Contents of a Character's Wallet by Gadget

June 1st, 2006 4:26 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: In Jack Finney's short story, "Contents of a Dead Man's Pocket", the character - clinging to the side of a building - imagines what the world will think of him if they only have the contents of his pockets to consider.

Empty your pockets, your wallet, your purse out onto a table- tally the contents and tell us what the world would think of you, if they had only those effects to consider. Then, decide upon one thing to add to the contents of your pockets, your wallet, or your purse, which will better enunciate the truth of your person to the world.

Contents of my pockets:
Wallet (see below)

Cell phone with ultraworn faceplate
Company Pager with skull sticker
keychain containing 2 keys, bottle opener, and mini blacklight
Sunglasses
Pen

Contents of my wallet:

California Drivers License
ATM card with "ATM" written across it in black sharpie
Yahoo Visa card
Medical and Dental Insurance cards
Flex spending mastercard
"this card intentionally left blank" card
$47 + 4 stamped 2 dollar bills
A blank check
Library Card
Mostly full Coffee Card from local cafe
Rock Climbing Gym Membership Card
"Escape from New York Pizza" card
Thai Food Frequent lunch card
RFID card for building access
4 of my business cards
3 reciepts
a cheat sheet of my SO's sizes


What the world would think:

It seems pretty obvious to me that my wallet pretty accurately reflects who I am. There's a good chunk of technology, a reflection of financial stability, evidence of good (gym) and bad (pizza) habits, and a healthy dose of silliness.

The one thing I'd add:

The one thing I'd really like to add to my wallet is a lock, but I'm not sure how I'd go about that. I work in network security, so a lock would reflect yet another portion of my persona. Since putting a padlock on my wallet isn't easy,
I'll add a BRC sticker to one of the items in my pockets. My participation and volenteerism with Burning Man has contributed quite a bit to my identity.
