Contents of icicle's wallet:

* one condom that I've never needed, but wouldn't be caught without

* receipts * ticket stubs for American Beauty and Anthony's Airporter

* $3.03 cash

* phone, bank, and credit cards

* driver's license (another item that is useless to me now)

* student ID

* Social Security card

* Blood donor card

* Library card
