"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 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, yourself, so that's not allowed."

1. The original Starblaze edition of the first four-book Elfquest story.
2. A Revolutionary Girl Utena DVD box set and soundtrack.
3. One of my drawings of Anna.
4. A puzzle of a coloured version of this with some pieces missing.
5. The "No on 9" button I still have, or anything from the other fundie-funded anti-gay campaigns of the last few years.
6. The rules for the Elfinkind Digest
7. The flute I made named Popcorn
8. 26 Italian Songs and Arias, with my own rendition of "Amarilli, mia bella," included with the accompaniment CD.
9. A Brief History of Rhyme, M. C. Hawking
10. Anvil of Stars, by Greg Bear
11. "Cathedral," by me.
12. If it's to be prepared and opened immediately, a sushi-heavy bento box. ^_^ Otherwise, a good-quality loose-leaf English breakfast tea.

I'd also probably try to slip a copy of Publisher or the Sendmail bat book in there if I could get one or two more, but then again, I might not.

And if I didn't think it was cheating, I'd trade out item nine for a pink mini iPod containing a subset of the music I have in iTunes.

"What one thing would you add to the box to represent me or my tastes?"
