INSTRUCTIONS: Obsessively collect something for no less than one month.

Document your collection and its growth.

I wanted to attack this task from both sides of the coin.

You'll see why that's funny very soon.

I am currently collecting two lots of things. Material and immaterial. Physical and metaphysical. Reality and representative.

Money and thoughts.

I started both of these on the 12th January 2008, and plan to continue thought collection until February 12th, but carry on collecting money for as long as necessary.




Money

So for the money side of this completion, if I see any denomination of money on the ground whatsoever, I am required to pick it up, and pocket it. That is essentially it.

As of 7th February 2008, I have acquired 85 pence (approximately $1.65)! And don't forget, this total is 100% profit.

Records:
23rd January - $1 achieved!




Thoughts

I wanted to collect a patchwork of thoughts from myself that each sum up a nondescript period of time. I wonder what conclusions can be drawn from some of these.


12th January -
"Wow, people drop loads of money around here."
13th January -
"Sometimes, I wish me and her could just get on with our lives."
14th January -
"Eurgh, Monday morning. Moyles, SHUT UP!"
15th January -
"Well, I revised for the exam, and I'm bloody glad I did."
16th January -
"I really don't know what I'd do without music. It is my life, and everything that is important to me comes back to music in some way. God, I love it."
17th January -
"Roll on tomorrow."
18th January -
"Well, I'd better get started on this project then."
19th January -
"Finally, the weekend is here. But the new week is going to catch me round the corner, I know it is."
20th January -
"I'm... a... high... way... starrr-rrr-rrr..."
21th January -
Ben: "Wahey! More money!"
22th January -
"God, it feels like a Friday already! I hate this school sometimes. Triple science in one day. Bleurgh."
23th January -
"I can't believe how much cash people drop around here!"
24th January -
"Whoa. I just zoned out."
25th January -
"11 months to go."
26th January -
"SFZEROSAT plans are a-go-go. SHIT, this is going to cost me."
27th January -
"Our band is already coming together nicely! I'm loving this again."
28th January -
"I wish I'd stop biting my nai-- hey, I've got an idea!"
29th January -
"Sometimes when I look deep into her eyes, I can see the memories that my own once held."
30th January -
"Squee!"
1st February -
"February already? Time flies."
2nd February -
"Hmm... I know I shouldn't, but I do. Why?"
3rd February -
"MINERVA! The support band that I saw, but I didn't know the name of! I love these guys. I thank Z."
4th February -
"I sometimes wonder if he wants to be here."
5th February -
"Right, that's it. I quit The Game. I don't care about the rules."
6th February -
"This week is a drag."
7th February -
"Ghaa. Playing the intro to Mama Mia, I messed it all up. Damn oboe."
8th February -
"Half term! I'm so free and careless! It's so go-- oh, revision."

"Mmh, chips."
10th February -
"OW. OW."
11th February -
"OWWWWWWWWWWWW."

For the many times I've seen you pick up money, and going back through hordes of people to get a penny.

Oh, and "I'm... a... high... way... starrr-rrr-rrr..."

Ah yes! Community orchestra every Thursday evening, we do a Mama Mia cover. We also do classical musics, film scores and jazz. It's good fun.

I have the intro to Mama Mia on my own, the staccato leaping quavery bits. Being the only oboe is difficult.

I hated being the only oboe.
Ach, where were you when I was in high school?!?
