things we carry


I was thinking about how I always carry my bag with me, and what I always have in it and how much I love all of those things. And what those things do or don't say about me. For the most part, people carry the same sort of things, but I think we all have at least a few things that only we carry with us day and day out.

I always carry:
  • my red moleskine (for sketching and writing, which I also use for all of my classnotes and roughdrafts)
  • a tiny, little hellokitty notebook (which I use as an agenda)
  • pens (at least two different colored inks)
  • whatever book I'm reading/looking through at the time (currently Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann)
  • a little marie antoinette pillbox from the Louvre (which houses birth control pills)
  • various tea bags
  • two tiny bottles of oil fragrance: one I bought in France and one my dad bought me in Salem
  • my iPod nano (which I never remember to charge)
  • an accumulation of receipts I forget to throw away & fortune cookie fortunes
  • hairties, at least one hairbow, and chapstick (hellokitty strawberry!)
  • film, empty cannisters of film, cannisters with film to be developed
  • ray bans
  • wallet, keys, lighter(s) and I would say my phone if I didn't always forget it.

I sometimes also carry:
  • BUBBLEGUM, mint gum, mentos, candy, etc. (a LOT of the time)
  • my digital camera/my fish-eye camera/my oktomat camera/my polaroid camera
  • nat sherman fantasias
  • a scarf/shawl
  • two different shades of red lipstick (I never have just one at a time)
  • my nintendo ds
  • crayons/colored pencils
  • dried berries (for energy)

Mmmmmmm. Someone tell me what you carry!

saaal: YOU'RE A CIGAR SMOKER AND A BARCARDI DRINKER? i'm shocked.

sal said...

oh lord, yeah to both. why so shocked?

i just recently started smoking cigars( last semester) don't really smoke a lot, smoked maybe 4 or 5 cigars since i've started.

bacardi, only because it's in a small flask bottle.

this is why we should chat/talk/hangout more.
