 In a Nutshell

I'm a 23yr old Slytherin female who loves to dream, watch anime, read, drink tea, and sleep. I'm a bit introverted and I can be downright lazy at times. Dragons and kitties make me go 'aww!' but hypocrits, anime haters slow drivers, and spam make me go 'grr!'...more?

The Backpack

*cough* Alright this probably not a section you stumble upon everyday, or then again if you know me or others just a teeny weenie like me, you probably do.

Now my backpack's reputation seems to surpass my own. Throughout elementary, middle school, high school and even now into college my backpack has been a source of amusement and interest to many.

In "The Backpack" one can always find an assortment of goodies that even I forget are there. Not to mention the numerous amounts of key chains, jingle bells, safety pins, patches, and pins that are spread across the bag. Sadly this is not the only backpack I've had, but merely the current one that is still in use. My loyal friend has served me well these past *counts on fingers* four years and so far looks to be the backpack that will last the longest.

As many can tell you my backpack goes everywhere with me, at least when I'm allowed to take it that is. My backpack(s) although being several different ones throughout the years, have become a sort of calling card for me. Everyone knows Joana's backpack. In fact there are times when a friend or acquaintance will see my bag and tell me: "I knew it was you, only one person on campus has a bag like that!" or "I heard you coming, the bag that is." Of course when I do decide to sneak up on people it truly scares them, what with them not being able to figure out how I could move so quietly and all.

My backpack is one of many ways that I like to express myself, I've garnered many funny comments about it over the years and I truly doubt I will ever stop using a backpack anytime in the near future.

And now the very thing everyone has ever wondered, what exactly is in that thing?

Since I've begun taking a lot of once a week only classes I have recruited the help of a shoulder back to lighten the load that my backpack has to carry. I've taken a few key chains off of my backpack, added new key chains, pins and patches to it; not to mention it no longer carries the same paraphernalia anymore. I'll be back with pictures of the assistant backpack as well as new and updated pictures of the backpack as well.
