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.
<lj-cut>1. A red rose.
2. My (well used) C15th bastard sword.
3. My cut-off, with all it's badges.
4. A bottle of Ardbeg, and two proper whisky glasses (not tumblers!)
5. My mexican cookbook.
6. My posey ring, inscribed "Vous et nul autre"
7. A photo of my family.
8. My copy of White Dwarf issue 13.
9. My homemade "Best Daddy" award.
10. A copy of <a href="http://www.classicbookshelf.com/library/edmond_rostand/cyrano_de_bergerac/">Cyrano De Bergerac, by Edmond Rostand</a>
11. My mud-spattered camelback (cycling rucksack)
12. A considerable amount of random clutter.</lj-cut>
I'd be interested to know what twelve objects other people would choose to represent me, if they were doing it on my behalf.

From:
no subject
1. your cowboy hat
2. the big necklace with all the pendants on
3. a bike magazine
4. a cordless drill (or several)
5. big boots
6. your 18th century waistcoat
7. a bottle of wheatgerm conditioner
8. pictures of you drawn by the kids
9. an Ozy and Millie cartoon
10. an Eggplants CD
11. a large box of LPs
12. ... and to really sum you up the box would have to be selected to be too small to contain all these objects so they were crammed in and the box only half-closed and held together with the aid of bungee clips... :o)
