What is on your bedside table?

thedivahrrrself · 11-28-2012, 04:25 PM

In/on my nightstand, are the following items:
A lamp
a Kleenex box
a coaster
a copy of Bureaucracy and Democracy, which helps me sleep
usually a glass of water and whatever earrings I've been wearing that day
the only item I've ever owned made of real fur

a headset for sleeping with the phone on

some Burt's Bees for my lips
and a loaded .38 which I hope I'll never have to use.

I don't have a bedside table I have a bookcase head board. Items include but are not limited to....My Bible, Qtips, kleenex, remote controls, water bottle, fan, lamp, dust, a pistol and my hat

Oh yeah and I forgot to add ... next to the Ikea lamp with the paper shade on my night table there's my Glock 19, my LadySmith Revolver (it's corny but I like corny), my Baretta 92F, my pretty little Ruger, my 38 Special (that was actually my first), my Taurus Small Frame Revolver, my sweet little S&W M37, my Kahr K9, my heavily customized Kahr E9 (which is starting to bore me), my Taurus PT111 (I just keep it for nostalgic reasons), my EG Makarov, and my good old Glock 27.

Okay just kidding. I don't have a gun, though I grew up visiting my grandparents' farms and ranches where everyone had rifles, because they needed them for taking care of wild things that might menace the chickens or calves. And then my parents had guns, and I think my sister does, but I'm not sure. Oh and I had a lover who had a rifle, and she kept it on the floor by the mattress in a cabin we slept in sometimes upstate.

I think I'm processing how it feels to learn so many people here on the Planet say they have guns.

So I tried saying it too to see how it felt, and kind of rolled the gun talk around in my mouth and played with it, which is of course a silly thing to do. I'll never get a gun, but I do like the vocabulary of small arms.

My first thought was....DUCK! You had me going. Were you Cagney or Lacey?

I have a lamp that I got at the transfer station, a small pretty box of tissues, a clock radio that has seen better days, and a book I have read about a gazillion times, so relaxing at the end of the day!
