[Well before they pawn it all off, they might think...]

First looking at the pictures, whoever found my wallet would be taken back by how disheveled I look on my drivers license. If he or she kept digging, they would hopefully find my student ID, which instead suggests that I'm just a weirdo rather than a drug addict. The next items found would be a debit card  and a couple shopping rewards cards; one for Hot Topic and one for Borders, which hopefully adds some intelligence (as well as additional weirdness...) to the mixture. Aside from the cards, he or she would find my money (goodbye, money) and then a sad bundle of receipts from my bank account. Just enough so I know how much I can spend, but no record of where it all went. Then lastly, he or she would find one lonely Pokemon card tucked away in some extra pocket for no apparent reason. Upon closer inspection, it's worth noting that the card is written in another language. The final image a person my put together is that I'm a nerdy teen who spends too much of her money.
Now that we've had a chance to poke and laugh at what I carry around every day, I'd like to move on to what's missing in this puzzle.


Lacking the actual person whom this wallet belongs to, there are some aspects of me that the wallet-finder would be unaware of. A big thing my wallet failed to explain would be my interests. I'm not trying to disown my Dutch Pikachu card, but I do pursue other things. Also, they wouldn't know my personality correctly or anything about my values. For example, I'm actually inclined to save up my money, so assumptions would be wrong in that case.
Overall, the wallet provides a meager outline of myself, but smudges some details like how I spend my time and what I'm like in person, then leaves some out altogether. Being a fairly new wallet though, this is about what i would expect from it.
