...yes I admit it, I used to collect beanie 
babies...it's actually really funny to think 
about that period in my life now, all of the 
beanie forums and trading boards and the crazed 
collectors willing to pay insane amounts of money 
for a Tank the Armadillo, when someone posted a 
sell offer you had to speed to the e-mail, on 
eBay you would wait to snipe...haha glad cel 
collecting is nothing like that ^_~ At least my 
mother still loves the beanies that are left and 
happily keeps them back home.  I don't think if I 
ever stopped collecting cels that I would go back 
to stuffed animals of any kind though, I probably 
would end up collecting musical instruments...oh 
and old suitcases from the '20s to the '70s, I 
just started that collection ^^ They are almost 
all currently being used to store my various 
doujinshi, DVDs and cels.

oops boss is back :)
