Have you heard of a chinese portrait?  It's an association of objects
and yourself.  Choose a whole list of objects and include then in:
`if I were a XXX, I would be a YYY because ZZZ' 
 
For example, `If I were a weapon, I would be a rusty razor blade because
I am uncaring, petty and sadistic' makes you think immediatly of some
violent low life with no morals.  Whereas `If I were a weapon, I would
be a well oiled katana because I am sharp, deadly and my soul is pure'
gives you a Musashi-type hero.

Samples could be weapon, color, food, drink, tree, element, animal,
supernatural creature, real life person, imaginary person, film, book,
computer, historical event, etc...
