Hello, Swap-bot Land,

How many times have you told yourself (or some very kind friend) 'Oh i wish people would understand and know me as i am! I wish someone would come into my -oh so fantastic- World'

And how many times has your friend or inner voice answered: 'They never will, unless you tell and show them yourself...'

Now is the time to make a stand for it.

In this swap, we will imagine that we, humans, are on the edge of extinction and planning to send a sample of each individual to the stars in the hope that some survivor or an alien species will find them all and remember what we were.

In this swap, you only have one box, one little box, to tell as many things as you can about who and what you are.

The minimum size of the box you will have to fill should allow an old VHS tape+case to fit in, that's for the volume. If you prefer a cross shaped box, that's your business. For convenience, let's say then that it should allow a liquefied old VHS tape+case to fit in :)

It is up to you what you put in there - Books - CDs - Old wrappings (clean ones please, we are civilized humans :) ) - Photographs - Pictures - Drawings - Letters - Artwork of any shape - Whether or not you enclose edible goods will have to be decided between you and your partner. - Adding a little extra profile based for your partner is optional, but it would be nice, unless you have filled your box up to the brim already.

BUT try and be creative, be fully, truly, deeply yourself, be the best you can be, be honest as you have never been before, have no fear about being judged or teased. Be the person you would say about: 'Oh! She (or he) has a very intense personality, i did(n't) agree with everything she/he is, but she/he is definitely a person worth having heard of, a person to remember'

To join this swap, not only will you need to be capable of putting a lot of your self in it, but you will also need to accept the idea that a total stranger will know about you maybe more than your close relatives.

Be absolutely certain you do before joining.

This swap is opened to everyone, but i will be extremely careful about who i let in. As i did for my previous swaps, i will be checking each and everyone's motivation and encouraging you to COMMUNICATE, either with me or your partner, preferably both. This swap can be FAR TOO intimate to be lazy about flaking prevention.

By entering, you implicitly swear that you are trustworthy and open-minded. I will not have anyone judging anyone else. Behave the way you expect others to behave towards you.

I'll be answering every and question!

I love this idea... have even thought of doing one of my very own "time capsule."

The size of the box should be around 48 inches squared, am I correct?
