Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Seirra's Interesting Fact Expanded

Almost everyone I know has a collecting fetish of sorts. For my sister, it’s cows. For my mom, it’s frogs. For my Aunt Joyce, it’s bears. For ME, it’s dragons. I am a complete and utter dragon enthusiast. Unfortunately, it’s not easy having a dragon fetish, because it’s hard to find dragon stuff these days. I have some figurines, some stuffed animals, some shirts, and some jewelry, but that’s about it. To find anything vaguely cool, I usually have to trust my good friend, Google, to come up with some random site that sells dragon paraphernalia. The true decision after that is whether you trust your money with this mysterious distributor. So, I just stick to reading fantasy literature and picking up obscure objects that feed my fetish whenever humanly possible.

Wow, um, I should have chosen something more interesting. Like, the fact that I can play bass guitar.

Oh well.

My mother collects pigs, so I'm well acquainted with that sort of faniacal obsession. I think dragons are much cooler. I read fantasy, and write it, so if I collected something it would probably be dragons or fairies. Luckily, since I have no room in my life for more possessions, I also have this abhorrence to collecting anything that will take up any space I remain collection-less. (Unless you count my 100 paper dolls, and my 426 books.) Did I say I didn't collect things?
