And what's in your bag?

[livejournal.com profile] jonquil posted about a time capsule from 1957 that included the contents of a woman's purse from that era, and asked what unusual or interesting things were in your bag. I started listing the contents, but it got a bit long, so I'm moving it over here, and asking *you* the same question.

The bag in question is basically a small messenger bag with FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST emblazoned on it. I got it before I watched the anime, actually: I liked the shape and size of the bag, and it was the least objectionable logo at the time. If I'm feeling like a giant dork when I go into places, I turn it around so the logo is facing me. :)

Contents:

-- A veritable pharmacy of non-daily meds, including Relpax, Advil, Lactaid, and Imodium (because when you need it, you need it now).

-- A box that separates out your pills by day, which I used to take my daily meds to A-Kon and haven't removed from my bag yet.

-- Currently, my passport, which I picked up from mom in anticipation of the Japan trip.

-- Two DVDs with Hogfather and various Time Teams burned on them (I have no idea why they're in there).

-- Two 1 gig flash drives, both of which I got free (one with a stupendous rebate deal, one for answering a survey on digital collections). ETA: Forgot to add they both have copies of all my art pieces for A-Kon. :) I need to burn them to disk so I can clean them off my hard drive, which is starting to wheeze under the weight of all my data.

-- The world's largest collection of irrelevant receipts.

-- Two outdated shopping lists.

-- Lottery tickets from Christmas I haven't redeemed yet, which may be out of date.

-- Five pens, one of which is normal and four of which are funky neon ink from a wedding, where they were supplied for us to write stuff on cards to tie to a tree. I will never ever use them, but they will languish in my bag until one of them explodes all over the irrelevant receipts and I kick myself for not taking them out and throwing them away.

-- A used book by Gervase Phinn I gave my mom for Christmas and stole back this weekend to read myself.

-- My iPod.

-- My phone.

-- An Office Depot membership card that goes on my keychain, but which broke. I was very strident at the clerk at Staples the other day when I went in and he tried to sell me on their free membership, because I have had it up to HERE with membership card, because I have way too many.

-- A receipt from my oil change, on which I scribbled the titles and authors of two books that were discussed on the radio on the way to Houston, since my phone wasn't able to reach Livejournal. (LJ is a great reminder list, as long as I can access the bloody thing.)

because pictures are the ultimate in fun!

- a multitude of notebooks, depending on where i'm going. the sketchbook is hard to carry aroun, the leaf one is newly ripped apart and started anew and the moleskin is 3/4ths of the way done. (but i feel done with it, so it's a *just in case* notebook)

- whatever book i happen to be reading at the moment

- my nintendo ds lite with pokemon pearl or trioncube inside

- my sidekick III (i can't leave home without aim/the internet/full keyboard/text messaging/email/etc. i really really can't. bonus points for paris hilton-esque trendiness)with home fashioned cell phone charms: a death note cross necklace and a kid robot zipper pull!

- two lipbalms (one medicated & one handcrafted i picked up at the local comic shop and art botique - YES THEY ARE IN THE SAME STORE!!!)

- face powder (if i remember, so i don't grease up everything)

- vitmin e oil (this is occasional, it's for my earlobes. sometimes i gotta lube 'em up to stick in a new pair of plugs - i have 1/2 inch earholes!- or if they're sore or i'm working on going larger. it's a divine moment when you can take the time out to massage your earholes, weird but true.)

- rose water (becuase if i'm walking somewhere, it's usually a long walk and i like to be refreshed/not smell. sometimes i swap this for spanish violet perfume, if i have it in a spray bottle)

- ipod/giant headphones (again, depending on where i'm going)

- an assortment of microns and pilot g-2 07's. in various colours. (i like my black microns in 005 - again for writing, you'd think i was an artist with all my absurd writing supplies)

- my keys, which is a giant blue tinkerbell key, some janglies that fell off an old purse, a pippi longstockings doll and some cute yellow bear. (i like designer toys, i won't lie)

- a hair band.


my purse is acient. as i've had it since i was ike 16 (7 years now). i've had it fixed up becuase the strap has fallen off. my friend reminded me i owned this and i was like MAH GOTTA USE IT. other bags of choice are an animu tinkerbell neon raver messenger bag or even just a plain old tan dickies one.


GAHAG I HOPE THAT WAS FUN

If I am ever anywhere near that area of Florida, I am so going there.

heck yeah. it's like 20-30 minutes straight one road drive from my apartment. sometimes i convince my mom to drag me over there. or my friends. because it's a lot of fun to go with people. they had a munny gallery a few months back, it was so rad ;_;
