~Figured it'd be a good time to answer this one as it's actually sort of clean for once. Ok, besides the computer and it's parts:

*my little pouch wallet thing
*a little glass jar with push pins and coins in it
*a rock
*a tiny turtle with a bouncing head? (E gave that to me the other day. It's cute).
*a flattened and rusted bottle cap
*two small earings (not matching)
*a tin with pens, pencils and paintbrushes
*chapstick
*software
*a lightbulb (just laying there?)
*thesaurus and dictionary
*two cans of air spray? (lilac and lavender)
*pile of loose BW photographs
*a battery
*a plate with fork, knife and leftover dinner
*and a pictionary hourglass timer thing.

~Think that's it. I sound like a slob huh? It's not that bad really. *Peace.

So?  Two years later?  What's on your desk now?  Anything that resembles what you listed from your earlier notes?

I didn't participate, and two years ago my current desk didn't even exist...I have a bigger desk now...so consequently, anything I had before has been added to, had I a list to begin with...

cute thread...so....on the TOP of my desk [only]

a glass hutch with shelves [which contains a LOT of stuff I won't even mention]
a scanner
my original journel of hand-written poetry
a shorthand notebook
some material for meter to take to Prairie Inkswells' next meeting
my glasses
a rock
two speakers
monitor
a feathered pen and holder
three photographs of family members
calendar
three shells
one small dish
one bigger small dish holding...rocks
a hemp coaster
mousepad
mouse with no tail
calculator
two bottles of nail polish
one container of nail polish remover
one tiffany lamp
one antique nib pen and marble holder
one ceramic pen holder with pens, pencils, scissors, felt pen and letter opener
one printer
one small TV
soft eyeglass holder
one VCR tape
one plugin for recharging cell phone

I have not seen the top of my desk in months. Not only that, but if I were to inventory all the stuff on it, I would take up about two pages in a Word document.... Times New Roman, font size 10.

I'll give you a small sampling.
PENS! LOTS OF PENS!
Several lighters
A hackey sack from Dan...
My prayer rock from SEMP
Several books, among which is included All I Really Needed To Know I Learned in Kindergarten (which I'm not even sure how I aquired)
A copy of Marx Brothers Go West and A Night At The Opera (on the same tape)
A graphing calculator
A two-year-old calendar which I found buried under a pile of... well.... STUFF!
Toothpaste? Why is there toothpaste on my desk? (Yes, it's in a tube.... Although I did have to double check to make sure... )
Assorted dishes
Email addresses without names attached
Perscription sunglasses
Toothpicks (I love my toothpicks. They're great fun. )
The Braveheart soundtrack
Several CDs
A very old report card
An invoice from my school district for $50! WEEHOO! (That's fairly recent.... as in two months ago...)
An apple shaped stress ball from the Canadian Ministry of Education from Ms. Byrne
The case for my perscription sunglasses
A doorknob from Ms. Morgan's portable
Scissors
A twist tie (badly used)
The tie from the hood of my hoodie
Dried lavender (in a vase of sorts)
My dad's three-hole-punch
A goldish snake belt thing that I used to wear around my neck for fun
An HTML color code
etc, etc, etc....

Wow.

It's a family desk... are you interested in my actual desk? It's a double desk, and you don't want to know.

On this one, a movie, a DVD (Gangs of New York), some gloves for me tomorrow) and a note on how I can take care of a speeding ticket. Oh, a fern and a dolphin glove.

I can hardly see the desk, but we'll give it a go.

There's a filing cabinet to the left, which serves as an extention of the desk.

~ Printouts that no-one ever collects.
~ Expanding file.
~ Boxes of floppy disks.
~ 3x5 cards and box.
~ Misc paperwork.
~ Toy kookaburra.
~ Toy bilby.
~ Printer ink.

Okay, the desk itself...
~ Notepaper.
~ Invoice book.
~ Deposit book.
~ More floppy disks.
~ Book called "Queensland's Country Roads, Bush Pubs and Beaches".
~ Speaker.
~ Monitor, webcam on top of monitor, keyboard.
~ More unclaimed printouts.
~ Other speaker.
~ Mousepad and mouse.
~ More floppies.
~ Scanner.
~ Lamp.
~ Joystick.
~ CDs.

Wow, had no idea there was so much junk here!
