5. Cats or dogs? Or both or neither? :D

1. I'm a full-time student, guest lecturer, and counselor. Quite frankly, I don't have enough hours in the day to impersonate Uma full-time.

2. Neither... I'm a vegetarian. Never had any meat at all, actually. Even when I was a baby, my parents would try and put ham or whatever in my mouth and I'd spit it out. To this day they don't understand it, and it constantly vexes me as well. I say, "I've never eaten meat" and people say, "Were your parents vegetarian, then?" Absolutely not. It was a constant source of friction for a good 16 years there.

Absolutely! That would be Final Fantasy Six, popularly known as Final Fantasy Three here in the states. Absolutely amazing, in my opinion... I think some of the finest games, quality relative to the level of technology, came from the SNES. After that, the system just got stagnant.

Toughie. My drink of choice varies depending on my mood, from a glass of red wine to whiskey on the rocks to amaretto sour to a drink I invented myself, called the "flavin." It consists of flavored vodka, ginger ale, and a Tropicana Twister juice beverage. The flavor of the vodka and Twister must go together. The word "flavin" is a Seinfeldian catch-all term used when someone doesn't know the proper name of something, and I named the drink in a pinch when I couldn't come up with a different name.

I can mix almost any drink expertly... I have kind of a nack for mixology. I suppose my keen senses of smell and taste give me a +2 natural bonus to Alchemy checks.

Well, I grew up with both cats and dogs. I like dogs, don't get me wrong... But I'm definately a cat person. We were never a one-cat family, either... My current cat is named Max. He's about seven years old and I refer to him as my familiar, due to the bond that we share. You always hear that cats only like people who feed them, but I'm away for months at a time and the moment I walk through the door he follows me like a shadow. Last time I was back he plopped down on my bed and started snoozing, despite the fact that he hadn't been in my room for months. I've also been described as a catlike person, due to the "fluid way" I move and the way I like to sit on high places with good views and watch people.

Clearly, robertthebard needs to be the next answerer.

1. What made you want to be a musician?

2. I know that your illness has caused quite a bit of lifestyle change. Of the things you've had to give up, which one do you miss the least, and why?

1. I don't think being a musician is a want to thing. I've always had music in my soul, for as long as I can remember. I'm not sure when, but at some time I developed the irresistable urge to get it out, and to that end, I picked up a cello at school. From there, it was love. I got my first guitar at 15, and taught myself to play. The rest is history...

2. You know, that's a difficult question, harder than I would have figured anyway. I lived my life the way I wanted to, so there weren't a lot of things that I did that I didn't like. If I had to pick something, I'd say it was some of the people I used to work with, particularly my step dad, who has turned out to be quite the loser through this ordeal, and one of the guys that I wound up working around a lot. I feel like I'm laming out on this one, but there's really nothing that I did that I didn't enjoy to some extent.

3. Do you vote? Why/why not?

4. What's your earliest memory?

3. Yes, because I feel that my opinion should be heard, even if my chosen candidates/issues don't come out on top. Plus, it gives me a right to complain...

4. Almost drowning in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Florida. I was maybe 3. I have vivid memories of the experience. The funny thing is, I'm not afraid of water. In fact, I swim like a fish, or I did when I could go swimming. One of those lifestyle changes...
