My crap I carry aroud
I have to mountain bike to work, so, I carry a backpack with my work garb and uncool waterproofs (which makes me inpervious to rain attack, but, you cook to death in the summer) and probably too many copies of music mags or FHM which can be quite heavy. Also, within the bag is my wallet, x2 spare batteries for a Nokia 6230 and house keys. Oh, and deodorant and brush too.

Come to think of it, carry around too many keys. But the reasoning is that I re-assuringly know its presence because of its weight and mass of keys. As opposed to carrying one tiny key I will lose easily.

I am also World famous for overpacking when going anywhere. Notably, my woman's gaff over the weekend. I probably carry my own weight in needless crap, excessive changes of clothes etc.

But, over the weekend, it's imperative of me to have my 40gb Creative Labs Zen Extra mp3 player, keys, Nokia 6230 phone and at least one spare battery for the phone. And the house keys. My mp3 player seems to act as an invisibility cloak as you can drown out the din of the public masses or annoying chavs. The mp3 player runs out of battery and chav hassle increases expotentially. I do find that playing death and black metal can end up with you developing an "agressive" manner when walking, you cut people up and are more inclined to develop "mosh pit" tactics to get around, especially in bus queues etc.

And, I feel akin to being butt naked If I don't have my mobile, pile of keys, and wallet on my person.

And I always perenially think I have forgot something upon exiting the house too, no matter what...

(does any metaller/goth out there witnessed the same "music player invisibility cloak" occur?)
