Day 12 - What’s in your bag, in great detail
I stole this off of
armen because for once I think it might be something interesting from me, as I tend to be very boring in these meme things. I have a need to be prepared, and a very particular idea of what being prepared consists of--usually having things on hands to keep me occupied when I'm idle. I cannot sit still for very long unless focused on something, and sometimes even then--
thecurtain can attest to my knee jogging and how often she smacks me about it when I sit next to her--and while I prefer a small, portable existence I always end up with a large bag of very specific bits and bobs I always keep on hand (unless I don't).
- 1 Sketchbook (often never filled to the last page), 5x4, smooth coat paper, refillable
- 1 Pencilcase (currently MIA, a pencil and an erasure are floating around down there right now), black, and reminiscent of the Japanese one I lost at some point that was purple and I LIKED DANGIT, with several pencils, pencil erasures, refillables, and a few pens
- 1 Wallet (for obvious reasons) that I have had since I started carrying a wallet in middle school, leather, with a broken chain attached
- 1 Japanese Electronic Dictionary, Casio Ex-Word Dataplus 4, (that apparently needs its batteries recharged oops), within its case
- 1 iPod, in case, with connector for the car and earbuds for my personal use and nearly always tangled up horrible
- 1 book, English or Japanese (currently MIA)
- 1 set of car keys plus all other keys (unless I am at home, or driving)on an old snap-hook and more bits and bobs from my mother's supplies
- 1 small purple notebook received as a gift ages ago from a friend, I'm not sure who anymore, used for jotting down whatever I need to jot
and if Photoshooting
- 1 HD/SD Card reader, in case, with 2 Artist Alley buttons keeping watch inside (APH England and APH Austiran Succession Prussia)
- 1 extra lens, whichever isn't on my camera
- 1 Camera, in bag, Canon Rebel, with 50mm 1.5 or kit lens attached
In other words, I am very bad at minimization, and somehow I always end up with a huge bag slung over my shoulder and awkwardly shifting through doorways. That bull in the china shop is me, and the clumsiness tends to add to the mess, though I do try and have yet to cause any true havoc of any kind, much to my relief.
