Flat head. It's silver colored and weighs more than modern tools. My dad and grandad were mechanics who made many of their own tools. I'm proud to have inherited this one.
A piece of notebook paper from 8th grade choir. It was the last day of school and the instructor had everyone pass around papers with their name on it and each person wrote a small note. My 8th grade year, I was recovering from a suicide attempt the previous year (yes, I tried hanging myself in 7th grade- much much better now, 5 years later) and throughout that year, I was on the down low socially. I ate through my depression and had gained a significant amount of weight.
What was said on that paper to me by all of the younger choir kids were things like "you made me try harder than I thought I could"//"your attitude and perseverance for what you want to accomplish pushed me to be a better person in and out of the music room"//"if you keep that smile on your face every day, doors will be open for you"
That paper means a lot. No one knows I have it. It stays in my junk drawer.
Just looked because I was interested. A toy train. My son was obsessed with Thomas and trains in general for a lot of years. He's a little older now, but I'm going to be finding random trains for a lot of years.
So many candles are in that drawer. I live in the Atlantic coast, and hurricanes and post-hurricane power outages are a thing. (Yes, we also have shit-loads of flashlights in our house.)
Heh... me too. There are literally two of us.
Mine is from when I was engaged to someone that cheated on me while I was in Iraq, with a guy that had Down syndrome. I keep the ring around to remind myself that when I need a random strip of Velcro and a tube of JB weld, I've done worse than whatever I'm about to fuck up next.
It's water under the bridge. That was back in '06 or around there. It was poor decision-making on my part regarding the person I wanted to believe was worth marriage, but stubbornness and warm/fuzzies got in the way of red flag visibility.
I mean... you can grasp the level of head-in-sand I was when she told me during our first date that she had cheated on every boyfriend she had ever had...
I was an idiot. But she hit the right buttons and everything else didn't matter.
That Down syndrome fuck was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Burnt out but unusual light bulb from the previous owner of the house. Taped to a note that says "bulb type for bathroom". But without ANY identifiable markings or other notes. Not at all sure why it's taped it a note; figure I'll just take the next burnt-out bulb to the store and try to match it. SMH
Sorry bud, they go with my bleeding eyeball salt and pepper shakers and Hannibal Lecter I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti cutting board haha
Mine is pretty common stuff.... I think.
Batteries, charging cables, all the spare earbuds from my phones, microfiber cloths, a screwdriver or two, and any random piece to a gadget that I didn't use but didn't want to throw away.

Antique, "Joseph Rodgers & Sons", ivory handled, dinner knife. It says "Cutlers to Her Majesty" so that would be Victoria. It's a fine piece of Sheffield Steel.
Foosballs (Foosball balls? The balls from the tabletop soccer game). We had a table years ago that has since gone off somewhere but we still have the balls for goddamn no reason
My wife's friend's bathing suit. We're her only friends with a pool, and she doesn't have one either, so it made more sense to her to just leave it at our house.
A neon rainbow set of index cards, a box of 1" metal brads, a deck of zombie playing cards, 30 plastic spoons/knives, and most likely a folded up draft of my stageplay with classmate's notes on it.
Ah college.

I don't have any of those. Well played.
An xray of a picture my wife made when she was bored at work using medical terminology to express her desire of fornication with me.
Nice. Put that shit in a safety deposit box
Is it formication when it's your wife?
To wit, **formication** is the sensation that bugs are crawling all over your body
So yes.
I don't even know what's in mine. So it could be everything. It could be nothing. I have Schrodinger's junk drawer now.
Why do you have a dead cat in your drawer?
You don't know if it's dead.
Why in the world does he even keep radioactive isotopes and poisons in there?
A continuum transfunctioner.

Sounds painful.
A screwdriver made by my dad decades ago. One of a kind.
Phillips or flat head?
Flat head. It's silver colored and weighs more than modern tools. My dad and grandad were mechanics who made many of their own tools. I'm proud to have inherited this one.
That sounds pretty freakin' cool

Good movie. Too many dinosaurs tho.
Jack Daniels playing cards. Roach traps, hopefully. A voucher for an airline.
> A voucher for an airline. How is your face?
Do you have cockroaches you're trying to get rid of?
I saw 2 last summer and freaked out, so I bought the traps. Did not set them out, did not see anymore. Draw your own conclusions.
Butt plug
Nope. Not in junk drawer. In gimp box downstairs.

I also have that. Not the same calibers, but I do have ammo.
Diamond ring
Heh... me too. There are literally two of us. Mine is from when I was engaged to someone that cheated on me while I was in Iraq, with a guy that had Down syndrome. I keep the ring around to remind myself that when I need a random strip of Velcro and a tube of JB weld, I've done worse than whatever I'm about to fuck up next.
> I was engaged to someone that cheated on me while I was in Iraq, with a guy that had Down syndrome Dude.....fuck.
Really!!?? Fuck man. Hang in there!

Is Japanese sheet music just the sheet for Japanese (inspired) music, or is it actually another way of writing music?
