Here’s a cute one from Dave at Blogography who says there’s a ‘thing’ out there challenging people to photograph their desks and put it out there for public scrutiny.  I don’t think I’d be game enough to participate, but after seeing his desk… I feel positively anal retentive and therefore more willing to share mine 🙂  So here goes:

1       Ridiculously expensive graphics tablet that I dont need but totally love
2       Photo taken in 1982 of me and my sisters in primary school
3       Blue globe crystal paperweight purchased in Prague in 1995
4       List of potential naughty domain names for Yale
5       Vibrating rubber ducky present from the Humbibble last birthday
6       Inevitable nail polishes that seem to cluster about the house
7       Ticket stubs from Pavarotti Farewell Tour from Nov 2005
8       Left over useless Pakistani money from last June
9       Oakely Frogskins that have followed me around the world
10    Tease – Beat of the Burlesque CD I bought from Amazon two weeks ago
11    Ridiculously expensive neg scanner for neglected slide scanning project
12    Bad Taste Bear eating Tequila worm from TQ party 2006
13    Lipbalm No 42 -also in my car, key bowl, bedside table, skipping girl bags
14    Ottoman (or poofe) purchased at Eumundi Markets in Oct 2000 on trip
15    Desk painstakingly hand finished by yours truly – damage by MrK
16    Box of Australian Army matches from my cadet days circa 1988
17    Marioni pewter hourglass desk accessory – don’t ask 😐
18    Marble bookends (acquired by returning 3 Pictionary wedding gifts)
19    Ridiculously expensive Samsung Syncmaster 930MP monitor/tax dodge
20    Starfish specimen in a box
21    Assorted dictionaries and etymology related books
22    Glass mushrooms from Salamanca Markets in Hobart purchased 1994
23    Carved apple made from Banksia timber gift from Mum’s WA holiday
24    Shitty ADSL2 modem… God I miss my cable
25    Decorative but useless lamp

So all up my desk isn’t too untidy… there’s some old business cards, some Swarovski crystal stars bought from the Crystal Castle coming back from the Old Church, my mum’s old recipe books, an overdue phone bill, a blue tooth dongle, a Waterman pen bought on impusle in Canberra Nov 2005, a rock picked up on the Gallipoli Penninsula and some CDs.

I know there’s a saying about a messy desk being a sign of a creative mind… but what does it say if your desk is one where everything has it’s place?
