My Accessories
When I was in grade eleven I had a lot of good innovations. For one, I had a "pen on a leash," basically a pen attached to a small chain like the one you'd find guarding bank pens. It was attached to my watchstrap so it was always a flick away from being in my hand. Very very convenient.

Also, I wore two watches. The one on my left hand was a daytimer watch which kept phone numbers and supported programmable scheduling messages. On my other wrist was a hybrid digital watch/universal remote control. If I saw a TV, all I needed to do was check the brand and input a two-digit code and I could control it. My biology classroom had a TV in the corner that was always plugged in, and I convinced everyone it was haunted.

Another friend copied me and bought a remote control watch and we terrorised the Sony Store in the mall, convinced Sony was evil in our high school thinking. The best time was when we were in the mall after hours coming out of a movie. I turned on all the TVs in the store and raised the volume to maximum. They started to catch on that it was us responsible somehow, and even almost caught my friend once.

A few years later, I finally decided that wearing no watches was better.
