I'll have a lot of free time on my hands pretty soon, since everyone's children will be in school and will therefore have homework...which means that they'll have to stay home *mwuahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa*.
I just realized the being a loyal fan can be rather expensive. I've spent about $100 on L'arc~en~ciel items, and in less than 4 days! But it did get me a poster, a photobook, 2 magazines, photos, postcards, a T-shirt, and a concert DVD. Not bad for $100 bucks, considering the fact that had I bought these things when they were first put out on the market, I would have spent $200 fairly easily.
Yesterday I decided to clean up my room a bit and was quite amazed to discover that I own such an extensive manga collection. I guess I'd never really given it any thought before. Since I'd been collecting them for quite a few years now, I'd kind of forgotten about some of them. The collection consists of:
Ranma 1/2
Inuyasha
Maison Ikkoku
Tough
Kagerou Nostalgia
Peace Maker
Immortal Rain
Hana Kimi
Absolute Boyfriend (totally not mine)
Tail of the Moon
One Piece
Naruto
Pet Shop of Horror
Crescent Moon
Fruits Baskets
Shaman King
Trigun (&Maximum)
Rurouni Kenshin
Sandland
DBZ
etc.
...and that's just to name a few.
I also have the first year's worth of the English version of Shounen Jump and a few Korean manhwa. Then there's the doujinshi phase that I went through. Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, One Piece, Trigun....yeah, doujinshi.
I can't even begin to name half the books stacked away in boxes in my closet. Video games and CDs...don't even get me started.
Fandoms are expensive. I guess they can be quite profitable too-- if you're willing to part with stuff while it's still hot, that is.
