petroniaList everything that's on your computer desk! I know we all have messy desks, but try to get everything. You can tell a lot about a person from their clutter.
(screen, keyboard, mouse, speakers) x 2, empty glass, two small pieces of blank paper, a jar containing pens and pencils, my USB memory key, and a tangerine-flavoured lip gloss jar.
...You think that's minimalist, you should see the rest of the house. As an exercise I will list everything that's on my (quite large) desk at work during the day, by memory:
screen, keyboard, mouse, headphones, telephone (one of those office kinds with five buttzillion buttons I can't operate), plastic tray containing pens and paper clips and such, stapler, kleenex box, bag/hat/scarf, employee ID, USB memory key, legal file holder, Dreamweaver MX user guide, two mugs, tin of tea, box of drink packets (hot cocoa, chrysanthemum crystals, that sort of thing), bag of Polish chocolate-covered chewy gingerbread hearts (with strawberry jam in the middle). The rest of the surface is covered with printouts.
EDIT -- Just watched Initial D Battle Stage, which I'd never gotten around to doing. ...Pornography, that's all I can say. Nonstop hot action baybee. There was a time I used to be completely baffled when the characters went off about countersteer and line and whatnot, but now it makes total sense. Suspect it has something to do with the fact that when I first watched Initial D I didn't uhh know how to drive a car. Still it's a bit odd, like listening to the ending theme of Fushigi Yuugi or something and remembering what it was like to not know what the individual words meant.
Last week I finished reading the manga to date, FTR. That is, up to the end of volume 30 in Chinese, and WHERE IS THE END OF KEISUKE'S RACE WTF SHIGENO WHY ARE YOU SO SLOOOOOOW. The random short at the end of 30 was the funniest shit I've read in a while, though.
Random ricer (desperate sotto voce): Dude, why are you pissing him off? Do you have any idea WHO HE IS OMG? Are you trying to make an enemy of every street racer, motorcycle gang member and general up-to-no-goodist within ten miles of Mount Akagi!?
Keisuke: ...Hey, where are you going? Don't run away! WHY ARE YOU ABANDONING ME WITH THIS WOMAN? *chases after them in car*
Random girl: Whee! It's like riding a roller coaster!
Random ricers: *drive off road into bushes, kill lights*
Keisuke: *SO VERY PUZZLED*
Kenta: *goes back to bed*
