...this is what would have been found in my backpack:
My computer
Lots of school related papers.
Two editions of Beowulf
An Index of Theme and Image to the Homilies of the Anglo-Saxon Church
Richard Rolle's Emendatio vitae
Runes and Magic: Magical Formulaic Elements in the Older Runic Tradition
Magic, Mystery, and Science: The Occult in Western Tradition
The Western Esoteric Tradition: A Historical Introduction
Two ginormous volumes of History of Magic and Experimental Science
and a Latin dictionary
The coroner would have declared me both dead and very odd.

gosh, how do you carry all that stuff around??
i always think about what people will piece together as my last few moments. and wonder if they'll be accurate at all. i strongly dislike being misrepresented. you know how reader's digest used to do those drama in real life stories, and they'd dramatize, for the sake of a good story, what they guessed the person might've be doing before his car plunged headlong into the icy waters "he was gently humming: to everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season turn, turn, turn. and thinking about seeing his baby when she gets home from Jersey City..."
i wrote my will last week. have you done yours?
you don't have to wait until they find you dead with a sack full of runes for someone to regard you as "very odd". we do that prehumously.

MKR: I recently converted from the Cult of the Messenger Bag to the One True Faith of Large Back Packs.
Mystery Student: Lts? Logic Temecula Site? Anyways, I have indeed wondered about a will, but I do not think anything I have is of sufficient worth to even bother about it. I want all my belongings interred with me Sutton Hoo style.
