Empty Your Pockets, Please

chrisglass posted a picture of the items he carries around each day, and the link to a flickr group called, appropriately, The Items We Carry, where a few hundred people have shared their items.

So here's mine, arranged by how they are carried from left to right.

Left Wrist: Fossil Watch bought at the San Marcos Fossil Outlet after Hurricane Rita and ACL Festival 2005. I've owned many Fossil Watches and like ones with leather straps. this is the first square-faced watch I've owned. At one time I tried carrying a pocket watch, but it was inconvenient.

Left Front Pant Pocket: Cell phone with internet capabilities. I haven't purchased a case or holder for this thing, so it ends up in the pocket.

Head: Glasses. These are a year and a half old, and the frames are a dark blue. I've worn glasses since I was eleven. One pair I had about 15 years ago looked like the glasses from Sally Jessie Raphael

Right Back Pant Pocket: Keys. includes car, house and storage facility keys plus some other old ones that don't go to anything now, but make good box openers. There's a few of those awful "rewards" cards. the ones for supermarkets are in my mother's name, sometimes I get an over 55 discount.

Right Front Pant Pocket: Chris bought me this wallet for Christmas last year. I've always carried my wallet in the front pants pocket. It stems from when I got my first wallet to go on a church youth group to DisneyWorld. I had heard about pickpockets before it and thought I could protect my wallet better up front. There it stayed.

Right Ring Finger: This ring is from the Texas Renaissance Festival, purchased about four years ago to replace the fraternity ring I wore for several years. Since I tend to think the frat ring has spacial properties that keep me safe in the car, it stays in the glove compartment.

My iPod, not pictured, or my camera aren't things I carry everyday, so they weren't included.
