Packrat

Thigs I collect actively:
* masks from all over the world (mostly bought by me or a friend in-country, rather than on eBay or something)
* campaign buttons and other political memorabilia from Asian American elected officials
* state quarters
* countries (see here)

Things I collect passively:
* postcards from around the world
* books signed by the authors (e.g., Hillary Clinton, Joe Trippi, Helen Zia)
* things decorated with dragonflies
* silverware liberated from airlines (by others, of course)

Things I have a collection of through no directed nor concerted effort of my own (just worked out that way... honest!):
* dustbunnies
* black shoes/boots
* textiles from my various travels
* swag from LexisNexis & Westlaw
