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. A Confederate General from Big Sur by Richard Brautigan
2. A picture of my dog
3. A Guinness Tap Handle
4. A Guitar Pic
5. E.E. Cummings Complete Poems
6. True Romance on DVD
7. A pillow
8. A small statue of Buddah
9. An Irish Tri-Color
10. A pair of 8-hole Docs, size 12
11. A pound of bacon
12. A tattoo gun

very interesting.

14 lines that are not about pudding

i've been the most offensive person in the room before
but never by accident or based on a misunderstanding
i once laid on a table and had sex with a whore
because that kind of relationship is less demanding

i edit my thoughts, but try to let my words have their fun
so you always hear my opinion in a diplomatic way
then i let my feelings fly like lead from a gun
and the truth is fucked no matter what i say

i trade in generalities to avoid conflict and strife
though occasionally my stand is against the grain
i've believed i was better than others at times in my life
i've been known to struggle through joy and revel in pain

since there is no single fact to distill all i can be
i'll leave you with these words, and see if you leave me
