Stuff upon stuff
- Wallet.
- Tissues.
- Lip balms. I always have at least two, sometimes three or four. Currently: Guarana and Cocoa Butter (from Etsy).
- Pain killers.
- For some inexplicable reason, Euros. Why do I have foreign currency when I haven't left the country in over a year? Though I think the even bigger question is why did I put them back?!
- Hair tie.
- Compact.
- Keys to my friend's place (she asked me to keep a set at home in case she ever got locked out. That was probably a year ago and they still haven't left my purse).
- Car key.
Other things I always carry, but in my pockets instead of my purse: cell phone and house keys.
I've been looking for a new purse for quite a while, because my current one is ridiculously small. Which is why I hardly carry anything (and why my version of this meme is so pathetic).
A few of my favorite things I've picked up from my flist in the past few months:
Via oxoniensis: WallMaster. I used to use a different wallpaper changer, but I hadn't acquired a new one since I got my new computer (and was just using a very boring default wallpaper), but this freeware has me hook, line and sinker.
I think my favorite part about it is that you can change the properties for each wallpaper, so for instance, you can have a right-aligned wallpaper with a peach background (to match the peach on the left of the wallpaper) to achieve this:

Or center it and use a complimentary background:

Or, you can tile the wallpaper:
by dafnap
(I'm pretty sure. It's a very very very old one. That I still love. HAAAARVEY!)

Well, you get the idea. I pretty much always have to "fix" any wallpaper I use because I use such an odd screen resolution (1366x768px).
Via txvoodoo: Append your gmail address to create however many different addresses you want.
So, you can have an address like yourname+spam@gmail.com to give out to any site you don't want emails from (or who you suspect might sell it to spammers) and then create a filter for emails to that address go directly into the spam folder. Personally, I mostly use it to automate tags, so that +etsy emails get the etsy tag, +paypal emails get the paypal tag, etc.
Nifty!
