Naked without...

fridgemagnet: cheap-shit fountain pens are far and away the best pens anyway. Them and yellow bics.

mm yeah. Ideally, ones from WHSmiths which take those annoying little cartridges.

I keep so much crap in my pockets, combat trousers were made for me. I was going to a club in Edinburgh and had to empty my pockets. The bouncer got increasingly amused as I took out item after item. Finally, when I'd finished and there was a heap in front of him, he said "who are you supposed to be then? Inspector Gadget?"

So now this is bothering me... expressionless, you carry cigar cutters but not cigars?

19:03 / 01.05.02

New fictionsuit if you ever get sick of fridgemagnet?

19:04 / 01.05.02

Sorry, that was supposed to follow from fridgemagnet's post, and referred to Inspector Gadget. Sorry...

How can you people carry so much stuff? Do you have some sort of pocket dimension or something? If so, where do I get one.

I'm lucky to be able to fit my keys, some change, and an ink pen in my pockets.

19:15 / 01.05.02

i long for a pocket dimension of my very own...>sigh<

19:56 / 01.05.02

Strictly enforced cataloguing system. Wallet in front left, pocketknife (which carries the keys) front right, coin purse rear left, hanky & lighter rear right. Papers for art purposes go with the keys, papers for business with the wallet.

Organization.

oh, and his name is Nyami-Nyami. The necklace.

As has been said, a pen and some paper. I could walk around naked (and have, at that), but I would NEED my pen and paper, perhaps taped to my body somewhereabouts. And ever since I got the brilliant idea to buy one (rather than carrying around dozens of dog-eared scraps of paper w/addresses + phone numbas on 'em), my address book.

Big fat chain thats attached to my wallet, bead braclets one from my mom and one from my dad, two rings silver. when i carry my bag it ALWAYS has in my current sketchbook, my tarot cards, and at least 3 pens.
And if im stressed i have a small rubber 8-ball that i bounce against the wall great escape style
Recently if im not carrying my walking brolly i think ive lost it, untill i realise i never took it with me.
Also if my boots are not laced all the way to the top it just feels odd, and im distracted all day.

Goodness Gracious Meme

watch. for years couldn't stand wearing one. now feel completely weird if I don't have it.

possibly a reaction to ex who didn't have one and used to ask me the time all the time, and resolution never to be that annoying (in quite that way, anyway)

00:37 / 02.05.02

Necklace. Never take it off, not even in the shower.

Lipstick. Just 'cuz.

My friend Milli gave me a ring a few years back (the only piece of jewelry I wear)and recently, I find myself with the sense of missing something when I forget to put it on.

Otherwise, I can't leave my house without - my keys(job relies on them) and some pen and paper (I write and draw everywhere). Other then that, I'm free as a bird ...

03:34 / 02.05.02

My glasses. Mostly cause I'm blind without them, but even when I wear contacts, I feel like my face is bizarrely plain.

03:49 / 02.05.02

"My glasses" -Mazarine in the Mezzanine
That goes for me too.
Also, I insist in carrying a little 3AAA cell LED light.
Go figure.

My belt, not any belt, I got a real thick, leather one (which says "100% Motherfucker" on the back in electric blue) with my big brass belt buckle that reads: "KENT".

I used 'em to cut off some perp's fingers last night. Pigeon squealed after just his pinkies and indexes. Led us straight to Frankie da Fish...

05:40 / 02.05.02

My keys, wallet and watch. I need all three of these items before I can comfortably leave the house. If I'm missing one I feel wierd all day...

Probably my yellow backpack as well. I tend to take it with me, even if its empty and I'm not going to use it.

Y'know, when I posted that picture of Palmolive of The Slits as my mental picture of you, I was going to add "Yeah, my mental pix of you is like Palmolive--but with lots of jewelry (I invision lots of amber necklaces & huge fucking skull rings)" Nice to know I wasn't too far off base.

Well I lost my watch about a month ago and theres still an empty space there, hand feels just a little bit too light. But its also an education in not worrying so much about time.
Also penknife, lost the tweezers but its still the most useful thing I keep on my person, camping, impromtue repairs and parties, always useful :-)

10:44 / 02.05.02

fuck it, I've lost my pen!!!!!

Keys, money 'n' fags.

Actually, that's a bit of a lie, because I don't really feel naked without cigarettes these days - I just need them for most social interactions. And I would have said walkman or discman, but I don't *always* need something to listen to, just if I know I'll be doing a lot of walking around or sitting on public transport on my own (something to read is also required for the latter, unless it's a bus).

Funnily enough, I often feel naked without my bag. Don't know why really - just knowing I've got a conveniant way of carrying 'things' seems to add a degree of security to my life.

I've given up on/lost most of my jewellery, and my watch broke two years ago. I can't really think of anything I wear habitually or keep on me all the time, but I definitely notice when I leave the house without my backpack. My back feels all weird without it once I'm in the open air. The contents of it are variable, but in the top pocket there's always:
3 Juggling balls
Band-Aids
Ephedrine
Emergency feminine stuff
Workout gloves

Somehow I make it all useful.
