I'm a fairly new collector just within the past year or so, and I'm still figuring out where my collecting interests lie. I tend to flit around from this to that fairly often... a symptom of my ADD.
I know a few members here from around the Interwebs, and I look forward to getting to know many more.

Welcome Zuzu! We love newbies here. Lots of folk to help you with literally centuries of collecting experience and knowledge to draw upon. Don't hesitate to ask anything, no matter how trivial you think it may be (one person's trivial is another's obsession).
Enjoy yourself here!

the initial flitting is perfectly common. it is often followed by midlevel flitting; which, in turn, is followed by aged flitting. Occasionally we find a few things that really capture our interest and stick, but then we see this really pretty piece of paper and it's off to the races. If you truly have ADD, i think it can only benefit the process.

Welcome aboard the SOR stamp collecting ship, Zuzu, where you will meet many fine collector's full of more information than you will ever want to know.
Part of ADD is the fact that it allows us to keep from getting bored with just one little aspect of stamp collecting and to be so easily distracted from stamp to stamp.

Welcome "zuzu".
Please stay a spell. Stamporama has
an extremely high threshold of tolerance
for those of us who are not paying attention.
