THURSDAY THIRTEEN #2

13 things on my desk right now

1. Computer keyboard
2. Monitor
3. Mug of tea
4. Thumb drive
5. Notebook
6. Photograph of Big Ben
7. Pencil sharpener
8. CD-Rom “How To Sell On E-Bay”
9. Thing for removing staples
10. Flashlight
11. Tape recorder
12. My glasses
13. Love letter from Gwyneth Paltrow begging me to run away with her, touring all the world’s most exotic locations, having all kinds of kinky fun, and she will pay for everything.

Actually, only 12 of the above are true, and one is made up, but you will have to guess which.

You should replace the make up one with this: your hands typing the computer keyboard on your desk right now. :P

I most certainly do not believe this is an accurate list.

Who still uses tape recorders?

;-)

My TT is up.

Too funny. I think #5 must be made up - who needs actual notebooks in this computer age ;-). Give my best to Gwyneth next time you speak to her.

The classic "things on my desk" TT. Very revealing. You have a pencil sharpener and a notebook listed, but no pens or pencils...

;o) Lemme guess... you're lying about the Cd or your glasses, right?

lmao at #13....
Is it green tea in you cup?
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!

I thought there might have been some kind of connection to Pittsburgh, PA, but then I realized "your british" (you have to say that with a Cary Grant accent) and Big Ben is that clock & NOT Roethlisberger w/ the Steelers! What a goof I am!
Welcome to the TT! Yeah, we did the same list, but I lack creativity. My #13 should have been a letter from Hugh Jackman making the same offer! :)
Thanks for stopping by my site!

You expect me to believe there's such a devise specifically for removing staples? Pah! Liar.

Great TT. I couldn't do this topic unless it was changed to the Thursday 313. My office-keeping skills are atrocious!

Great list. I will have mine up shortly. Have a great Thursday!!!

Posted by: Beth | April 12, 2007 at 09:19 AM

This is great. I have a letter from Daniel Craig on my desk...

Flashlights on desks? And here I was certain that your flashlight has a magnet and is on the door of your office fridge!

Posted by: she | April 12, 2007 at 10:20 AM

LOL well hummmm let me guess...the last one.

Nice list Nicolas.

And Clive Owen left a comment on MY blog begging me to meet him in Cancun over the weekend.

I wish everybody would do away with reality TV. I hate it.

Posted by: Donna W. | April 13, 2007 at 07:35 AM

Interesting list to be sure. I have to ask, though: is that iced tea or hot tea? The answer will clearly show whether you are more British or Floridian now.

Posted by: Brian F. | April 13, 2007 at 08:57 AM

Let's see...no staple-remover thingy? :)
