In accordance with [livejournal.com profile] slodwick’s decree:

This time last year I was answering questions about myself. However. I am notoriously cagey and tend to be rather private so, we’re not going to do that again this year. Instead, if you want, I want you to tell me more about yourselves. Anything you want to tell me. It can be about your favorite colour or your favorite singer or your favorite kind of toothpaste. Tell me about your favorite book or your favorite kind of sneaker. Who was the first person you kissed? What’s your favorite city? If you were Supreme Dictator/Il Duce, who would you strand on a desert island? Do you think you’re kinky or is it vanilla all the way? What’s your favorite quote? What's your favorite comic? Who do you want to play poker with after you die? What the hell are we all doing here? Are you into DIY?

Tell me something. Enlighten me.

I feel like playing, but I'm not coming up with terribly fascinating things to tell you at the moment, so instead, I'll tell you what's on the mantel over the fireplace in my bedroom:

-a picture of Chinese paper dolls with a red-painted frame my mom gave me when I was two.
-Two huge pink ceramic candlesticks that are so hideous I love them.
-A King James Bible, a copy of the Talmud, the Viking Portable Carl Jung, Wicked by Gregory Maguire, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt, and 9 other books.
-a clock sitting on top of one of the stacks of books.
-a framed picture of me and my best friends from college on graduation day.
-a silver box from Mexico that was a Christmas present
-a weird salmon-colored vase/jug thing that I didn't know where else to put.
-a Christmas ornament I forgot to put away.
-a 9" tall laughing buddha and dragon sculpture. Rub Buddha's belly for good luck.
-my Zippo.
-an empty beer bottle.

ha! no, the mantel is my favorite part of my room. Maybe that's why. cluttered, disorganized, eclectic, yes that all fits.

Also, the Buddha rocks. I was all WTF? when my friend gave it to me, but it totally grew on me. Ebay, baby, you can find anything.
