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. a dutar (or if it won't fit, a picture of one or a replica - no one said how big a box)
2. "Songs of Leonard Cohen" CD
3. a skein of purple yarn and knitting needles
4. An Uzbek paxta gul tea set
5. green tea
6. some of my field recordings of my teacher playing maqom
7. a picture of me and R at Annwfn
8. a tape of the Britten Pears Baroque Orchestra (with me playing on it)
9. dark chocolate
10. an air-cooled VW engine
11. one of my martial arts gis or maybe a yoga mat
12. cat hair

Okay so I guess its going to be a big heavy box with the dutar and the VW engine.....maybe a matchbox car version of daisy and a hand held replica of a dutar would make it more viable.

yeah I was thinking about how if I was doing this for my self that I was 2 years ago my choices would have been very different, 10 years ago even more differnet, and the person i hope to be in 5 years would have still another box.
