The reason I never clean my desk is that I value my sanity too much to spend 20 hours sorting loose beads into their containers. Yeah, yeah, I could just tidy up when i finish something… whatever.
I forgot some stuff.

20. Half package of Social Tea biscuits
21. Small package of organic Earl Grey tea
22. Package Strawberry Jam-Filled Marshmallows (really gross)
23. Box of chocolate hazelnut hedgehogs. (Candy, not a bunch of real hedgehogs I’ve filled with… oh, never mind.)
24. Pieces of chainmail
25. Dufflet pastries menu
26. Computer speakers
27. Random pieces of ribbon
28. Pencil

Christ, how big are your desks??
Anyway, an electric stapler, computer monitor, 4 cube speakers, a galileo thermometer, a sound-activated plasma ball, lamp, bar cloth, coke cans with pens in it, a couple of calculators and a couple of tubes of CD-R’s.
Computer monitor, hard drive, and keyboard are all on the desktop. The monitor is sitting on a crate. This leaves no room for anything else. On top of the hard drive are my little webcam type thingy, one of the speakers, and a rubber duckie. On top of the monitor are the other speaker and Dwight D. Eisenhower. The mouse is on a little pull-out thing on one side. The desk was my great-grandmother’s and was made back in the '20s. I don’t know what the little pull-out thing was for when they made it, but now it’s incredibly useful because if it wasn’t there I wouldn’t have anyplace to put my mouse.
The computer I use most often is my mom’s, and this desk has the monitor, speakers, scanner, a tape dispenser that is actually mine and she stole it, a box of floppies, a stack of CD-Roms, a container of CDRs, a joystick, a sheet of Mr. Yuck stickers, the mouse, a plastic container of notepaper, a shoebox full of paperwork, an LED flashlight, the phone book, some stamps, two pens, a hair scrunchie, photogrphas of the dogs and my older sister, eight pug figurines, an orange glass vase shaped like a tongue of flame that I was going to sell on eBay but my mom won’t give me her credit card number so I can set up the seller’s account (even though I was setting up the account at her request), a sheet of paper with a list of Jeeps I want to look at for possible purchase, and a copy of Zoot Suit Riot by the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.
Much too much. Rather than try to list them all, I’ll instead post a picture of what my desk looked like last October. I’m in a new cube now, but all the crap is here, too.
