Sure, they may be hearing wonderful music and having great big buckets o' fun, but, we-- WE are participating in a thoughtful exchange of ideas... really, I think we all know who'll come out on top in the long run... them. But I'll answer anyway. ;-) I noticed you picked thoughtful, educationally significant things. I, in refletcion of my selfish and shallow nature, will just pick things that are important to me. ;-) Actually, I take that back. I'm changing the questioon for my own purposes (you don't mind, right? Hell, its not like much else is going on here ;-) I'm instead picking three things that I think are important to me, that I think would tell these capulites a bit about the life of Jen, as opposed to life in the 90s in general. 1) My ticket stubs. For quite awhile now, I've saved the stubs for everything, including some really great moments in my life. These include the first time I saw Rent (the original obsession ;-), my plane tickets from my big Europe trip, concerts ranging from fruvous, to bnl to jill sobule to billy joel to rem to lilith faire... lots of great memories. =) 2)My senior year composite photo. I had just the most amazing senior year of college, and they were almost all with these poeple. these are the kind of friends that i know I could go 10 years without seeing, and sit down and have lunch with and it'd be like nothing ever changed, you know? 3)Our 1997 Christmas Card pcture. *Yes* I have a family that does one of those photo Christmas cards, and since I happen to actually get along with my brother and sister really well, and I look much better in that picture than this past year's, this is the one I'd go for. Besides, they'd want to know what this crazy person who goes to all these concerts looks like, right??

Dad, who has been fruitlessly trying for years to figure out his geneaology, received a copy of his grandmother's death certificate and got a bit of a surprise: some of the family was listed as Canadian. Given that one of their daughters was named Alberta and another Alta Louise, I think I can guess what province they came from. Obviously "Canadian" is no more of a race than "American" is, and they moved to the U.S. and presumably became citizens so the point is sorta moot. But for what it's worth, if you use that as the defining factor, I'm one-eighth Canadian. ;) not bad! ::jenn chuckles:: - - jenn, who was long ago adopted by friends as an honorary Canadian, anyway ------------------------------ Date: 21 Feb 1999 07:34:38 GMT From: limezinger@aol.commmmmmmmm (LimeZinger) Subject: Re: hey, non-fruconners! > OK wow! let's just get 1 thing straight: I AM LINNELL GIRL.... okay okay!

She (Betsy) is an employee of Target. She sees all kinds of people there. There's this one girl who is in rather often, but TODAY, she was wearing a special shirt. It was black, and said "I like Canadian Boys" on the front and had a Canadian flag. Betsy, devoted friend that she is, ran up to this relative stranger and said, "AUGH! That is a great shirt! Where'd you get that shirt?" and the girl replies, "Canada." Of course, my initial reaction was A) surprise at the presence of a Moxy Fruvous fan in Target in Woodinville, WA and B) assumption that the shirt was, indeed, a Moxy Fruvous shirt. Now, I'm not so sure. Betsy did say that it said "like" and not "". So now I'm wondering...is there another shirt out there about Canadian boys, or was this girl, indeed, an Eastside Fruhead?

Okay, hello weighty question! Geez. kat sets the precedent with this deep response and everything, and I'm supposed to follow it? Great. Alright. Three things, huh? Here goes nothin...now wait a second. Is this assuming that the world is gonna be obliterated or something, and that the only things to survive are what's in the capsule? Otherwise, why bother to bring any classical works of literature, cause the likelihood of them still being around after the millennium turns is quite high? I mean, I'm probably not "suspending my disbelief" enough here, but I just don't get it. But, alright, I'll bite. Three things that I think are really important are: * a big ol' stack of "the classics." MY classics. Good stuff. Shakespeare, of course...tons of Vonnegut, Catcher in the Rye, Sophie's World, The Little Prince, The Loved One, Lolita, The Oedipus Cycle, the plays of Oscar Wilde, numerous poetry anthologies (including Auden, Milay, Byron, Marlowe, Atwood, and Yeats), some Kerouac, Inherit the Wind, lotsa Shaw, some Robertson Davies, and goodness knows what else. Stuff I think should be read by all. * a big ol' stack of some really good cookbooks (because, face it, people don't know how to cook anymore and it's pathetic) * well, I'd break into Marsh's Free Museum in Long Beach, WA, and steal "Jake the Alligator Man." They've got him. In a case. You know, from the Weekly World News? Half man, half gator, ALL TERROR. He was found in the desert, like, petrified or something. I'd bring Jake. Okay, whatever, it's late and I'm tired and it's too hard to think up a third thing, so Jake was my fallback. I mean, JEEZ, what do I know about what the next generation needs?

So last night we got a LN poster and had Dave and Jian sign it, which we will be hanging in his nursery (Other kids get Mother Goose, this one gets the King of Spain). We will also be making a trip to Toys R Us shortly to buy an Oscar puppet (and when he's old enough, we'll teach him the story...) and a copy of Green Eggs and Ham.

His mother is a huge Fruvous fan, and for obvious reasons she couldn't make the show last night with the rest of my family (something about being 9 months pregnant...) So we were hoping to be able to give her a tape of the show, so at least she'll be able to have heard it... Only I thought of this *during* the show!! So I don't have a tape!! HELP!!!

It was really great to have even a small window on the great time everybody was having.
