I now officially have bag envy. I love a good bag with tons of pockets and zippers (essential, or I lose everything.)
And, you're being harassed by a girl who regularly uses a backpack as her carryall (because dainty little purse just don't cut it.)
Some guy asked me once why I carry a backpack to work and I was trying to explain, I hate being bored, and I don't have a smart phone, so when I'm waiting for appointments or whatever, I always carry my "Activity Kit" (supplies for reading, writing letters, making bracelets, etc.) I've carried around this kind of kit since I was a kid.
The guy just looked at me like I was crazy (don't worry, I am!) and said, "So... when you're sitting there waiting for the dentist, do you pull out a gameboard and shout, 'Hey everyone, let's play Monopoly!'"
I don't... but I just might.
And I'm pretty sure that sometimes the wait is long enough to get through TWO games.

If you are (wo)manly enough to handle the pseudo-military looks, check out Maxpedition's stuff. It's heavy duty and is perfect for those of us who have undiagnosed OCD... There are pockets and loops all over to store stuff.
The Lunada backpack stays in my car, generally, along with another backpack full of first-aid supplies, and a tool bag full of audio gear.
This is on my belt, whenever I leave the house...it holds my flashlight, Leatherman, and Purell, along with some other odds-n-ends.

Ah, but no zippers! 
Alas, I would lose everything.
Most especially, my marbles.
Yup. I'm just sitting back seeing what you're going to say about that one, Smarty Pants.

~sidesteps the obvious trap with the moves of a ninja master~
But, it's got velcro and buckles. Unless you're carrying sand, and doing cartwheels wherever you go, nothing falls out.
You just don't know, Nuke. I haven't answered this thread before because on a typical day I carry:
* lip balm
* dental floss, paste, brush (You just never know!)
* emery board and clippers
* comb & extra hair bands (Sometimes even a male co-worker needs one.)
* magazine, book, letter-writing materials, pens in at least 4 colors (People always ask for extra pens, too, so I carry about 6 at at time.)
* hand sanitizer/lotion
* Band-aids.
* box cutter and holder
* eye drops
* 2 water bottles
Need I go on? Zippers. I demand zippers.
I learned years ago from trying to buy bags with everything from toggles to drawstrings to magnetic clips and lost tons of stuff along the way.

The belt pouch I listed (without zippers) is only palm sized. It won't fit all of your stuff. You'd need a belt pouch the size of a Buick...then your pants would fall down... The Lunada mini-backpack I listed would hold all that and then some. It'd take me a month to list everything I have crammed in it... In fact, I have so much that I added a small pouch (called 'Anemone') and an insulated quart-sized water bottle carrier to the outside of the Lunada. And yes, it all has zippers.
FYI, if you don't have zippers, Ziplock bags are your friend.
1. You're so attached to your bags that you name them?
2. Already gotcha covered. Everything is organized into 2 or 3 Ziploc bags (I buy the freezer bags--they're sturdier and have a gusset at the bottom so they expand just a wee bit more, allowing me to cram in more stuff), and when I travel, I double-bag my liquids into 2 Ziplocs just in cast there's a spill.
Though I still don't include the kitchen sink (yet), I did used to carry a handheld can opener, for when I ate canned fruit, etc. for lunch.

How did I not ever know this about you? I think we were separated at birth...you're my not-even-slightly-identical-twin sister!
(I've got a can opener on my Leatherman. Yes, I've used it.)
How about this video...how much of this applies to you?

1. Our OCD mother probably started singing "One of These Things is Not Like The Other" at our birth, and sent me away with a different stork.
The main warning sign was that you were taller and had facial hair. Obviously.
2. That video was hilarious!!! I may... or may not... have been known to color-code my M&M's (though not into fancy shapes, honest--same-size piles... possibly.)
I'm thinking that I shouldn't answer your question further based on legal grounds.
To be honest, I'm afraid to go in for any kind of analysis because I'd probably be diagnosed with everything from ADHD to OCD to PMS.... Er... I'd better stop there.
D'oh!
