Contents of a Character's Wallet by mock piratey turtle

June 3rd, 2006 6:43 PM

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 purse:

3 "clock out of order" stickers (from Rubin!)
1 sticker waiting to Love Back (also from Rubin)
3 and 5 of clubs, and two Hen cards (left over from Package from insane)
1 plastic baggie (Redwood Bagel Co.) with extra "fortunes" from Fortune Not Cookie task
1 muni discount coupon (Muni to Bart)
1 bart ticket (stamped 5$, but i don't believe that is accurate)
1 deck playing cards
1 pair sunglasses
1 notebook
1 Standard Diary belonging to Harry Hock which i found yesterday. (anyone know harry?)
1 unmailed letter to Jeannine Jones
2 black gloves with fingers cut off
$2.62 in change
1 plastic spoon
1 plastic dipper (?)
one bottle of Hydrating Body Lotion (labeled as from The Monte Carlo Las Vegas)
1 lipstick
3 and a half crayons (red, brown, green, and half a blue)
5 pieces of candy (that are really inedible)
4 pens
2 U of Asthetimatics buttons
1 i heart psychoanalytic theory button
one small Swiss army knife
2 band aids
1 unrecoverably broken beaded necklace
1 Elephant Bar business card
1 receipt for "Grad Product/Taxable $23.93
1 receipt for Copy Central $104.56
12 bits of small trash
1 small leather wallet

Contents of Wallet:
drivers license
Berkeley Student ID
International Student ID
Credit Card
Check Card
Business card for eye doctor


A person perusing these effects might come to the conclusion that i was a psychoanalytic grad student who was a bit of a packrat, travels frequently by public transportation, is more than a little bit crazy, who steals people’s diaries and opens their mail, and is likely a card player.

Some of this is spot on, some way off. Unfortunately, both my purse and my wallet were stolen about a month ago, so this reflects little more than a months worth of accumulation. i had a lot more interesting stuff in there before that. like my fucking digital camera, without which, it is *very difficult* to play this game.

In order to more accurately reflect myself, I ought to carry around a small plastic toy, maybe a pirate or a monkey…
