mistraltoes.So, say you were meeting a new person - blind date, new friend, who knows. And you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to ponder over.
What would you put in the box?
I'm assuming here that I'll get everything in the box back...
1) A copy of an issue of Refractions or Staked Blake (though one could consider that cheating a bit, since it does contain words by me)
2) the battered RSV Bible I've had since I was a teenager
3) "The Roar of Love" Second Chapter of Acts CD
4) a broken/cracked mirror
5) CD-box containing my Debian Linux discs
6) my old M.C. Escher calendar
7) "The Napoleon of Notting Hill" by G.K. Chesterton
8) my "fire" bead necklace + earrings set
9) since I wouldn't have time to make a compilation CD, I'd include a tape I made ages ago titled "SF Theme Strikes Back" which is a compilation of quotes from SF shows, SF themes, and matching music/songs. (I did three of these; guess which one this was?)
10) my "I am not expendable, I am not stupid and I'm not going" Avon T-shirt
11) "Blackie" my soft-toy black panther kitten
12) The DVD set of the most recent BBC version of "Pride and Predjudice"

That I am imperfect. That my appearance is even more imperfect. And that I don't put much on appearances.
I guess I don't understand the 'which one' question. Unless, noting the title, it was made up of Star Wars stuff?
No, it's because it's the second one. They were "Music on an SF Theme", "SF Theme Strikes Back" and "The Search For SF Theme". The first one just had music, no quotes.
I'd like to do one of those again sometime, this time burned to CD.
Though I think we could assume you'd have time to make a compilation CD.
Not the way my life is at the moment. I feel like the Red Queen, running to stay still.
