Descriptive Dozen Lemming

[qos]

This is a more-interesting-than-some lemming I found on gothic_coop's journal:

Imagine you are 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 look at/read/listen to/taste/whatever.

What would you put in the box? And a copy of your journal or a link to your LJ would be the same thing as just telling them directly, so that's not allowed.


My Descriptive Dozen

1. Picture of my parents, my sister and me.

2. A copy of my Bachlelor's degree thesis: "A Director's Analysis of Three Plays About Queen Christina of Sweden"

3. "Sacred Journey" Portrait (A painting of me as a Celtic/Indian woman, with my daughter on my back looking over my shoulder. I'm carrying a staff with a crystal on the top, have a pouch with a bear paw on it hanging from my belt, and am wearing a medallion with a double-headed dragon on it. I'm in front of a round portal that looks out on the stars, and most people see me moving forward toward them. A jaguar is at my feet.)

4. The manuscript of my 3/4 finished novel "Occupation"

5. My Gaming notebook

6. A "Prove Your Worth" B-5 card. It has a picture of Delenn and Sheridan walking down a corridor and says below it: "On Babylon-5 proving yourself requires commitment and action. One must not only walk the walk but talk the talk".

7. The Crafted Cup: Ritual Mysteries of the Goddess and the Grail"

8. My copy of An Early Christian Reader -- The NT arranged with the books in chronological order, plus other early church documents like the Didache, annotated with several years' worth of my notes and underlining from both an academic and devotional perspective

9. Statue of Athena

10. The movie "The Last Starfighter"

11. My Masters Degree transcript

12. Beloved Exile by Parke Godwin -- Guinevere's story after the fall of Camelot

You know that is what I would think you would put in there. But no picture of the littel one?

She's part of the "Sacred Journey" portrait. And it's an *amazing* likeness of her, especially since it is a painting.

Ah cool, I did not know that. I guess that has more meaning then a photo.
