Real exciting stuff.
Maybe one day I'll have good handwriting! 12-04-2011 6:59 PM
I keep filling the computer desk with random crap:
Left Drawer 1: paper clips, binder clips, notepards from hotels I've never been to, bind clips, silver + gold pens, matches from hoetls and restaurants I've never been to, more note paper, one safety pin, one rubber ban, huge-ass paper clip, a mystery object, and some tray to hold it all.
Left Drawer 2: loose pencils + pens, old paper doll-like drawings in a plastic container w/ no lid
Left Drawer 3: nothing. previously unopenable.
Left Drawer 4: nothing. only opens ~4 inches
Middle Drawer: wooden pencil holder thing, scissors, 2 cans of compressed air, paper clips in a wooden magnetic holder thinig, stapler, glue, faux-wood plastic "pencil tray" (1999), plastic ruler, huge-ass dictionary.
Right Drawer 1: envelopes marked w/ my mom's [address labels], 2 envelopes too small to mail, a bunch of 1'' by 1'' envelopes (I have no idea what they're for), "INK ERADICATOR FOR PAPER AND CLOTH" and "INK ERASER FOR PAPER AND CLOTH" from the 60's (probably), pencil tray with various writing utensils, loose writing utensils (including a liquid pencil!)

Right Drawer 2: a box of staples, a wet wipes container full of more staples, one push pin, loose staples, two packages of recipe index cards from the 60s (probably), a bunch of labels (blank), weird plastic container of pipe cleaners, organizer thing with two rolls of clear tape and "gummed cloth reinforcements (probably from the 60s) and a lighter, spray furniture polish, and a container of incense.
Right Drawer 3: an empty box of "Religious Assortment" cards (from Dad, years ago) and a square wooden container thing holding a label maker
Right Drawer 4: envelopes. So many envelopes. And a few postcards.
I should be writing a letter. But while I'm at it, I might as well list the things on top of the desk: lamp (not big enough), plastic paint pallette, now expired Hobby Lobby coupon, 3 bottles of paint (one white, one gold, one glossy dark blue), two paintbrushes, overstuffed "writing folder," letter from Rachel w/ stickers, plastic container holding 4 "D" batteries, unwanted mixtape, REM "Document" cassette, CD player, mp3 player, cheap headphones, speakers, incense burner on top of 11 CDs (Bowie - Aladdin Sane, Iggy Pop - Lust for Life, The Clash - Combat Rock, Test Patterns [BDR Record St. Louis punk comp.], Bowie - Ziggy Stardust, The Plugz - Electrify Me, Gun Club - Fire of Love, Wire - Pink Flag, Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets, Bauhaus - The Sky's Gone Out), pencil case (boring contents), stationery box thing (contents numerous), topped with too many address labels, stickers, and too few stamps, "RADIO CASSETTE RECORDER WITH DIGITAL MUSIC PLAYER" (less useful than it sounds), a sheet of badly typed Clash lyrics and a CD/coaster thiing. Oh, and my shitty beat up phone. Maybe one day I'll tell you about the sewing machine/desk, but now I'm out of paper (that's an excuse).
I was going to make a chart, but there was too much stuff. Also, this post does not have enough typewriters.
