I’ve got a pair of fluffy dice and never been pulled over. I’m thinking of removing them, though, since they keep bouncing around and blocking my view. ---

Nothing. They’re distracting. I do however have a mother-in-law imposed St. Christopher dash medallion. ---

Two Mardi Gras beads (gold and purple), and Buttercup from the Power Puff Girls. I suppose I should get my red and black high school graduation tassle up there, but I am always cautious against leaving any valuable things (to me) in my car, as I park my car out on the curb next to our house. ---

Five air fresheners: 2 pine scented trees, one new car scented tree, one bearing the likeness of Yosemite Sam, and one shaped like a leaf bearing a scent that I cannot identify at all. I’ve also got my high school graduation tassel up there, although I should probably remove it, as it’s a little old; the little gold numbers proclaim '92. Usually, once something goes up on my rearview, it’s there for the duration. ---

A glow-in-the-dark alien that I bought for $1.98 at Wall Drug, South Dakota. It’s a momento from one of the best roadtrips ever. Anyone who has been there knows that I just _had_ to buy something! ---

A rubber tag from something at structure…Didn’t actually buy the clothes, but I took the tag…does that make me a bad person? –==the sax man==– “5 people in a civic with a video camera is a whole lot of stupid waiting to happen!” ---

I had pink fuzzy dice for a while, but I donated them to my friend Adam who needed to spruce up his little corolla. It added personality. I had my high school tassle, but the string broke, and I never bothered to fix it. So I just tossed it in the glovebox. Now all I have is a minituare Eeyore christmas ornament. My sister gave him to me when I moved out, and I thought he was cute. He’s my mascot. ---

A little plastic figure of Mojo Jojo, and a crescent moon smelly thingy. Smells like candy…mmmmmm. Would like to put my Buttercup beanbag doll on my dash but I know some punk would steal it. ---

I have a brushed gold looking parking permit for the summer. Yay. I used to have on my old car a 5 yen coin hanging from a thread. For some reason it fell off, and got lost. ---

College graduation tassel, random feather I found, and a pewter pendant of the Green Man. I used to have a plastic gold Japanese dragon that my Japanese roommate gave me, but the cord broke, so now it sits on the dash with a large seashell and a Popcorn Fork (quite possibly the most interesting thing in my car). ---
