For years, I have worn buttons. The time has come to begin to archive what buttons they are, and when they appeared. So, here we go, in my best HTML-based renditions...

Current Buttons

These are the buttons that I'm currently wearing, starting from my upper-left and going down and around to my upper-right.

WHAT PART OF
NO
DON'T YOU
UNDERSTAND?
Vered gave me this button, and I put it on immediately. I think it's going to suit me well. (2004/02/01-)
TWIT!
Don't ask me; I just think it's amusing. (2004/04/04-)
Where's
My
 26 ¢
There's also a picture of a dollar bill cut into two pieces at the 3/4ths mark; it's all about taxes. It's rather silly, but I don't mind occasionally flying the Libertarian colors, especially around tax time. (The Green/Purple thing is really more amusing...) (2004/04/04-)
My seventh watch - silver, glow-in-the-dark hands, crappy compass This is essentially the same as the sixth watch; I got it because that one was cracking, and this was on sale. (2003/11/26-)
VERTIGO
The fifth of these I've worn. Still refers to Vertigo Comics. (2003/08/04-)
My keys and keychain, with some combination of a pocketknife, flathead screwdriver, and/or LED flashlight. (1995/08/??-)
Well
behaved
women
rarely make
history.
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
I got this from Jenni at Caitte's wedding. My female friends are extremely jealous. A good button... (2003/12/04-)
"I want you to hit me
as hard as you can."
- Tyler Durden
I think I bought this for myself at Hot Topic a few months ago. Or maybe somebody bought it for me. Oh well. I like Fight Club. (2004/04/04-)
LEAVE
ME ALONE
I'M HAVING
A CRISIS
I again don't know where this came from, but it seems appropriate for this time of year. (2004/03/16-)

Past Buttons

This is only a listing of a few. I hope to increase these numbers over time. (Note that the inconsistent formatting will probably be taken care of in the future.)

Dated

These are the ones that I know the dates that I wore them. I only started keeping track in May 2002, however.

Undated

At this point, these are some of my favorite buttons from the era before I started keeping track of the dates. I'm sure this will grow over time, though.

Lanyards

These are the lanyards I've worn through the years.

Other Information

The Button Boards

I've got three towels full of buttons that I've previously worn. I plan to list them all off some day, probably with pictures. But not yet.

History

Updates

2003/08/04 - the complete list of lanyards is complete. I'm also wearing a new one, having taken the previous one off a month ago.

2003/02/09 - I'm now trying to make HTML/ASCII representations of all of the buttons I wear. I may go back and do some more some day. I like the new layout, though...

2003/01/06 - I'm currently trying to change a button every work day, mostly on my right side. I've gotta get through a *lot* of buttons. 'Twas a New Year's Resolution...

2002/08/24 - I've taken pictures of the buttons, and they're on here. Not much to say about 'em. I hope to take more later, when I have time (*laugh*).

2002/04/21 - Well, it's been more than a year since I've touched this page, and it's about time to list some stuff off. For starters, I'm currently wearing a lanyard I got from an America West Airlines employee back in July 2001, coming back from the San Diego ComiCon. It was a good trip, and it's holding up quite well. I have been wearing it essentially non-stop since that time, even though I've gone through my share of grief in the last few months that would normally cause me to take it off. This time, though, I didn't feel strong enough to do without the lanyard for any length of time; instead, I just covered it up for about a month, from 2002/01/05 - 2002/02/11. But it came back, and it was in many ways never gone. Anyway, I also have several spare lanyards now, and I plan to start working on this page for real sometime soon. Hopefully.

2001/01/03 - My cat, Sherlock, died today. To keep myself from going mad with grief, I'm not currently wearing my lanyard; it's doing the suffering for me. The lanyard may return someday, but not today.

2000/04/07 - Another note: I got a new lanyard on Friday (April 7th). It's pinkish, and therefore kindof ugly, but it's otherwise the same as the first one I got so many years ago. Otherwise, it has the same buttons as the last lanyard except that the ones on the back of the neck are gone. Whee.

2000/04/06 - Note: my lanyard broke last week, on the 30th of March. I'm still ticked off about it, but I'm wearing an old one now. The buttons have changed accordingly - now all I've got is WWID, Vertigo, the watch, the Valerie keychain, PROP, Save Gaming!, The Internet is Full, and a new Dave Wood for 104th District State Rep button (that one went on on the 3rd of April). On the back of the neck are the Peace Corps and a Superman buttons. This will change again soon.
