Inspirations, Inspirational, The content of a content Abby

I generally get innate compulsions to have strange thoughts the more tired I become as a night progresses. Having finished writing a paper, taking me approximately four hours to complete, and after barreling through a very long day or semi-small amounts of sleep, I have decided to verbalize my list of life-long obsessions. They are as follows: 

Batman

Houdini

Dr. Seuss

Al Capone

Sagmeister

magic

animals- zebras, wolves, panthers, hyenas, hawks, dogs

mobsters in general

quirky, odd, old things

toys, especially action figures or things that are smaller than their general counter part (for example, my tic-tac cars vs    

          micro-machines vs hot wheels)

shark teeth

old keys

old paper dolls

small glass jars and vials

buttons

oddly shaped or colored candles

old perfume bottles

old portraits

Albrect Durer

vampires

Anselm Kieffer

jars full of things

metal binders

the concept of a Marry Poppins bag

random quotes from my mother

stickers
hat pins

foreign currency

old nintendo controllers

sewing/repairing things badly
stickers
dreams
watches as necklaces
playing cards

cages

small notebooks
leather jacket scented crayons

recipes

old pieces of paper

new pieces of paper

random spices in their raw/dried form

$.25- .50 animal toys in little plastic bubbles from one of those cheap, jank-ass machines

The Sundance Kid

pockets

pockets in shoes

pockets on the insides of coats
loose tea leaves

fish- especially when they are placed in containers that don't constitute as a "tank"

why certain words start appearing in everyday conversation more often than others, happening in phases, for example, the

          word "innate"

secret passages

The Brothers Grimm

My green folder of strange stories clipped from an old newspaper magazine.

Chunks of safety glass after a car crash
the differences and similarities between Profanity, Profane and Profound
E.A. Poe
music boxes
weird pieces of wood

I compulsively collect pens and fine-tipped markers... I don't know if that should have made the list or not

interesting that all humans appearing on my list are men.
