You meet with yourself. What do
Come up with a scam.
You suddenly get an opportunity to build a summer house in Gensokyo, anywhere you like. Where do you put it?
I would put it in human town. That way it has the smallest chance of becoming a faerie clubhouse, oni gambling den, haunted, or so on while I'm not there. As well, I stand the smallest chance of being youkai'd in the middle of the night, and have the largest chance of a problem solver saving my bacon if it does happen. Not mention at least a couple of the cooler youkai (Keine, Ran) come to town anyways, so I can meet and buddy up with them in good time.
Preferred sword type?
I like sabres. Longer, lighter blades in general.

I largely regard him as a traitor to the left. He has repeatedly failed to take a stance on leftist causes, which would do a lot to rally his own goddamn party to actually try to represent those ideals in Congress and keep people convinced that such things are actually possible. Remember back when he had his team drafting up actions he could take immediately upon taking office? Remember how many of them he actually did? While I never really expected a left-wing revolution or a New New Deal, being well aware of how the right wing machine works, I was kind of hoping he would at least make the effort to advocate it loudly and keep the flame alive. Instead he really doesn't go up to bat at all and pretty much enervates the base by demonstrating he doesn't give enough of a shit to do what he was elected to do. Then he continues to ape Republican ideals, like a the goddamn spending freeze on everything but military (can't cut out the far the hugest sinkhole!) like McCain proposed in...was it September of '08? August? Onna those months. This all said, I'll probably still hold my nose and vote for him in November of '12 just because he'll almost certainly be technically preferable to whatever combination of Gingrich/Palin/Arpaio the right wing comes up with to loudly blame the debt they created onto the Democrats and gleefully cheer along corporatism.
Muscle, Mysticality, or Moxie?
Muscle ascensions used to be the funnest, til the Nemesis Quest was finished and the seal clubbers got a goddamn nightmare. Nowadays I like-a the Saucerors. But in reality? Moxie all the way.
If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be?
There's much too many places to visit that I could narrow it down. I suppose I'd like to see Angkor Wat, but not with a tour group, just one of the resident monks to show me around. And he
speaks good Englitch. Preferably one full of little stories about foibles after daily life there, and history of such. That'd be pretty sweet.
What's the story with you going to the hospital? Did everything turn out alright? I was only around for part of it. :ohdear:
So back in spring of '06, I started to get these horrible pains in my torso. I go to the ER on monday night, they give me a once-over, don't find anything and suggest maybe I had some reflex and give me some prilosec. Two days later, it happens again. This time, they actually do a more intensive scan rather than suggesting I'm a liar/padding the bill, and they find out my gall bladder was working at about 30% efficiency. They discover this at about 10:30. About noon, they have me in surgery. I get a 25000 or so bill. County services looks at it, and pretty much gives me no shit about nullifying the surgery costs at all, immediately agreeing there's no way I could possibly afford it. This leaves me with about 2000 dollars or so of doctor costs I still couldn't afford. So...I just signed my car over to my mom, and waited for the knee-breakers to show up. So far they haven't.
Would you mind selling RP'ing to those of us who have been anything BUT sold on the idea?
I probably can't. If the idea of creating your own character, and running them through a dynamic world and a dynamic story where you have a high degree of freedom doesn't appeal to you, then I can't really think of anything to say that would change your mind. The only thing I could do after that is obligate you to try it, and wow your pants off with the process.
Do you like stand-up comedy? If so, anyone in particular?
I used to, back in the time before I had internet and still watched TV. George Carlin was a favorite. I've got no idea who's out there now, but between the things I hear about the likes of Carlos Mencia, Dennis Leary, and other comedians whose names reach my ear when paying what scant attention I do (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged guy likes his stand up comedians, so I've encountered some things while looking into references), I'm largely not impressed.
Potentially invasive: What do you typically carry around every day? Your wallet, a knapsack, a backpack, a water bottle, some snacks, things of that nature?
Extension: What's in your bindle?
Depends. Typically I'll have my driver's license, and a fuel cardif I have one (my grans get me those for Christmas) or fuel money if I need it. If I'm out to purchase something, I'll have the cash I think I'll need; these are uncommon trips. If I'm going to visit someone, I bring the bindle. It contains pretty much all of my DS games (friends like to borrow them, and I like to borrow their stuff), a change of clothes in case I decide to stay over (which I often do), some common pain relieves, sudafeds, and antacids because they tend to be necessary sooner or later, and my DS (or GBA SP if I have a need of that). If I intend to stay out for a day or so, I'll often bring a two gallon travel jug of water with me; most of the places I visit have awful tap water.
When did you pick up your habit of playing in the rain?
Rain looks neat. Umbrellas are fun. I've probably believed this most of my life. That said, I've also scaled back on that; I've explored most of the areas around me pretty thoroughly, which makes roving around at random less fun.
Do you believe every universe that could exist, does exist? (Whether it be something as simple as going left when you went right to something as out there as everyone living on the moon instead.)
God I hope not. If every moral decision I made had the bad result happen elsewhere anyways, that would be an exceedingly terrible place to live. You might as well not try, because it wouldn't make a difference anyways in the grand scheme of things.
What kind of universe would you like to live in?
I'll be boring and say one without poverty, war, or general systematic suffering. I like not having to be angry at my fellow man for being selfish, callous shitholes.
What's your primary motivation in life?
I try to be less unpleasant and more thoughtful than the "average" person, figuring if I can at least do that I can justify the various debts racked up as a consequence of existing vs not existing at all.
