Writer's Block: Last Twenty Bucks

List three things you'd buy with your last $20. One practical, one frivolous and one of your choosing. View other answers

(Hmm, the wording is a little ambiguous. Let's say I've got nothing left but $20 and the clothes on my back and nobody to lend me money, and I'm going on one last shopping expedition before I find a street grate to sleep on.)

1, Practical: A trenchcoat, missing a button. Approximately $7 at the thrift store.
2, Frivolous: A Walkman or equivalent, plus batteries and a tape. Approximately $8 at the thrift store.
3, Practical: Baby Wipes or the equivalent in a plastic box. Approximately $5 worth at the grocery store.

Food, you can get.

Prompt: Defended Identities

For anyone who feels like answering, here or in their own journals:

Consider the following fill-in-the-blank: "If someone said I wasn't _______________, I would object."

(Clarification: Imagine someone is describing you - either explicitly (e.g. "Robin isn't a guy!") or implicitly (e.g. "She likes LJ") - and they describe you inaccurately (see either of previous examples). The question is not whether you correct them - an interesting question of etiquette - whether you dislike being described thus.)
