1) How long have you been collecting cels?
 -A little under a year.  I bought my first cel from Usagi's 
house sometime after Otakon 99.

2) How much do you spend on cels per month? (Average)
-Er.. that's really tough.  Some months not much comes up I
 want, and some months I shell out ungodly amounts.  I
 would say maybe 3 to 4 hundred a month.  Man that scares
 me to say.

3) What is your favorite cel? 
-Would have to be the Hotohori cel I just bought at Acen.  
since I just posted it last week when I got it.. I'll post 
my second favorite cel, an opening cel from the VPM TV 
series.

4) Assuming you buy cels off the internet - what is your
   favorite site to buy them from 
-That's tough, I like most of the places I deal with.  Taro
 updates frequently, Asylum has nice stuff, and Chaos has great prices.  And Stephen, Curt, and Nick are all absolute
 sweethearts, so probably one of those three, though there 
are many other great dealers out there.

5a) Do you concentrate on specific characters or series or
    both?
-Characters all the way, though Utena is my favorite series
 and for that I make an exception (ie I'd like one of each 
character)  And even for specific characters, there are 
only a handful I like enough to want more than one cel of. (Zoicite, Larva, Utena)  That's because I'm extremely picky 
in what I buy and if I bought every mediocre cel of a 
character I saw, I could never afford to splurge like I do 
on the pricy stuff.

6) Have you ever purchased a cel from EBay or Yahoo or some
   other auction site?
-Yup, though not lately.

7) Do you have family members who also appreciate cels?
-Hah. Hardly.  I think my parents would murder me if they 
saw above how much I spend on these cels.

8) Do you have friends who appreciate cels?
-Not really (except people met over internet)

9) please explain WHY you think cels are so addicting  
-I'm not rich enough to buy part of an anime production 
company, so this is the only other way I'll ever be able to 
own a piece of the anime.
