Antiwallet Freedom Venture by Saint
March 11th, 2007 5:22 PM
I decided to go for an extremely protective design, and why not use something from the kings of protection, a turtle. Luckily i happened to have a full turtle shell laying around, and so, with the help of a pack of orbits gum, and copious amounts of sticky tack, i created a wallet. Though it is only portable when i am wearing baggy cargo pants, it fits my grip nicely.
Day One, Friday: People were fairly interested in the shell, i made several amusing excuses, as well as told the truth. They tended to accept the excuses more regularly than the truth. Most people have apparently never seen a turtle shell wallet. My biggest worry during this whole experience is that the shell will get damaged, it is an old shell of a box turtle that my grandpa gave to me, so it means something too me, though i wouldn't die, because i still would have the pieces. I did find that when you have a wallet made of a stong calcium material, you can hit your friends with it when they bug you too much.
Day Two, Saturday: I have realized that choosing an item which most people find as little value, makes it less vulnerable to theft. Therefore, my wallet is a turtle shell, who's gonna seriously steal a turtle shell. I also am becoming a little irritated at the inconvenience of getting things out of my wallet, it requires that i practically take the carefully placed orbits pack out, and then try and replace it every time.
Day Three, Sunday: Well i am so glad that it was my last day today. Though it was fun to have a replacement, and participate in this task. it was way too tedious, and annoying to have such a bulky, unconventional wallet. Plus i wont need to worry about it getting broken, or damaged anymore. I took it to Uwajimaya today, it was almost normal there, i think because most things there are already so abnormal. This has been a very interesting experience, walking around in an Asian market, with a strange bulge on the left side of my pants, i don't think i shall do it again soon.
oh and for all those wondering, NO I DIDN'T KILL THE TURTLE!!! IT DIED ON IT'S OWN!!!
