Oh Look, A Meme! Five Things On My Desk
Apr. 19th, 2012 09:09 amGanked from many on my flist.
I am not going to include the more mundane things like computer/monitor/keyboard, telephone, desk lamp, printer, scanner, etc. because that stuff is BORING.
1 - Labordorite Bead. It's cracked on one side, thus unsuitable for use. But the unblemished side looks like a butterfly wing, blue/green/gold shimmer in the right light.
2 - Fat Man and Little Boy. Two rather phallic pieces of highly polished picture jasper. More accurately, one should be called Long Dong and the other, the Chode. I like to fiddle with them, practicing my handjob technique. TMI?
3 - Several storage boxes filled with Swarovski crystal beads. I've gone 180 degrees from my preferred materials (natural stone and pearls) in this most recent weaving craze. I used to be such a size queen, now it's all seed beads and 2.5mm bicones.
4 - My father's prayer book. Not surprising it's falling apart, and equally not surprising, it's never been read. This prayer book was issued by the National Union of Jewish Service Men for soldiers and sailors during WWII, and I found it amongst his papers shortly after his death. It's made out of tissue thin paper and the glue holding cover to the spine has dried out. The only page that is dog eared is The Mourner's Kaddish.
5 - A holiday card from a dear friend. It reminds me that I am never alone and I am loved.
