10 Things

I'm bored and can't sleep. Damn pregnant belly and mooshed bladder. Oh well. So for my personal entertainment, I shall post a random list. Lists = Fun! :)

10 Things I wouldn't want to live without, in no particular order. I could live without them, but then what would be the point? :)

1. Bleach Pen-- Awesome. I don't have many white clothes, but I do have plenty of clothes with white on them, and I seem to have some sort of magnetic properties when it comes to stains. If it weren't for my bleach pen, I would have thrown away about half my wardrobe by now.

2. Spray butter-- As in "I can't believe it's not butter spray" With just this, lemon juice, and a little salt and pepper, I can make the best barbecued chicken in the world (a fact supported by everyone who has come to one of my barbecues).

3. Throw blankets-- I have a weird obsession with blankets. Anything really soft and fuzzy, or with a neat design, or some other novel feature (I have a fuzzy lime green blanket with the texture of a poodle), I have to have. I've gotten more blankets on clearance at Hottopic than most people have bought in their entire lifetimes.

4. Wireless Mice (Mouses?)-- I'm left handed (I'm a left-handed activist. That's right. I feel that us southpaws should band together to battle our right-handed oppressors. Do you know how hard it is to find a good left handed can opener or scissors? I rest my case.) and several other people use my computer on a regular basis. They all use their right hands to mouse (even my left handed brother... traitor!) and it's very handy to be able to move the mouse around the desk without dealing with a bunch of cords. Also good for long online gaming sessions where you get lazy and put a book on your lap with the mouse on it so you can slouch in the chair.

5. Parenthesis-- This is pretty self explanatory if you've read anything else I've written. :)

6. Shoeboxes-- I adore organizing things. Shoeboxes are fantastic for this purpose, and have the added bonus of being a generally uniform shape and size, good for stacking multidious (I'm pretty sure that's not a real word) shoeboxes in cupboards for maximum organizational fun.

7. Office supplies-- I always loved going back to school for the sole reason that I got to go shopping for school supplies. There is nothing better than organizing a fresh binder or opening a new notebook and writing in it for the first time.

8. Snapple Peach Iced Tea-- Tasty refreshing bliss.

9. Sharpies-- Need I have a reason? Sharpies are wonderful. It's great to take them along on roadtrips (when I'm not driving), to concerts, or anywhere that I'll be sitting still for a long time. I make fantastic "tattoos" on myself or others that come out looking really neat. (and yes my mother has told me on countless occasions that I'm going to get ink poisoning.) They wash off really easily (hint: hand sanitizer or other alcohol based product works wonders. just slather up the area, rub with a washcloth, and then wash with soap and water.) Example from my trip to Ozzfest:


10. Bittorrent-- I am poor. I am cheap. I'd almost never get any new music if it weren't for Bittorrent. Yes, I know, I'm a horrible person and a pirate. Actually, that's pretty cool-- Arrggggg. I'm a pirate :p
