    The ABCs of Handwriting Analysis has lead me to believe that the note was written by someone who is slightly vain, harbors feelings of inferiority, someone very educated with caustic humor, who is intuitive, knows how to negotiate around business dealings/lying, who is inhibited, auto-erotic, fantasizes about sexual debauchery, who may throw temper tantrums, and is weak or feminine. And punctual.

    I'm thinking a graduate student named Cissy!

    [edit- I did some google searching, and there is a professor Marlon Blackwell who designed a golfhouse named Blessings, which is right around town. Don't know what was delivered or who 'Cis' is, but you know~]

    If I see something worthwhile to pick up, and no one is around; then I'll pick it up. I wouldn't go out of my way to pick up every 1p and 2p I find though.

    I think the most I've come across was a £20, a tennis ball [which my dog found for a free toy] and a Roman coin.

    Once I found a small gnome on the ground, I picked him up and we went sight seeing together. After that we became very close. One day I lost him, and couldn't find him anywhere. For the next few years I lived every day a broken shell of the person I was, just trying to get through each minute hoping he'll come home again. Now any reminder that he even existed sends me into a state of catatonic depression.

    Thank you for making this thread rubah.

    I don't pick up anything but money that's $1 or higher.

    EDIT: But my dog will pick up anything we let her. xD

    The only thing I ever see on the floor is rubbish, chewing gum and pennies

    Only if it is money.

    I pick up pennies and nickels, find a crowd of people, and throw them in.

    I picked up a paperclip today and ended up using it to clip some application papers together, since I don't usually carry paperclips

    You're very welcome alive-man. I hope you find your gnome.

    There's also the possibility of some smartassed kids being nearby, watching strangers try to pick up the dollar coin they superglued to the ground.

    No, not really. Unless it catches my attention.

    Unless it's money-related, or maybe even a cool pen/pencil, not really.

    Why in Hell would I want to pick up something off of my own volcanic floor? No one litters here. I'm a clean freak.

    I picked up money. And once I found a game magazine including DVD... and picked it up too.

    You must have been such a freak.
