A group of friends w/ whom I can share my passion for any and all things Jane Austen -- but wait, I already have that! So then, I want for nothing but to be able to wish all these friends a very happy holiday season.

Count me in for the holodeck : a personal tour of Pemberly, version 2.0
if not available
a fun filled 2 week vacation as Lizzy
or, if D'Arcy not available
a fun filled romance with Colonel Fitswilliam, and an allowance according to needs

Holodeck program? Please explain.
I've been wondering about some parlour games as presents for P&P people. What do you think of 'Pass Out' ,a drinking game for Mr. Hurst? 'Scuples" for E&D (not v. romantic I grant you) 'Balderdash' for the Wickhams?

"Holodeck" is a Star Trek invention where real people can program a novel or situation with made up people and interact with them in a special holographic room. Is that clear? :-) Amy, may I borrow your program from time to time?
Re games: How about "Outburst" for Mrs. Bennet, "Trivial Pursuit" for Mr. Collins, "Monopoly" for Lady Catherine, "Stratego" for Wickham, "Solitaire" for Mary...

Oh, Caroline, I like your idea very much indeed! But he should be wet and nude so as to not damage the wrapping paper, and with a stragically placed bow, maybe two, one left and one right, just in case!

Amy -- I too wish to borrow your holodeck program. Could program all of the
great scenes and go from the dance to the pond to the music room (for 'the look')

????? Cheryl, imagination fails me; I can think of an appropriate placement for one bow, centrall, but one left and one right? you might encounter some resistance there....

The Big Guy from the North Pole can just bring me Colin's signed contract to star in another Austen film in 1997. If he can't twist his (C's) arm enough for that, then I'll accept the greenbowed/mistletoed gift mentioned in the above entries.

I'd like to reserve the Holodeck from the buttercups on.
I'm a greedy girl.

No Bows, no bows, I Beg you! Wet OR dry, costumed however. I'm not fussy, I'm not proud.......... Anyway, Cheryl, what's the good of a present that you don't have to unwrap, first?

Right and left bows were intended, no doubt, for right and left thigh. But where, prey tell, the mistletoe?

I want a holodeck too. I will program him (would it be an it or a him?) to be my exercise partner. We will take long walks and play golf and tennis. And when I am tired, I will program him to prefer to lie down and rest with me until tomorrow.

How about a Time Machine back to the Regency -- but just for a couple of weeks?

"It can send me back permanently."
Only if I get to be rich while I am there. With my heritage, I would more likely me kitchen help!

My ancestors who were in England at the time were small farmers like Robert Martin or shopkeepers like Mrs. Ford of Highbury (see my genealogy pages) -- respectable, but not at all "genteel".

My mom keeps trying to tell me this, Katy, but I refuse to believe her.
