Pin Addiction Rant!!!!
(No response to this thread is necessary. I'm simply venting!)
RANT ON:
I'm a relatively new Disney pin collector. While I did a little trading at Disneyland with CM's over 8 years ago, it was never that serious. BUT, I'm a pack-rat by nature, and there were SO MANY cool pins I was beginning to discover on the Internet. And, we got Annual Passports a year-and-a-half ago. And then it happened; I became addicted to pin collecting.
Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten my collecting habit under control. I want them all! I am unable to restrict my collecting interest to a narrow set of criteria. My interests are too varied!
I spend way too much at Disneyland on pins.
I spend way too much on Ebay buying pins.
I spend way too much time on PinPics.
Now I've discovered this forum. I began spending more time here last week. AND, I CAN BUY PINS HERE!!!! Hooray!!!! Another outlet for my excess money!
I think I need help. I suppose admitting I have a problem is a first step.
I'm guessing I need to narrow the scope of my collecting, lest I drive myself CRAZY trying to find them all!!!
So I'll start today. My main collecting interest revolves around surfing, and surfboards. Let's stick with that as a major emphasis.
But, I really like Dopey, and Doc, and Grumpy, heck, I like the whole crowd! Let's say I'm collecting Dwarfs, too. OH, and I guess I can't leave out Snow White and the Queen and the Hag.
I like pins that are simple. Just a character's head or whole body. No borders, no captions, no background, just the character. What harm can I do collecting those also. Afterall, how many Disney characters can there be? I wonder if I can collect one of each!
Jungle Book pins are cool. And Pinocchio. How about Lion King? Beauty and the Beast? Oh, heck why not collect something from each movie. There can't be THAT MANY pins out there, can there?
Yikes, I think I have a problem. Maybe I should just stick to surfboards and surfing pins! (Though collecting a few Dwarfs can't hurt, can it? And a few Pinocchio pins . . . . . . ) Oh, man, I need help!!!
