  • I thought I'd skip the entry about the contents of my refrigerator, since I eat the most boring food ever, and go straight to my junk drawer.

    A great deal of the things in here aren't exactly junk, per se. Many of them are items of sentimental value, some too personal to show (ie, pictures of other people and letters written to me), but here are some of the interesting things (clockwise from top to center...somewhat):

    1. Various pictures, some of when I was young (check out the clothes, I was emo even when I was little).
    2. A hematite bead necklace that I keep meaning to put back together, but never remember.
    3. A really nice pocket watch that doesn't work.
    4. My old pager. I hated this thing. I still do. I hate cell phones too.
    5. Guitar pics.
    6. My post card collection, exclusively punk bands and 50's/60's pin up girls.
    6a. The Betty Paige postcard, nude with leopards (or maybe it's cheetahs).
    6b. Handwritten post card from Guy P.(of the band Fugazi)
    7. Condoms, including a colored one that I'll never use...it's pink.
    8. A left handed crescent wrench.
    9. The Satanic Jacket Hanger, or The Goat Headed Coat Hanger.
    10. A samurai sword letter opener.
    11. Little vial thing, made of brass and glass. I have no idea where this came from, but I think it's neat.
    12. My foot.

  • Wow. You keep your foot in your junk drawer?

  • Seriously, I have the exact same katana letter opener, Betty postcard, and weirdest of all, a hematite necklace in a baggie, awaiting repair...what does this say about us?

    The main junk drawer in the house is technically in the kitchen, but I think if you open any drawer in this place you will find some sirt of junk stashed away. The Professor and I are both secretive little packrats and we're constantly tucking things away in drawers and forgetting about them.

  • cheetas, not leopards.  leopards are way more square jawed and they dont just have spots, they have rosets which are black spots in a circle surrounding a tannish spot that is darker than their normal fur color.

    your resident wild cat expert...

    ;)

    there are leopards in my novel!  more reason to read it!  yeah!

  • wow. i found that utterly fascinating...like snooping, only invitedly so.

    and you were about the cutest kid ever. were you wearing cords?

  • Aww! DemeteresDaughter took my punch line! HA!

    Being a foodie, I really want to see what's in the fridge!

  • What's wrong with pink? And I could hook you up with some flavoured condoms, if you want...

  • I'm so nosy, and this post is right up my alley.  And, I don't mean that in a dirty way.

    By the way, I am digging the audio here.

  • I have a foot fetish.  Your big toe is so fucking hot.  Let's go put those condoms to good use. 

  • yay! a sneak peek..i like your feet, or toes i should say..;) junk drawers are funny, i have a junkbox :|

    and you were such a cute kid, dig those shoes.

  • cheetahs, yea

  • My grandparents had the same letter opener. I used to love playing with it.

    Your junk drawer has cool stuff in it.

    Good lord this is a boring comment...

  • i hate cell phones too...actually i just hate when people call at the most inconvenient times...

  • rubbers smell bad.

  • hmm, could I suffice to say that every drawer I own is a junk one? nah. yours has funky stuff though. probably beats all of mine combined... now what does that say about me?

  • What a fun post! I just retrieved a couple of treasure boxes from my parents' house.

  • Cool site Check mine out!

  • cool stuff =)  and yep, everybody has their potpourri drawer ('cept all the one at my house has are some rubber bands, loose change, random pieces of paper, the like.

    btw, referring to your previous entry... you're a great writer =) "I want that high, like the first time I realized what I was reading wasn't only a good story, but beautiful in the way the words ran together, flowed and flowered. Each syllable reflecting and refracting the way a rapid running river plays with sunlight."  truly beautiful writing breaks your heart.

    take care

  • well everyone has already covered all the bases of what i was going to comment on, so i'll just say that i'm out of town, at a friend's house, and therefore this is my sole means of communicating with you.

    just wanted to say 'hi'. that's all. talk to you later.

  • i always keep a spare 1/3 of a foot in my junk drawer... never know when you need one of THOSE!

  • Pink condoms are cool, man.

    Now, I gotta find one of those letter openers.

  • Woah, you sure have a lot of stuff. Ever consider cleaning it up, throwing some of it out, or making some of it decoration? I mean you could put the photos in an album or frames, throw stuff away that you don't need, and just clear out most of the drawer... that's a lot of stuff. I think I would go nuts if I saw your junk drawer in person seeing that I am a neat/clean freak.

  • wow you can confine your junk to a drawer?? i'm so jealous i have a closet... i need to pare down.. but it's all so vital

  • mmmmmmm....your feet i find soooo stimulating and mmmmmmm....sexy...touching myself now....

  • wise not to use the pink condom. A friend of mine stayed at her boyfriend's one night and when they went to her mom's for breakfast the next morn, friend said "WTF?? Why is my hand green?) Wise mom said, "Erm...what color condom did you use last night?"

    Cool stuff. Devastatingly creative post.

  • i love your site...you make the weirdest stuff interesting!

    and frejaluna is right...the audio here kicks ass.

    what is it with swordy looking letter openers? i've got one...but its more like a golden medival sword-type-thing...in...A STONE! and the one who pulls it out gets free stationery!

    holy shiznat...i need sleep.

  • I really can't think of anything important to say, but I feel compelled to post.

  • I wanted to comment on your writing in your previous entry...when it was featured on the front page of Xanga, I decided to go here and subscribed to your journal because I realized what a fabulous writer you are!  The way you describe things in detail...for example, the way you have trouble sleeping?  It's just AMAZING.

    And oh yeah...I want that hot left handed crescent wrench! ;)

  • pink condom? hell yes.

  • i like your page. and the pictures u took.. im so intrigued with pictures im sorry. but yeah... the way u layed out everything and just snapped a shot. it's cool! =D keep up the good work..

  • Hahahaha that's the perfect junk drawer.  Something for everything.

  • LOL you are neat.

  • my favorite piece of junk is number 12

  • Is it me, or has Betty Paige got a really wonky left boob...?

  • I bet you'd look cute in pink

    Or not...

  • aw lots of little memories that are fun to visit inside junk drawers.

  • the letter opener reminds me of samurai jack. love that show.

  • You're the first not boring thing I've stumbled upon in a while. You have no idea how much I love you for that.
