I heard a teacher I replaced one time drank like a fish, so it was said, and lo' behold, I found an huge aquarium full of liquor bottles. (Serious on that)

Also, a power drill.

Someones masters degree in science!

A very dead plant.

A few maps of Korea.

Nothing of use really except the books and maps.

My ravishing good looks

My purple bubble perm

My ability to hold vast sums of liquor

My porcelain-polishing skills

Oh, sorry! You mean items inherited from the previous tennant of our accommodation. In that case, nothing. There was no previous occupant.

I've always been here, and always will be.

The guy before me was dirty, so all the cabinets, including where the meager dishes resided, were layered with dirt or dust or something... The drain in the bathroom was clogged, also, so when I moved in there was a pool of water that had been standing there for the past month.

He also left a candle with hearts on it, several lighters, a greasy dirty portable gas-uh range-i, bathroom slippers, and bizarre sticky material that stuck to my feet and tracked all over the apartment.

I inherited a poem written on the wall behind the couch. Much nicer than all the dust bunnies and layers of dirt he left behind.

Not my thing, so I passed them off to a Korean co-worker. (male)

In University, I helped a classmate move. Someone left this home-made little "thinking-man" figure made of wound-up wire. It was really cool, and I kept it. I think I eventually threw it away, but I was impressed, as it was about 6 inches high.

Someone's entire life: tons of clothes, bathroom and kitchen stuff, computer, CD's, DVD's, books, BA degree, bankbooks, mountain bike, TV, VCR, photo albums, diaries, everything. She left and never came back. Long story.

Ha. Good one.

My avatar not withstanding, I am not into the hardcore stuff. I prefer the softer stuff.

With the huge sex industry in this country, it's amazing how hard it is to find decent porn. What is it with this prohibition against showing pubic hair?
