No, but I think Gnomish Wanderer will be unhappy now that her query about sweet potatoes goes unanswered.

I should just answer that, shouldn't I?

Well, I couldn't swim or even float at all growing up and I started to get rather crabby about the whole concept of swimming. People would mention it and I would attempt to shut down the idea. But freshman year of college they had an introduction to swimming class I could take as some kind of general fitness class. It was a pretty great class and since then I really enjoy a nice slow swim.

Was that explanation too lengthy?

Not for me, at least. I read quickly, so long text for others isn't necessarily long text for me.

What is your favorite book, person below me?

I have so many. It's hard to determine my favorite. My favorite series, at this point in time, is The Dresden Files. And my favorite of those books is Proven Guilty. But I also am really fond of Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.

Do you like Christopher Moore?

No. Nor had I ever heard of it before now.

Do you enjoy working your way through dense writing, or do you find it too arduous?

Is it dense like old-world rye bread? Or is it dense like trampled clay soil? Is it dense like glittery lump of granite, or is it dense like a slow elementary school child?

Sorry, I'm just being cute. I love literary density, but discursive density like a finance textbook or a license agreement hurts my butt.



Do you admire any public figure, like a politician?

Learning how to program C++ while writing a fantasy novel while watching Adventure Time while listening to Metallica.

I'm really looking forward to watching Legend of Korra, watching an Avatar: The Last Airbender marathon to get prepared.

How high on the Dork meter does that end up?

I've got a surprisingly low self-esteem, even if I try really hard to hide it. But I'm sure that's not too unusual to hear, just something I felt like sharing.

How has your day been?

Been pretty good. Was afraid that my depression was relapsing for a while, but that was driven away by good friends, the Playground, and a productive evening working on computer code.

What about computer programming frustrates you the most?

Probably the fact that I do not understand it at all.


Do you have a special skill which is considered unusual?

@V It's unusual enough.
I just can't act. Or sing. Or dance.
Looks like I'll just have to write a depressing Broadway play instead.

It's not that unusual, but I think I'm a pretty good actor, and my improv is above average. Like I said, not unusual, but it's really my only talent.

Do you have a favorite play?

I don't think I know enough plays to have a favorite. Though I recently saw Copenhagen, which I thought was quite good.

Do you have a tendency towards comfort or style when shopping for clothing? That's not to say that you can't have both.

@v Ah, frugality. Typical of me to forget such things. Well, I do tend towards avarice of all the cardinal sins.

Right now I'm favoring frugality over other options, but after that I'd say comfort.

How do you like your eggs?

I rarely eat them, but when I do, I prefer them scrambled.

How late do you usually stay up?

@V/VV: Wow. I'm not the only one who tends to stay up until 2 or 3, it seems.

I've developed some kind of insomnia or something recently, so it's been between 2 and 4 AM, which I really shouldn't fo, as this week is going to be rather hectic.
Wow, ninja'd with nearly the same answer. Weekdays, about 6:30, and weekends are between 9 and noon.

What would your perfect concert be?

I really have no idea...
If it was my community youth band performing, I'd bring back a lot of our old players and we'd play two hours of our greatest hits.
Let me see...
Lord of the Rings Symphony, Music For a Darkened Theatre (we played that one in the dark once), The Lion King, First Suite in E Flat...
It would be seriously awesome.


Would you pay a two dollar admission fee to get in?

@V Unfortunately, we don't play that music anymore, as many of the good players who sustained our ensemble left as they grew older.

For a community youth band playing that kind of awesome stuff, I would gladly pay the $2 and also make a donation. It sounds great.


What biome resonates with your heart the most?

I love all of nature: the verdant beauty of the forest, the majesty of the mountains, but the one biome that I admire most is the mysterious awe of the ocean.

Were you expecting that response?

Not particularly, though I can see things that should have made me expect it. Then again I read it before the question.

How would you make an adventure on a more lawful Elysium?

A Lawful Paradise? Chase scene. Like the Heroes are trying to find someone hiding out and they go through several impressive areas that speak to the plane as a whole. They later have to chase the person they were trying to find back through those areas. I'd also introduce concepts of potential shortcuts and the like early on to see if my players use them later.

What should I do today?
