Author Topic: The Five Things Thread! (Read 20842 times)

Turns out this is a Facebook thing, but since I don't have Facebook I didn't know.

Anyway, it's simple: post pictures of five things you can reach from your desk! You can post more than once--I know that the same five things don't usually stay on my desk for too long. I did this in the Question Game thread, but I won't post pictures of the same five things. Unfortunately, my desk is rather messy at the moment, so I have a lot of options of what I can post.

Commence thread!

My Princess of Pink tiara:

Quote plaque:

Yep!

There are only like ten or twelve fairy tales in it, but it's some of the ones that you know and some of the more scary ones that weren't included in the original Grimm's Fairy Tales books. People thought they might be a bit too scary for children.

But it's really cool! I bought it during Halloween season a few years ago and it's great.

It's interesting seeing what everyone has nearby. It's so typical of your individual personalities!

It's attached to my account so that I have to put in the number it shows before I can log in. Blizzard sells them on their store.

I use Facebook and I didn't know this was a photo meme!

I took actual pictures of my desk. It's quite messy. But here we go anyway.

\
My journal. I love keeping journals. It's a nice venting place for me when I want to keep my feelings private. I've been keeping them pretty consistently since I was 13.

Paper pad and pen. It's rare to find me without a pen on my person. I have an obsession with pens. All different colors.

MY TV. It's a Toshiba with a built in DVD player.

My iHome IPod speaker

My dinner of bagel bites. (I'm aware nine come in a package. I had eaten two by the time I took this picture.)

Let's see what five things we can find:
- an lamp
- an electric razor
- an Nintendo ds
- an teddybear piggy bank
- an alarm clock

that were 5 things, so till next time where we look the other way. (and maybe find some more crap um.. funny things)

LOL, awesome. Why didn't I think of just taking a picture of my desk?

Because I'm too embarrassed by the condition of my desk...I REALLY need to clean it

Enchantermon · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12, 2011, 02:04:56 PM »

Only five things? How can I possibly choose among the enormous and varied selection of crap I currently have?

Well, okay:

1. Broken hard drive

2. Blue "Razzberry" Blow Pop

3. 3D Lego Soccer Field (my own creation)

4. Small box of raisins

5. Packet of mild Border Sauce from Taco Bell

I approve of this thread. When I'm actually at a half-reasonable location (not my dorm) and when my family's move is complete in about a month or two, I may just participate... until that time, I'm gonna be so busy with school work it's not even funny... Either way, it's quite fun to get to know everyone by what's on their desk!
