Considering that he had to do it to me, I've decided to reply.

1.Grab the book nearest you, turn to page 18, and find line4

# "...in that area."
--From "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Science Fiction," by Cory Doctorow and Karl Schroeder

2.Stretch your left arm as far as you can.

# Done. Being over six feet grants one a formidible wingspan, but it means very little, truly.

3.What is the last thing you watched on T.V.?

# That question is too vague. I might glance at what others watch for a brief period, but I never really recall what's on. The last time I've watched anything on television was the video game I played (Vagrant Story, just today, which I beat with zealous pleasure).

4.Without looking, guess what time it is

# This question is open to so much abuse it's not even funny.

5.Now look at the time, what is the actual time?

# I don't know. Probably very late.

6.With the expectation of the computer, what can you hear?

# Scott Peeples
"Ghost of St. Helen's"
Arrangement of Donkey Kong Country II: Diddy's Kong Quest

7.When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

# About 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I felt like blowing steam, and headed outside into a reasonably warm outside (compared to regular Bay State weather, of course), and drew one of the sticks I keep around for swinging. My brother kids me and labelled me "Dances With Sticks" long ago, and it tends to help me think. I often contemplate life, but as I swung that sucker about, I imagined how my role playing game would be played. Awesome ideas crawl into my head during such physical activity, and I recommend in training in a martial art or at least moving around amidst fresh air whenever possible. I'm sure Mr. Kolleth would agree, considering his latest interest in amateur photography.

8.Before you started this survey, what did you look at?

# My own writing, scattered throughout a note pad, chat window with my friend Kinzo, and the reply to this ridiculous Tag survey.

9.What are you wearing?

# Black dress pants, dress socks, worn dress shoes, and a Dragon T-Shirt (I had a black sweater when I attended a special function last Friday, and had the T-shirt underneath. Nobody was the wiser. This T-shirt, acquired at a fair three years ago, is one of my favorites. Underneath the dragon facade, of course, hangs a worn little item called a Scapular, one stating its wearer will not suffer eternal fire if caught dead wearing it. I'm pretty sure that promise is valid, and as such I have an insurance policy, one less thing to worry over.

10.Did you dream last night?

# I do not recall what I dreamt of, such is the case. A whole chunk of winter went by with barely any sleep at all. I started taking medicine for that little nuisance and started having dreams, a few even lucid. Last night, however, seen no action of the sort.

11. When did you last laugh?

# I'm not sure, actually. Perhaps last Saturday?

12.What is on the walls of the room you are in?

# Mostly bare. Patched upon the door is an old comic I whipped up in an hour during studio time at the museum, illustrating my ambitions to improve my craft and drag my brother into a course to help him improve his skills (Not sure if they're working, considering his apathy and newfound addition to World of Warcraft).

13.See anything weird lately?

# Weird is a relative term. I found it weird that I'd suddenly convict myself into joining or concocting a role-play to kill some time, spark creative ideas and such, but hell, maybe I'm bored?

14.What do you think of this quiz?

# Good God, I'm not sure if it's a therapy or a waste of time...!

15.What is the last film you saw?

# Asphault Jungle, in my Film Noir class. It was actually quite good, and if you'd ask what my favorite character was, the Doctor was certainly the closest to my mentality, both in meticulousness and weaknesses.

16.If you become a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?

# Nothing. Well, stocks and bonds, investments, and plenty of plane tickets. Take my time anywhere, free to speak my mind anywhere, and I'll keep my find anywhere. Get the message?

17.Tell me something about you that I don't know

# If you watched Asphault Jungle, this would be simple. It's probably behind my fear of moving on my own, too. And it's something I'd rather not get involved with at this point in my life.

18.If you could change the one thing about the world, regardless of guilt and politics what would you do?

# One thing I'd change about the world is the seeming lack of magic, at least its legendary status. If you had an almost unlimited power at your fingertips, to alter the world through altering your own soul, that'd be awesome. And to be able to do that without seedy supernatural contracts would be even better; you could even take a more active part in repelling supernatural evils with that sort of power.

(You surprised I'd think of something so childish? It's not far detached from trying to end one of the fundamental conflicts, one of the truths of our existence, which everyone must face in order to be human. Even magic would have its own brand of drawbacks, and I almost revel in analyzing any system and, barring general entropy, pointing out some of its inherent problems.)

19.Do you like to dance?

# Even if I suck at the sort of dancing performed at clubs these days. What happened to hold the hand, then the waist, and take the lead? They said I was a good dancer 'cause I did that on a whim one dance very long ago. If I ever get the chance to routinely dance without having to look like a complete jack-ass (hence, doing the waltz or tango is worth my time). So, generally speaking, I love to dance. They call me "DANCES WITH STICKS!"

20.George Bush?

# I voted for him twice. It's important to live your life without regret, and in this case, nothing like that formed. A conservative guy speaks. Still, he spends like a bipolar shop-o-holic that won the lottery, so it's not like I have the occasional pet peeve like any president. Even the greats got criticism for trying damn hard to do the right thing. George Washington restored trade relations with Britain immediately after the war, and while he got plenty of flak from the people, Britain is one of our best allies today.

21.Imagine your first child is a girl, what would you name her?

# Naomi. That's the name of a hot but vain warrior queen, and if my baby face (and preference in women) is any indication, I expect this firebrand to kill some fuckin' satanists with her bare hands when she grows up.

22.Imagine your first child is a boy,what would you name him?

# Damian. Now, one of my friends calls his nephew this name because the kid's sort of a hellion. I think the kid adopted qualities from his regular name, Michael, and integrated some of the name Damian into him. But Damian is often overlooked and stereotyped as something villainous, when in fact Damian had been one of the first disciples to become a deacon in the Christian church.

23.Would you consider living abroad?

# Yeah, and never staying in one place, buddy. I'd learn Japanese solely to work closely with Squaresoft (dream career of becoming a master game designer, versed in all facets of the job).

24.What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?

# I'd like you to meet Aeris, a Cetra, Ashley Riot, the vagrant, and Ramza Beoulve. Oh, and that's Ashley... you know, that Xellous babe? ...What's that? Oh, those people? Well, the muses told those Square guys all about them, and even then, nobody thinks they really exist! Isn't that fuckin' pathetic or what? I create a race that manages to do some space-faring way before this phase of civilization began, and this is what I get? Ah, forget it, the ice cream is in the fridge. ...I'm in bit of a rush, so I have to take off; got to go watch Bahamut take a shit, you see. Don't believe anything Michael Moore tells you. Fuck, don't believe anything anybody up here tells you.

25.What's on your desk right now?

# Five emptied cans of soda, disinfecting spray (Clorox brand), a printer, monitor, noise mufflers, disks, compact discs, books, and other such things.

26.What's in your bookshelf right now?

# Oh...? I have a bookshelf? At the apartment, yes, but if I had an actual, true-form bookshelf right now, I'd be fuckin' happy as a pig in shit, let me clue you.

27. I taaaaaag...!!!!!!

Ah... ha ha! Sorry, no tagging from me. I'd tag Tenor, but Mr. Kolleth beat me to her.

P.S.
And no, I'd probably bump into Dan in heaven and say hello (we don't have to be introduced immediately, 'cause I got this mega backlist of relatives to check off, one-by-one, once I'm up there).
