Before filling this in, I must say that there are some questions here that I would not be able to answer even if given half an hour of discussion time. So I will try to summarise my viewpoint on those matters, but ultimately, I always keep discussing about my opinion and I will always make exceptions from it.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BOARD MEMBER?
Since October last year, lurking since August or September
WHAT'S YOUR REAL FIRST NAME?
Sarah
GOT ANY ANIMALS?
Yes, a really cute grey rabbit
APARTMENT, HOUSE, HIGHRISE OR TOWNHOUSE?
Apartment, very small but cosy
ARE YOU RELIGIOUS?
I wasn't raised religiously and I think it is preposterous to assume that you, as a tiny human (or even you AND your 1,000,000 fellow believers), could ever have any reason to *know* that your belief is the right one. However, this also means that for me, no religion is ever false, because you simply can't prove that. Two points though, the good side of religion to me is the enormous strength and consolation that it can give people, while the downside is the monstrosities that have been committed in its name, and the fact that it will always attract abusers of power. So I'm probably in favour of individual religious feeling, and against mass fanatisism. Personally, I'm keeping my options open, and I am SO curious what will happen after you die! (not that I'm planning to find out anytime soon...)
BALL POINTS OR FELT TIPS?
ball points, felt tips, pencils, crayons, calligraphy pens, quill and ink, paintbrush, anything that I can use for calligraphy is fine! Though I currently use a lot of gel pens and fineliners.
WHY DO YOU PLAY RPGS?
I like the often wonderful storylines, the imagination that is used to create whole worlds; the saem reason I like fairytales and mythological stories.
WHAT CAR/TRUCK DO YOU DRIVE?
I don't have a driver's license (yet?)
DO YOU CLICK ON ZIROC'S SPONSOR'S ADS?
Occasionally
WHAT KIND OF WORK DO YOU DO (OCCUPATION)?
I study English literature and work parttime in a clothes' store (H&M). Not sure if I will resume my studies anytime soon but I sure intend to.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF MUSIC (COUNTRY, ROCK, POP, BLUES, CLASSICAL, ETC.)?
Classical music, rock/pop, and everything that is released by a record company from Sweden called Cold Meat Industry.
HOW MANY BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
A sister, three and a half years younger than I
WHICH IS BETTER, MOUNTAINS OR BEACHES?
When the weather is bad, mountains/rocks/hills (preferably Scots or Irish)
When the weather is good, beaches (preferably Dutch or Greek)
IF YOU WENT ON "SURVIVOR," WHAT LUXURY ITEM WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
A laptop with internet connection...
CHIPS OR DORITOS?
Chips
WHAT WAS YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE (DREAMING KIND)?
I have occasional spells of violent and scary dreams, usually involving creatures or people trying to kill me or following me, though the worst kind of nightmare is when I dream that someone I love dies or abandons me.
WHAT DO YOUR FAMILY/FRIENDS THINK OF YOU SPENDING TIME ON THIS BOARD?
My boyfriend is glad that I have found a nice thing to do when I'm tired, although sometimes he is afraid that I will meet a nicer guy than he is (which is impossible!
)
WHAT'S YOUR TOP 3 FAVORITE GAMES OF THE PAST 2 YEARS?
I'm kind of a newbie but I love BG1 and 2 and PLanescape Torment. Planning on buyng IWD too.
DEATH PENALTY OR NOT?
Well, I agree with some of you that it simply is inexusable to take someone's life, no matter what they did. Also a good point is the risk of condemning an innocent (but I don't know if that's worse than innocent people who are put in jail for the rest of their lives). I think the situation is different in each country and therefore deserves a different approach everywhere, but genrally speaking, I think that murderers rapists etc should be punished very severely with a prison sentence. I also detest people who drink and drive, for all I care, they shoulc be given very severe punishments
ARE YOU PLANNING ON STICKING AROUND ON THIS BOARD?
Yes, of course, although I'm not sure how it will work out in practise, as it is very tiring and painful to type and keep up with everything. But of course I will keep on popping in every few days.
