My totems for inception

Sadly, most of the items I carry with me at all times have been tampered with by my good for nothing so called friends, so I can't use them as my totems in case I need to perform inception on a billionaire's heir. However, they are still important to me, as they remind me of several different things in my life.

My lanyard is probably the only "totem" I possess, as no one has messed with it. I frequently change the keys and stuff on it. However, it is a gift from my brother, so I keep it as a reminder I'm not an only child. I also have a little figurine from a tiny Viet friend of mine, so I have a voodoo version of him in my pocket. Next, I have my keys, which go to my trunk of dark secrets and my house. I also have a Kroger card, which is weird. I never go to Kroger. Same with the library card.

I have my wallet, which contains my ID stuff and a few photos and some cash. Nothing too special.

My iPhone would be my beacon to society, since it can do so many things for me that I'm not capable of doing.

I also carry a pen around at all times, since you can't tell when someone might try to mug you and you don't have a reliable weapon. A nice extra fine tip pen should poke a few eyes.

Now, the one item that identifies me is my allergy bracelet that I've had longer than anything else. It identifies who I am, and tells them I have problems in case it's not known. I get ticked off when people try to take it off since it's almost impossible to put back on.

These are my Justin totems. Hopefully when the time comes I'll be able to tell whether that hot chick talking to me is actually real when I take out my keys and sense the weight.
