what's in my inventory

I am not immune to trends. Absurd Pirate hosts this month's blog carnival with the theme What's In My Inventory? - "a mix of the Every Day Carry or 'Loot Drop' internet trend, in which people can talk about what they [carry] on their person every day, or what they would drop if they were a video game character and died."

The Drop

YES my shoulder does hurt from carrying all this around regularly, but I find
it very important to be able to entertain oneself no matter location or circumstance.

โ˜† THE BAG ITSELF: a childhood relic
โ˜† KEYS: car, house, bicycle lock, gym pass, dragon
โ˜† BURNER PHONE: a SIM-less phone I use as an iPod
โ˜† iPOD MINI: an iPod I use as an iPod
โ˜† EMERGENCY SOCKS
โ˜† E-READER: feat. current read, If on a winter's night a traveler by Italo Calvino
โ˜† SUNGLASSES: stolen from a friend naturally
โ˜† WALLET: containing a cumbersome \$2.92
โ˜† MONKEES PLAYING CARDS1: once belonging to my mother in the 60s
โ˜† AIRPODS
โ˜† BIC LIGHTER2
โ˜† MY EX'S FIVE-YEARS-EXPIRED DRIVER'S LICENSE3: doesn't everyone carry this?
โ˜† JOURNAL & PEN
โ˜† TWO (2) BOBBY PINS
โ˜† TWO (2) STAR-SHAPED HAIR CLIPS
โ˜† ONE (1) SAFETY PIN
โ˜† YOYO: performative! I cannot actually yoyo. I carry this around so I can practice and to challenge others' ability to yoyo when questioned.
โ˜† AN ADDITIONAL 26ยข: sum total \$3.18
โ˜† DICE (5): for yahtzee, never gambling
โ˜† ONE (1) SCRUNCHIE
โ˜† ALTOIDS TIN: containing another beige lighter, three (3) Band-Aids, and Aquaphor


  1. The most valuable item in the loot drop when I die is the Joker card, by the way↩

  2. Beige is the superior color for a lighter. Unobtrusive. Chic.↩

  3. I should add, we are friends and I carry this around because I had actually meant to regift it to him for his birthday but forgot. One day I will remember... ↩
