9thmoon's Friday questions:

[azurelunatic]

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

When you get home tonight, or sometime this weekend, make a list of everything on your bedside table, and post it here. Or in your own journal. Enquiring minds want to know.
Seriously!
No cleaning up before hand.
Post a picture if you want.

"Bedside table", in my case, was loosely interpreted to mean "that teal/turquoise plastic box sitting where I can dump crap on it.

So.

• One Management 303 take-home quiz from a few tri ago, untouched. Green paper, three-hole-punched.


• One alarm clock, sitting rather cattywumpus


• By the Sword, Mercedes Lackey, paperback, back cover very torn


• The Curse of Chalion, Lois McMaster Bujold, hardback, good condition


• One sizeable plastic zippered bed-in-a-bag bag, containing half a metric assload of yarn


• One Scan-Tron answer sheet for above take-home quiz, similarily untouched.


• One hair-scrunchy, Gordon Dress tartan. (Yes, I looked it up.) [That link is the coolest: you put in the sequence of colors, and it looks up all the patterns it could be.]


• One single-three-prong-outlet-to-triple-three-prong-outlet adapter.


• A goodly amount of low-traffic-area house dust.


• One small and disgruntled cat.

On the other hand, my laptop computer and its environs doubles as my night table (you leave your glasses there, right?) so...

• Blue ribbed scrunchy


• Cheap lip balm, one tub


• Half burned black cherry muse candle


• Nail scissors


• Disposable lighter


• Water bottle


• potentially-broken headphones


• case for above


• A shload of cables and wires, related to computer


• One Dell Latitude CPt laptop, slightly battered


• a coaster


• A pump bottle of expensive lotion that's been passed around more times than the proverbial bag of jellybeans


• More house dust


• chocolate crumbs


• A stack of papers including a nearly-empty 750mL bottle of almond amaretto, confusingly closed with a Vanilla Coke cap instead of the cap it came with (they proved to be interchangeable) and the scan-tron form that should have gotten thrown out when I cleaned the bedside plastic box from the first go-round while noting down all the things there.


• The DSL modem


• a canning jar lid


• a USB hub


• a CD holder containing randoms such as a cellphone case, a cellphone battery, papers, and a plastic figure of Emperor Palpatine as well as CDs

YES! THIS is the gritty detail stuff I am so curious about. Thank you!

*giggle*

Quite a lot of things.

I have, somewhere, a List of Things in Rose's Backpack (at one time or another) for rosalynde.

It was useful for points when you'd have her digging through her backpack and pulling out things in search of something else, as well as an insight to her character.

Yep, I did a "what's in your purse" question once, too, and it was great insight into people.

[azurelunatic]

As I recall, she had love letters from a variety of people, several battered SF books, far too many pens, some empty ketchup packets, scattered salt and herbs in the bottom, what looks to have been a writers' magazine, notebooks in various stages of filled, a mousetrap, and some things that I'm not even sure I want to touch to identify.

Yes, but does she have a lipstick knife? (http://www.pimall.com/nais/lipstick.html)

[azurelunatic]

Ooooh, she would have loved that when she was younger.

Now she just carries a Really Fucking Sharp pen. (micropoint gel pen, metal-tipped, evil).
