Read some more of the massive Best of GW volume (signed, yay!) last night. And ended up with a very strange dream...
It involved members of this list (I don't think I've met any of you, but you were all there). For some reason we were chanting titles and key phrases of the stories and novels and fingering rosaries.
I can't even blame eating pizza/curry/fill in your favorite dream-inducing late meal here.

I've met a few of us - better looking than you'd expect from an SF fan group!
The nice thing about my name is if you put it in google images, it's really me that comes up. There are no other Marc Aramini's. I should try that with some of the other list members and see what happens, but would it be cyber stocking? hmmm.

cyber stocking is even MORE sinister than cyber stalking

If I simply put your name in google images, I get a lot of pics of people who look like asian girls... is there something about your mascara preferences that we'd be interested in knowing?
Oh, wait, I was missing the -i.

How do you know that isn't what I do in real life? Huh? Oh ... I mean, * yeah*, that is a weird dream!

I don't think that's cyberstalking (to use your corrected spelling). If people put pictures of themselves on the Web, it's so other people can see them. This is me:

You look quite a bit like I had imagined, oddly enough. And if you have a picture of yourself in your Severian costume, it would probably be better than any picture of Severian I've ever seen.

Thanks Jerry! And thanks for the link! It is nice to put a face to the names. You teach physics and math? I always loved math, but I could never teach physics.
I actually do change the way I train for those costumes. The Bruce Lee one I do a whole lot of sprinting and supersets of bodyweight exercises for like a month before Halloween. When I did the Crow, I tried to become morphologically similar to Brandon Lee, but since I'm only 5'8'' I had to create the illusion of height by hollowing out my physique - I'd have to do the same thing to do Severian real justice - and throw in some clever boots; I'm just not that tall.

My guesses are:
1. Length under relativistic Lorentz contraction.
2. Loop's electrical induction.
3. Lolita.
