Yup, that would be me - a lady who goes gaga over a blue camo messenger bag covered with buttons and nerdly stuff. The Converse weren't bad, either.

Or more space [: Before IRI, I attached two strips of ribbon to the bag to make more room. Post-IRI, I STILL didn't have enough room, so I did some searching in my basement. I did find some chain that I safety pinned to the bag. The chain is just the right size for attaching pins to.

Reason #1 to not get a new bag - I don't want to take all of these pins off. They all have masking tape over the pin clasp in the back to keep them from falling off. Even taking ONE off isn't fun

How much does it weigh/how much would it hurt if you threw it!

I took some of my stuff and put it on my wall (buttons, team 78 AIRStrike rally towel that I found in the parking lot at BC10, pins, lanyards*217's is my real keychain, rubber bracelets, Battlecry Alliance#8 paper, and name tags from FLL and the NH High Tech counsel a where I represented my team along with a few other students).

Looks cool!

It feels like it weighs a lot, but it doesn't weigh enough to register as a weight on the electronic scale that I have at home. I'd estimate a pound or two, but that's a very bad and rough estimation. The bag itself probably weighs more than the contents of it (which can get pretty heavy - at competitions, that's wallet, duct tape, zip ties, energy drinks, keys, and my camera)

And it depends on how hard you throw it
