Do you know the difference between cynicism, irony and sarcasm?
Can you please tell this too as much people as you can, because I'll kill the next person who asks me if I'm being ironical?

Okay, here goes!
Reinholdt's Riveting and Rhetorical Questions:
Spoiler
What question would you like to be asked?
I dunno, there's just so many questions that could be asked, so I'll just reply with the most generic question EVER. "What is your favourite color?"
What traits do you look for in an ideal pet?
Ease of care is kind of necessary. I can't keep high-maintenance pets. I also like it to be something that interacts and such. And I would prefer it to be cuddly, though, well, I keep betta fish, so they don't HAVE to be cuddly. But interactive is important. I also have a cat, but she's more a family pet. Or the resident monster, I guess.
What is the square root of Pi?
π^0.5
What's your favorite OOTS strip?
I have several, but I guess the main one is when the ghost-martyrs from the Sapphire Guard showed up with Soon. It was just a really powerful scene, I think.
What's your favorite Erfworld strip?
I'm not sure I really have one, actually. It's been ages since I read it, anyways.
How does your ITP persona relate to you in real life?
Hmm... I don't really have much of a persona here, really. I'm just... me.
Sadistic choice time! You must choose to save either the life of your most loved one or the lives of a large group of strangers. Which do you choose?
I'd still feel terrible about it, but I'd go for my most loved one. Most direct consequence for me AND that person would actually trust me and count on me.
What is your favorite word?
Either dusty or thingy or kitty or eerie.
What is your least favorite word?
the f-bomb. And not because of its meaning, but because it just sounds so.... crude. The sound of it, basically. Duck and muck, for example, sound a bit better because the d and m just progress better to the "uck" sound, but an f just doesn't. It sounds out of place, I guess.
What makes you enthusiastic?
Lots of things! Mostly things to do with my hobbies. Or talking to friends.
What disappoints you?
Lots of things too. For example, failing at a goal I set for myself.
What sound do you love?
The sound of a piano. Or the voice of someone I am very fond of.
What sound do you hate?
ANYTHING loud. Yes. Anything. Even sounds I would normally like, if they're loud, I hate them.
What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Psychology
What profession would you not like to participate in?
Medicine. I mean. I COULD, I guess. I'd just faint at the sight of blood, so I'd be a very poor doctor.
It's blue! (It's deep and dark and makes me think of nice, calm things, and it reminds me of water and the sky as the sun's last rays are disappearing in the sky).

Dragons, phoenixes and unicorns.
17. Enough of this! I am your arch-nemesis! Where will we fight our final, climactic battle? Oh no! Well, we'll have to fight it there, on top of the laser lighthouse.
18. In #17, above, did you defeat me? If so, how?
Yes, barely! I knocked you down with my cane. Then I proceeded to fall too.
19. Do you prefer the silly questions or the serious ones?

Because it's fun and because I know hardly anyone is going to ask me anything anyways.

Red, did you know that the index finger signals the elemental power of wind in ninjutsu? They do? Er... yes! Yes, I totally knew it!

I was at a fairly dull school, not being challenged and getting bored. Would have been nice to know that things get better, but it happened soon enough anyway that it makes little difference.

Love?
It's wonderful. Nothing like it. Friendship?
Necessary for happiness, I feel Freedom?
Pretty important

Uh, green? Yeah, let's go with green.
What does your essence taste like?
Tastes like chicken
What’s your elemental affinity?

Probably Serp. She seems like fun.
Are you part of any other online communities?
A couple, but this is the one I frequent the most
What fictional character do you most identify with?
Gregory House. He's like a more extreme version of me.
Socks: Yes or no?
Yes
What’s your pony name?
Pass
Do you know any Playgrounders in real life?
Nope. Not a one.

I quite like Stephen King, but I haven't read a lot of that. Dan Abnett's books always manage to grab me, he's a viable contender. Lovecraft too, he's up there. Probably Abnett though, overall.
What was the last work of fiction you read?
I'm not sure, actually. Probably some lovecraft, either Herbert West: Reanimator or the Case of Charles Dexter Ward.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Ooh, that's a good question. Somewhere sonwy probably, up a mountain somewhere. Other than that, not too bothered.

If so, what event really drove it home that you weren't in your own country anymore?
Hmm. Stuff like foreign money and foreign flags doesn't really do it, it's when people behave differently that really marks the difference for me. Or a bizarre local delicacy or something like that.
What place/s do you most and least want to visit?
Most... Probably either Wacken Open Air festival or Rock In Rio. Least want to... I'm not sure. S****horpe maybe?
What have you recently discovered or worked out about yourself?
That I'm awesome. Also, I get man-periods (Though without the bleeding out of my yoo-hoo).
In what ways have you changed since you were half your current age?
Oh, loads. I've become a musician, I've figured out what I wanna do with my life, I've had relationships.. the list goes on.
In what ways have you stayed the same?
I'm still a bloke. Same name. Not many, to be honest, beyond the really mundane.
What are you most proud of?
Ooh, tricky question. I think I'm proud that I kept up music. In hindsight, that was definitely the right choice.
What are you most ashamed of?
Probably the way my first serious relationship ended. I acted like a child, and ruined what could have been a strong friendship for over a year.
What is your greatest achievement?
Either getting into university (still don't know if I've done that) or becoming a (quasi-)professional trumpeter.
What is your greatest regret?
I'm not sure, really. I don't think I could name one thing that stands out.
What do you consider the best and worst of all your senses (that is, what do you think is the best and worst smell, taste, etc)?
Oh, that's a hard one. Best:
Smell - Fresh bread
Taste - It sounds odd, but second-hand coffee. Kissing someone after they've just drank coffee is wonderful. That's a memory that's stayed with me for about 3 years now.
Sight - I'm not sure. Probably some sort of dramatic vista, like mountains or some such.
Sound - A really high-quality singer. Always sends shivers down my spine.
Touch - Probably the feeling of my SO's body up against mine. Even if we're just hugging, nothing beats it. Worst:
Smell - The usual stuff; faeces, vomit etc.
Taste - Not a massive fan of quiche.
Sight - Those bloody hats English women wear to the Royal Ascot. I mean, why? Really, why?
Sound - A badly-played French Horn.
Touch - someone I don't like invading my personal space.
