had to take a shot at this one�

So, say you were meeting a new person - blind date, new friend, who knows. And you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to ponder over.

What would you put in the box? No cheating - you're not allowed to include things such as links to your livejournal.

1. a photo album with pictures of my family & friends

2. a pauldren made by Helmschmid and Durer

3. The Nightfly by Donald Fagen

4. Closing Time by Tom Waits

5. Rapture by Peter Mulvey

6. Say Something by Ellis Paul

7. Mister Heartbreak by Laurie Anderson

8. a collection of poems by people who have inspired me

9. paints, brushes & a blank canvas

10. a pound of coffee & a semi-sweet chocolate bar

11. a pack of cigarettes & a copy of my chest x-ray

12. my son�s handprint done in rainbow watercolors
