(no subject)

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. Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru" on DVD
2. Ray Bradbury's "The Halloween Tree"
3. A bottle of my homebrew
4. A rubber chicken
5. The Prayer of St. Francis
6. A case of Vernor's
7. My MIT class ring
8. The U.S. constitution
9. An ethernet cable
10. Pierre Riche's "Daily Life in the World of Charlemagne"
11. "The Rough Guide to First-Time Around the World"
12. Enough CDs to hold the following:

• Rush: YYZ (live version), The Manhattan Project, Big Money
  
• Peter Gabriel: Solsbury Hill, Games Without Frontiers
  
• Elton John: Funeral for a Friend
  
• Depeche Mode: Walking in My Shoes
  
• Electric Light Orchestra: Fire on High
  
• Crash Test Dummies: Superman's Song, At My Funeral
  
• Traffic: John Barleycorn Must Die
  
• Moxy Fruvous: River Valley, The Drinking Song
  
• Alice in Chains: Rooster (but not Man in the Box, even though this meme has earwormed me with it)
  
• U2: Pride
  
• Everlast: What It's Like
  
• Alan Parsons Project: Old and Wise
  
• The Dresden Dolls: Half Jack
  
• Jim's Big Ego: The Ballad of Barry Allen, Slow
  
• Jim Infantino: When the Great Man Falls
  
• Shriekback: Hammerhead
  
• Boston: Foreplay (but *not* Long Time)
  
• Jethro Tull: Wind Up
  
• Blue Oyster Cult: Veteran of the Psychic Wars
  
• "Atalanta" from the Free to Be You and Me album
  
• Pink Floyd: Great Gig in the Sky (but it'd have to be the right live version to go on this disc)
  
  EDIT: I'd misremembered the Shriekback song. I originally had put Nemesis. Now fixed.

Your box is kind of time-consuming...
