Inspired by the lists of computers[1,2,3,4,5,6] and
computer-naming[7,6,8,9,10] threads going 'round, I was going to ask the
Phlogosphere, what's in your handbag? And then kvothe beats me to
it[11]. Like computer names, I feel this reveals fascinating things
about people's characters.

First of all, glad you're feeling better than yesterday, kvothe.
Second, wow, you carry a lot of stuff (compared to me).

Here's what's usually in my handbag:

Bifold leather wallet with coin pocket

This is the third wallet I've ever owned. The first one I got rid of
because it made me look like a teenager and I wasn't one anymore; the
second one I stopped using when the Velcro wouldn't keep it shut. My dad
has it now.

Key wallet

As well as keys, it contains a small pocket knife:

Pocket knife

One of the smallest ones, about the same length as a key. It has a
knife blade, scissors, nail file, tweezers, toothpick. I think I use
the nail file more than the knife blade.

Nokia something-or-other telephone

I don't know what model it is. It can send texts.

Carry bag

Yes, I keep a bag in my bag. Good for shopping.

Lip balm

The beeswax stuff.

Paracetamol, antihistamine, menthol lozenges

Not things I need every day, but things it sucks to not have when I do
need them.

And, optionally, my diary[12].

I don't know if that reveals anything fascinating about my character.
After all, I think I'm pretty normal. (Actually, that is a lie. I
don't.)
