Oct. 25th, 2001 08:23 pmWALLET: Tattered black old wal-mart special. I used to use a really cool hand-me-down from my great-grandpa, but I had to retire it for fear that it might disintegrate on me.
HAIR-BRUSH: No need, due to my Moby-esque do.
TOOTHBRUSH: Some kind of generic Oral-B knockoff. blue and white and getting too old. It gets the job done, though.
JEWELRY WORN DAILY: None. I've never been a jewelry wearer, for whatever reasons.
PILLOW COVER: A blue/green plaid thingy.
COFFEE CUP: Not a coffee drinker. My mug for other purposes is an old Chicago Cubs one.
SUNGLASSES: I haven't had any in forever, since I never wear my contacts anymore. The coolest pair I ever had cost 3 bucks at a gas station. They were shiney and silver and bugeyed, and fit my head just right, which is a rarity. I lost them when I left them in the grass at a pickup soccer game my senior year of high school.
SHOES: A mix of old indoor soccer kicks and chuck taylors.
NAILPOLISH: nope. occasionally in high school, when I was always around bored chicks who liked to paint other people's nails.
KEYCHAIN: A mini soccer ball, plus a free promo keychain from a cubs game. 11 keys. 2 for the blazer. 1 for the bike lock, 2 for the house front door(bolt and knob), 1 for my room door. 1 for my dad's business. 1 for my house back in Mattoon. 2 lab and building keys from my old job that I need to return sometime soon here. 1 to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Ok, so ten keys, really.
COMPUTER: A heavily upgraded and abused old Dell optiplex Gs+ 200. With lots of neat stickers and graffiti on it.
FAVORITE TOP: I like some of my goofy t-shirts more than others. My Tick shirt, and my Atom and His Package "Go Metric Now" shirt are favorites. I also have a worn corduroy jacket that I bought for a quarter and wear incessantly, because it's really badass.
FAVORITE PANTS: I wear the crap out of a pair of grey Lee Dungarees, because they're spacious and comfortable and well broken-in.
SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER: Usually that cheapo Suave stuff. Kills two birds w/ one stone and all that.
PERFUME: I'm starting to think this survey was directed more at those of the female persuasion, but when have I ever been one to respect gender classifications? Anyway, no cologne, which I guess would be the male equivalent or something. And perfume on most women sucks too, because they always use too much. Subtlety, people.
CDS IN THE STEREO: before: Marvin Gaye - Greatest Hits now: Pearl Jam - Vs on deck: Fugazi - The Argument
CAR: A '90 chevy blazer, grey, rusting around the edges, 124k+ miles. Still truckin after 7 years together.
TELEVISION: In storage somewhere at home. I've got a tuner card in the dell that I use now and again, mainly for news, simpsons, and baseball.
STEREO: A nice Pioneer receiver and 100 disk changer, but w/ crappy speakers salvaged from various shelftop systems. I sort of ran out of money midway through the building of my system. But, it works fine for now, when I only have a relatively small room to deal with anyway.
TELEPHONE: I don't even have one in my room right now. The phone and I are on uneasy terms. When necessary, I use one of the cordless phones lying around the house.
CELLPHONE: Nope. I might succumb someday, once they come up with a good cellphone/pda combo, but I certainly won't leave the bastard turned on all of the time.
PRINTER: Compaq inkjet knockoff. Doesn't work very well, but, well, I never print anything unless I have to to turn it in anyway.
DESK: Ancient and massive particle-board computer desk. It holds the pc, monitor, stereo, and lots of other crap with slightly-sagging aplomb.
