Bronzie's Answers
1. A set of 8 used Mini Discs, for recording my own stuff (The Resistance, Cafe 80s, etc)
2. I don't remember who my first crush was, so I will go with the first one to burn himself into my memory. I am unsure if he knew exactly how I felt, but there were a few interactions that upon later analysis indicate he was to some degree aware of the effect he had on me. On a few occasions I think he attempted to test the waters, only to be pushed away by a younger, closeted version of me, too scared of outing myself to open up to what I actually wanted.
3. 1994 Rocked. It has its challenges, but they were easy to bulldoze through with the invincibility of youth. One of my favourite years.
4. City, as long as I can drive to and vacation in the countryside at will. Eventually, I'd probably prefer the countryside to settle down into, so long as I have quality access to the resources and services I require, and nice spaces in which to interact with good people.
5. 1982 Grid Compass. My current computational needs are met by what I have, and a bit of classic retrocomputing cool is very hard to say "no" to.
