What's on your bedside table?

[oliveu2cm]

I remember an exercise in my writing class- to list what the character we were writing about would have on their bedside tables. So.....

what's on yours?

I have a lamp, alarm clock, stickie notes, a pen, a highlighter, coaster, small book of quotes, a tiny ceramic jewelry box that holds one of adam's picks, picture of my boyfriend, my journal and six books.

 

[u2er]

At the moment.. a desk calendar, money, chapstick, alarm clock, string ( ) kleenex, pencils, pens, TI89 calculator, some rings, empty picture frame, a bell from Dallas, and lotr: two towers

I have a small lamp with a red lightbulb in it, a glass box with my Bono pick inside it (too funny Olive, we both have our picks by our beds ), a U2 coaster, my discman and a few cds, and some glow in the dark star figure thingies.....my alarm clock is on my husbands' nightstand....
edited to say I forgot the most important item, which is a statuette of Saint Francesco that my mother-in-law brought me from her home in Italy (God she would have killed me if she knew I hadn't remembered Saint Francesco, lol)

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

This is all in my bedside area, which includes the space below my actual table. I have a box of kleenex, a small pile of magazines, 3 books, my journals, a small black wrought iron basket in the shape of a bat (hello, Ozzy) with incense, a lighter and hair ties in it, a bottle of aromatherapy spray that I use when I have a hard time sleeping, my alarm clock, my lamp and my remote control.

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Wow I can't believe how much stuff you guys have! And Olive? You have a boyfriend?? Since when? Pls. write and tell me all about that.

Anyway, I am positively SPARTAN by comparison. On top: Kleenex, clock, lamp.

Inside the drawer are an asthma inhaler, hand cream and eyedrops.

Underneath on a little shelf are 4 stuffed animals I couldn't bear to part with, lined up neatly in a row. (half chewed up hippo from babyhood, lion, rabbit and pig).

The end.

A lamp, clock radio, a bible, a Christmas card, a picture of my Dad, a crystal vase with dried roses from my wedding, Neutrogena body oil, Sephora lotion, a box of Godiva chocolates (2 missing), 2 books (Bush at War and Walk On/Spiritual Journey of U2), a heart shaped glass bowl filled with hair ties, pens and pencils, prayer cards, perfume samples, rubber bands, keys, receipts, junk etc. and 3 small princess statues from Disneyland (Cinderella, Snow White and Belle).

Despite how much junk I have in one small area, its not messy or cluttered and I still have room for a few more things.

 

[oliveu2cm]

[Kristie]

well, at the moment I have a sort of bedside rolley-cart, but it's got a lamp, a necklace, and two books... Two Towers and Ender's Game.

 

[She Is Raging]

I'm boring....


Alarm clock, little flashlight, and a bottle of nail polish at the moment. However, on the floor beside my bed is a literal pile of books I'm working on - and Kleenex

 

[martha]

This may say more about me than I want it to.

Alarm clock, lamp, flashlight, Scargo oil, foot smoother cream, camomile skin cream, 4 books, chakra bookmark, a few used kleenex (sorry), some coins (one penny with a rubber band wrapped around it), 3 condoms, a pencil, a ray gun, a Goofy bike horn, an empty paper box, an ice cream coupon, and an inch-long dildo from an art opening. It's pink.



I guess one could say I'm a perverted slob. Actually, that's pretty accurate. But I'm a literate perverted slob. With bad feet.

 

[Bonochick]

Alarm clock, desk lamp, telephone, answering machine, earrings, breath mints, 3 books, Rubik's cube, hamster aquarium, 2 Barbie dolls, and a teddybear.

My "bedside table" is actually one of those old fashioned fliptop school desks. It used to be my grandpa's, and it was given to me when he died.

i have a huge groovy table aside my bed. there's not one on the other side, poor billy. but he likes sleeping against the wall.

on my table...

top shelf:
LOTS of chick-fil-a cows, including a santa cow
three century teddy bears (one for the 00's, 10's, and 20's)
a white tiger, blue eyes and all

middle shelf:
alarm clark, glasses holder, a cool noisemaker (it can play six scenes: sea birds, summer night, song birds, sea waves - my favourite, babbling brook, and wind chimes), a box of earrings, my husband's deodorant, a box of my perfumes and such.

bottom shelf:
mainly my hubbie's magazines, cd spindle, and cd-roms.

underneath:
whatever gets accidentally shoved under there, like more magazines and cds. and i noticed my lion is stuffed under there

i like lions, since i'm a leo and all.

 

[dsmith2904]

On my bedside table (which is actually on the other side of the room, but whatever) is my alarm clock, a bunch of blue pens, my retainer, two notebooks, a couple of writing folders, scrap paper, a little candle lantern, lotion, a blue glass bottle, a bottle of Advil and my journal.
