Okay, so I've failed with my no internet rule today, but as soon as CE goes down, I will restart my rule
Um, for me, I started collecting because my boyfriend was a collector already. He wasn't insanely addicted or anything, but he did enjoy spending any spare money he had on editions. However, he was never very good at finding the ones he wanted online (such as older releases that he'd missed) so I (being a strange CE search engine of a woman) would be given a list of editions he wants to track down, and I'd find them.
I'd always find them in no time (him and our friends don't really understand how I manage to find them, and so easily!) so he'd then tell me to look for others I'd think he'd like (obviously, being a gamer, and his girlfriend, I'd know what games/editions he's be quite interested in).
So after months of helping him out, I realised I was actually really enjoying searching for them, and finding out what is included in them, etc. So I decided to begin collecting too
Well, I say I decided, I didn't really... It just happened (after I realised I had made preorders for a bunch of upcoming editions
) xx
