not like schrodinger's in the least.
seen on notlefthanded's journal...
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. play, "rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead".
2. membership card, us fencing association. (it comes to mind that no one said how big this box is...)
3. registration card, comanche tribe of oklahoma.
4. membership card, nra (expired). (this story to provide hours of entertainment)
5. university class ring, inscription "to s. from g&g".
6. traffic citation, warning, new jersey state police.
7. a story titled "prom night", written by me.
8. a pair of cat-eye glasses.
9. photo, me and gorgeous blonde woman with big smile (billie rae).
10. ticket stub to "the complete works of william shakespeare (abridged)", criterion theatre, london.
11. photo, my brother with mark mcguire at spring training camp.
12. cd, "abbey road".
everything i picked has a great story that goes along with it. some items have more than one story.
i figure the dude's in a dead run by item 7.
