If I HAD to chose one thing it would certainly be a knife. I don't think I'm paranoid, but I just hate not having something when I need it. Anyone else feel this way? One knife not enough???

My first post to the forum, hello everyone!

I am in Chicago, pretty urban, so here goes:

Wallet (full of stuff, plastic and paper, not necessarily money <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)
Palm VIIx
Pen, a cheap one I adore
Yellow highlighter
Comb, very colorful one, btw
Sunglasses
Penguin caffeinated mints
Portable kleenex bag
Spyderco Q spyder knife (my pride and joy)
Leatherman micra, just in case in need scissors
Wenger knife, more fun tools
Buck knife (sometimes), yet another one, I am passionate about carrying my knives
Book, any of my current readings
Notebook, for my thoughts
Compact, pressed powder, I am a girl, after all
Blistex lipbalm, my only make-up
Travel toothbrush
Game boy (sometimes), when I know it will be a long train or car ride
Map
Compass, Victorinox, to find myself
Portable anorak, in case it rains
Crushable hat, in case it shines
Eyedrops
Flashlight, to explore darker places
Floppies, just in case
Foldable walking stick
Binoculars
Camera
Keys

That about makes it. Sometimes it varies but most of the time I do carry all that. If I am not carrying my daily backpack, but rather a purse, I always take my Spyderco with me. We two are one. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
