My Desk is Who I Am

If you ever want to gain better insight into the personality that is me, you only need to glance upon my desk. It can give you so much insight. On my desk are the following:

A coffee mug with the phrase "Innocent Bystander". It's currently holds my scissors. It's symbolic of my sharp wit, I suppose : )-

A mug with the phrase "Mug of the Soon To Be Rich and Famous". In actuality, I'd rather be just rich, not famous. It holds my rulers and some ancient Middle Eastern potshards, given to me by my high school English teacher, who always encouraged my writing. It's there to remind me of other places and people out there -- that my neck of the woods is indeed a small one.

A green M&M character coffee mug, bought from the M&M store in Times Square. It reminds me of the close calls we had while riding in taxicabs to and from Laguardia. A thrilling ride, but not one I'd like to repeat.

A Grad Nite '92 mug, back from the old high school days. It holds some personal notes, including an old note from the first bunch of flowers Dave ever bought me. Reminds me of the good old days with good friends.

A Dr. Evil doll, complete with Mr. Bigglesworth and walkie talkie accessories. When you push the button, he says the following: 1. 2. Throw me a freakin' bone here 3. I'm the boss, need the info. What can I say, I was going through my Austin Power's phase at the time.

A cat lamp, complete with minature cats hanging from the lampshade. A Christmas gift from the in-laws. It was the Christmas I was innundated with cat-themed gifts.

A small green dinosaur with the words, "Long Live Wash" added to it's side. If you are not a fan of Serenity, you will not understand. If you're a Browncoat, you'll shed a tear and sing the themesong from Firefly while getting drunk on Mother's Milk.

A post it note with the phrase, "In the dark where fairy tales live.." It's a phrase I saw somewhere, and really liked. I mean to incorporate it into a story someday.

A siberian husky tape dispenser that doesn't dispense tape very well, but is nice to look at.

A small sign that says, "What would McGyver Do?" I put it on my desk after re-watching all of the classic '80s show McGyver. Richard Dean Anderson was my first love. I was 8 or 9 at the time, and he was the only boy I could tolerate. I loved the fact he was so smart and so handy. I wanted to grow up to be an adventurer just like him.

Pet nail trimmer, which I use to trim papers. Hey, everything should have more than just 1 use. If not, you're not being creative enough. : )

Hey, I never said I was normal. Slightly weird, Yes. Eclectic tastes, Definitely. Somewhat disturbed, possibly. But normal? Never.
