I’ve been wanting to create a topic like this pretty much forever, lol. Tell about what you have on your computer desk/workstation.
Um… let’s see. A “harvest of hope” magazine, a ziploc bag with something like $20 in it (change and bills and stuff), a notebook I used to record certain school-related things in, a big BLENDER 2.3 GUIDE book. This is the desk. My PC itself is mounted on a wooden shelf up above the desk where I sit.
On the shelf, which is up above but still counts as work station space, there is some music CD’s that aren’t mine, the box to the PC version of HALO, the box to a second-hand “World of Warcraft” game I can’t use (something to do with registration… stupid proprietary MMORPG), the box to my video card, a 256 MB USB stick, a headset, box to my mouse, and “More Short Stories by Mark Twain” on CD.
on my desk there is a cpmuter (obviously), a case of Black and White 2, loads of crappy music CD’s (my sister owns them), a HP deskjet 5150, a tub of PVA glue, a lamp, a paint brush, a hairband, hair straightners(sp?), a roll of wool, microsoft flight simulator 2004, floppy disks, quake 3 arena, hair brush, university booklets, some sort of diary, and a piece of paper with details of my grapic card settings for Black and White 2… oh and a hairclip(s)
thats pretty much it, and as you can guess, this is my sisters room, she argued to the death with me over who gets the computer in whos room, and she won :<
