adja999's request:

1.What's on your door?
A calendar. Got a picture of a streetcar or a bus. I think it's New Zealand. Oh, and apparently it's been there since September of last year, so...yeah.

2.What's under your bed?
Ugh, really wish I could unsee this: Dropped pencils, an empty ginger ale bottle...and a huge friggin' hairball that my cat, Zoe, horked up who knows how long ago. I don't have carpeting in my room (which is nice, come summers) so I should be able to chip that off the cement with a hammer or something.

Oh, and an extension cord, because only two of the outlets in my room actually work, and they're never where I need them.

3.What's interesting in your bedside table?
Several loose issues of various Vertigo titles, and a copy of Alan Moore's On Writing Comics (from when I was going to, you know, actually read all of it). Some candles in case of a black out (or for summer when it just gets too hot to have the lamp on). A stuffed rabbit I've had since I was a kid. His name is Wilbur. That would be less creepy if that wasn't the name of an actual rabbit I once had that looked exactly like it. Who was also my first childhood memory of "Oh, hey, things die, don't they?"

In the drawer there is a pen for the composition book I keep with me at all times for story ideas (or, as my roommate Tony calls it, "the Porn Book"). A small pen knife, a six-sided die, a joker from a deck of cards, a Rush mix tape (yes, a cassette tape, when was the last time you even saw one?), couple of plastic spiders...and a ballpoint pen sketch of Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z.

4.Do you have something(s) under your pillow?
Another pillow. Yeah, that one's not interesting.

5.Do you have something(s) interesting on your walls?
A paper-mache mask I made back in high school, a Ouija board, a battered Nat-Geo map of the British Isles, an amateurish needle-point of a knight on horseback (I got board and the floss was handy...) and a copy of Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer.

♥ Frazetta. ♥ ^^

6.Do you have a tv/computer in your room?
Not currently. I moved my TV a few days ago to see if my grandmother could use it for cable. She can't. I might put it back in. I might not. I don't have antenna/TV in there, so I can't use it for anything. Well, there's an old VCR in there. But it doesn't have a remote, and I hate just sitting and watching TV when I could also be working on something, and I work on things better when there's no sound so...I never really used it.

I do have a small "desk" (or, you know, two short filing cabinets with a board on them that I can set shit on) and a tray for when I take my laptop in the room. The desk is currently covered in laundry (I should probably dig my computer scanner out of there... *sigh*) and the tray is currently empty because my lappie is usually in the dining room or living room.

7.Do you have shelves? What's on them?
Yep. One is overburdened with books and comics, and an asston of binders full of past story ideas I'm probably never going to work with (a lot of it is from high school, anyway, but still), a plastic knight's helmet from a birthday ages ago.

The other is just a small screw-in shelf that has a bunch of random junk on it. Batman Pez dispenser, plastic figures of anime characters from some cheap fast food kid's meal, a glass swan candle holder (while not as significant as spiders, swans are kind of special to me), a digital camera I never use because my mom's is better, and the ticket stub from when my sister and I went and saw Rammstein in Oakland last May.
