Contents of a Character's Wallet by r0ck c4ndy

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.

My wallet when dumped out on my bed contained...
6 pennies
1 nickel
2 dimes
1 quarter
2 dollar bill
1 10 dollar bill
1 reciept for chiptle (Yum!)
2 expired credit cards I thought I had lost years ago
1 caribou coffee card from my x-mas stocking
1 debit card
2 Picture ID's
1 business card from a woman at school who does student certification
1 ninth grade school ID picture (where'd that come from??)

Basically my wallet says that I am a prissy boring law student. How terrible! I think I should add this last picture of my friend Nora and I. It gives a much clearer (althought blurry) picture of who I am. You can see tattoos, I'm holding hands with a girlfriend (I like physical contact with friends, especially female friends) and we are wearing tutu's at a waterpark. I love theme parties, and wearing tutus and doing fun public stuff. Although maybe a stranger wouldn't get all that from my picture. I can't think of any other wallet sized way to convey what I certainly hope is my non-boringness in the face of great boring odds!! (being in law school)
