So I was cleaning my office [AT WORK], and noticed I have a lot of weird things in weird places. So, as of this moment (so if I move something it won't change your answers), you get to guess what I have in a few different places. Ever play Mastermind? It works kinda like that, but there's no pool of known items. You will submit four guess, one for each location. For each guess I will tell you how many you have right and how mnay are in the right location. If you have an item right AND in the right location, you get an X. If you have an item right but in the wrong location, you get an O. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ORDER I GIVE YOU THE X's AND O's IS NOT INDICITIVE OF WHICH GUESS I'M TALKING ABOUT!
Clear as mud? Feel free to ask questions if it's not, I know I'm not at my best before... well, ever, really, but certainly before noon!
So here are your locations:
Top desk drawer (not a pencil drawer, but the top of a three-drawer until that is behind me)
Bottom lateral fle drawer (hint, no, there are no files in it)
Bookcase (any shelf - yes, there are books on it but they don't get you credit unless you guess specific books)
Desktop (anywhere on it)
Please note that, yes, I have a computer on my desk - everyone knows that. That will get you a point. In order to get maximum points, you need to guess more bizarre and unusual items. You have as many guesses as you need to get one right in every location - the number of guesses won't effect your score nearly as much as boring items will! Bonus points are awarded for getting it quickly, and getting very specific (say, not only do you guess I have a ball of yarn, but it's wool and green, you know?)

I'm looking around my own drawers and desktop for ideas... I have a couple of fossils (found by moi) around, a packet of parmesan, an electronic fortune cookie, a candy dish filled with mini-toys and candy, and boxes of tea in every conceivable nook and cranny. Extras of shoes, nylons, perfume samples, earrings, etc. All kinds of 'just in case I might need it' stuff.

Also, if you're remembering that one from the whole romance novel plagiarism scandal, you get extra points.

LOL yes. I'll give you one better -- I went and looked it up. Do you know it's at least 100 entries back?
no subject
...and I thought I'd been really light on posting!

Lol. You've not been heavy on it at all. It was just a little while ago is all. But I persevered!

File drawer: Some kind of certificate. Sheets of paper with stories on them (that you've written or printed out.)
Bookcase: A vase. A pottery one. Without flowers, or with fake ones: mainly it just looks nice. Also, lots of romance novels. :D
Desktop: one of those little fuzzy novelty pom-pom dudes with the sticky feet. Red or green. Or yellow. Advertising something.
xD If I got any of them right, I will eat my hat. Except maybe the romance novels one.
Edit: And in the file drawer, blown-up-to-A4 glossy photos of a blonde, smiling woman. Not to mention a large yellow desklamp and a set of keys with a plastic rainbow keyring on the desk.
Also, in my crystal ball, I see a book on your bookshelf... I cannot quite make out the title, but it has a shirtless Indian dude on the front, and something inside from a wildlife article, possibly about ferrets, or some kind of furry water-dwelling creature...

Oh, wait, you do get an O. And... half of an X. (Comprehension: I has it). You were a bit too descriptive on one and it threw it off.
(why would I have romance novels at work?! :P)
no subject
I got the colour of the fuzzy thing wrong, didn't I? It's blue, isn't it? ...Or should I quit while I'm behind and say "a fuzzy thing that is a colour"?
Just keys. Keyring optional. Desklamp of a colour. Small. Medium. Small-to-large. With a bulb in it. Paper in the file drawers, with writing on them on the subject of something. And/or with pictures on. Of brunettes. And redheads. And aliens. A vase made out of a material containing a thing, or possibly things, or possibly nothing.

A wizard did it. >_>
