My school laptop that is never used as intented.

• The Miku stickers were a gift from my friend.
• I hastily put together the design on the back. It looks ugly but I don't have the desire to create a better arrangement.
• The profile picture has been there since 9th grade. It is from an old Don Hertzfeldt doodle.
• The missing key on the keyboard is located where the Copilot key would be, I ripped it off in some dumb form of protest.

The binder that holds the many papers I was given in class.

• When I picked this one out I enjoyed the color sceme. Now I feel it is bordering obnoxious.
• This binder is slowly getting heavier as the school year progresses.
• I enjoy how because it's a zip up binder, the papers are safe from any form of corner-creasing.

The half-used workbook I attempt to scribble notes into.

• I add hand mirror doodles onto the cover once every blue moon.
• This workbook came split into three parts, I labled the tabs "GENE NOTE", "GENE PROJ", and "MATH 6" respectively.
• The plastic dividers between each section can hold papers, I really enjoy that feature.

Books I have been attempting to read. From left-to-right: Genderqueer by Maia Kobabe, A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers, The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus, The Restaurant At the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams.

• I have been trying to become a reader for awhile and just started up again recently.
• I read Genderqueer for a Banned-Books-Book-Club in my english class. I have read through it multiple times for this project by now.
• I read A Psalm for the Wild Built for a book club me and some friends of mine started.
• I am reading The Myth of Sisyphus because my girlfriend said it would be a good read. I trust her enough to power through it, I am only at page 26 right now though.
• I am reading The Restaurant At the End of the Universe because I am trying to get through the Hitchhikers series. I am at page 138 right now.
• I am a slow reader.

My pride and Joy, my sketchbook.

• Started January 23rd 2025.
• The stickers on the front are all gifts. The Lunchbox Kids stickers were sent to me from Mikey, the barely visible Miku was a gift from a friend of mine.
• This sketchbook has yet to be filled, it is practically stuffed to the brim at this point though, I tape too many of my doodles onto the pages.
• I put too much effort into the pages of this book. As seen in the second image.

The case which holds the unreasonable number of pencils I carry.

• I bought the case at a yard sale for 2 dollars.
• A majority of these pens and pencils have been following me since middle school.
• I used to be bullied for the sense of territory I felt over these pencils.
• The red eraser pen is likely multiple decades old.

The pair of long, pink, knitted, fingerless gloves I use to warm myself.

• It is winter now and so I began bringing these gloves with me to school not too long ago.
• I usually wear these in the mornings when I drive to school. My car never warms up fast enough to make the drive comfortable for me. The gloves help mitigate that.
• They are perfectly sized and I love wearing them for comfort. They fit perfectly underneath my sleeves. No exposed wrists here.
• I bought them at a school fundraiser in the 10th grade. Some fellow student made them.

A piece of equipment I carry around so I don't have to talk to other people.

• My mother got this for me in the 9th grade thinking I would use it frequently.
• Batteries exploded inside them within a week.
• This calculator sat covered in battery fuzz for two (2) years.
• I fixed it this year because, like said before, I didn't want to talk to other people when I needed to borrow calculators off of them.

From top-left to bottom-right: school computer charger, vanilla chapstick, headache meds, MP3 player charger.

• My laptop charger is frequently taken and borrowed by other people.
• I bring the chapstick so I don't accidentally cause my lips to bleed when picking at them.
• I am prone to migranes and have been since I was little. I bring these so I don't end up throwing up all over myself in pain.
• This charger did not come with my MP3 player. The one that came with the player quickly broke after a few uses, it was a cheap item. I stole (took) this one out of a box of my mother's old work items.
• All of these items are contained within the small front pocket on my backpack.

These are items I hold in my pockets. I apologize how half-hazardly this image was taken. It took me awhile to take all of these photos and this was the last one I did. I was bored of it at this point. From top-left to bottom-right: MP3 player, pocket notebook, multi-colored pen, Airis VC004 camera, USB drive, wallet, car-keys, phone.

• I carry the MP3 player because I am infuriated at the methods of accessing and listening to music in the current times. It was a gift given to me by my brother on my birthday. I currently have 1501 songs on it, about 22.9GB in total.
• I carry the pocket notebook so I always have a method to write down thoughts and my to-do list. It's been carried on me since last school year. I struggle to keep track of my tasks and such and this booklet really helps me overcome my forgetfulness. Recently I keep forgetting to bring the book itself.
• I use this multi-colored pen to write in this booklet, each color usually designates a different type of task I need to get done. I allow strangers to borrow this pen if needed.
• I bring this camera with me so I can take photos of the things I see on a whim. It's nice.
• The USB stick holds any files I may need to transfer from laptop to laptop. I typically write my daily entries on it during school.
• My wallet doesn't have many interesting traits beyond the fact that it is not built to hold USD. It is the perfect size to hold Euros. I am forced to fold and crumple my bills so I can keep them in there.
• I can drive. I have a car. My keys are windsock themed. I bought the keychain off of Etsy. Check out the dealer they are lovely.
• My phone is something I am made to reluctantly carry. I drew the design on the back of it. It was done with watercolor pencils and an old shopping bag.
