Glow-in-the-dark underwear is fantastic, especially at night.
Last night, one of Amanda's cats (the one with the fondness for unleashing his bladder upon unsuspecting black and/or leather objects)... well, let's just say he gave me incentive to start using the new wallet Kat (my sister) had given me as a birthday gift last week.* For your reading pleasure (gotta love lists!) and to possible provide some greater insight as to who I am (I dunno; but doesn't the contents of one's wallet tell quite a bit about its owner?), here's a run-down of what I found when I cleaned out my old wallet this evening... bear with me, some of this stuff is actually remotely interesting:
Of course, only about a tenth of all that will actually be transferred over to the new wallet; now I'll no longer have a strange, unsightly buldge on my hip!
*=Yes, my birthday's in May, I know; she had originally purchased tickets to Field Day Fest. With that event cancelled, she covered the cost of my ticket to see Ben Folds and Tori Amos two weekends ago at Jones Beach and, on top of that, also bought me a new wallet and CD case for my car... Kat is amazing. I don't write about all the brother-sister fun we have nearly enough.

- 1 ticket stub for the Tori Amos / Ben Folds concert from last month
- My high school library/media center card (never used once)

- Another phone card (this one expired in 1998)
- 1 newspaper clipping from the second time I was in Newsday (for my NASA award-winning essay in 2001... my first mention in Newsday, f.y.i., was when I was among a few hundred who won tickets to a circus as a prize in a coloring contest in 1st or 2nd grade.)

- Annnnnnnnnnnd six American dollars. That's it.
Of course, only about a tenth of all that will actually be transferred over to the new wallet; now I'll no longer have a strange, unsightly buldge on my hip!
