Desk Job

So I haven't owned a desk since I got up here, thus a cardboard box has had to serve this purpose. I just emptied it out. Holy mother. An abbreviated inventory:
1 Huge bottle white elmers glue (unused)
1 Bottle rubber cement (actually used)
3 Boxes of markers (one box is sparkly!)
8 Sarah Spooner pencils (last given as a gift from Aunt Molly in 1998)
1 30-60-90 Triangle
1 45-45-90 Triangle
6 Wine corks
1 Tin of shoe polish
1 TI-82 calculator (last used: 1999)
2 Spare Lisa's Liquor Barn club cards
9 Sharpies (different colors I swear)
1 "Big Ralph Wears Buttons" button
1 GE mini recorder, circa 1987
28 Floppy disks (contents only partially known)
2 Zip Disks (are these still in use?)
5 Highlighters
4 Books of matches from Mosbys (closed in early 2004, shut up, Scott)
1 Screwdriver, made in 8th grade shop class (and the tool used to sear and scar Will Lukens's leg)
1 Compass (the kind that draws the circles)
1 Compass (the kind that draws you north)
1 Lightstick, unused
4 Movie ticket stubs (Last seen: "Melinda and Melinda")
11 AA Batteries of questionable capacity
1 Roll of masking tape of such age that it doesn't come off the roll anymore
2 USB cables, unsused
1 Phone charger, ability to charge in question
2 Photo cropping pencils ('grease pencils')
1 Decorated crab hammer (thank you Mike Koch)
3 Bic lighters
1 Glowing Harry Potter pen

And there is a whole lot more, including about two dozen spare buttons, an architects scale, an industrial strength hole punch and at least 10 pads of post-its, but I've got to go finish packing.

Is the Lisa's Liquor Barn club card applicable to the DC Metro Area? If so, can I have?

Also, feel free to throw that
M & M ticket stub away because, frankly, that film was a piece of garbage.

Grease pencils, eh? Are you still secretly pumping out yearbooks?

Dear Sarah,

We are very sorry to hear that you will be leaving the area. Do keep in touch, you have been our favorite (and most frequent) patron the past 7 months.

You will be greatly missed.

Dear Liz:
Yes I am pumping out yearbooks still, Jostens publishing and I are best buds forever. By the way, you were voted "Most likely to not be in it" by everyone else.
Oh and "Best 80s hair" went to Court. Nate and Suz were voted best couple though.

PS I just took my orange grease pencil and totally drew on your face in all my photos. If it breaks out, that's why. Sucka.
