getting to know me

I stole this idea from khaosworks. Go ahead; ask me anything. I'll post truthful answers, but not the questions. I will attempt to make the answers entertaining (or at least interesting) for the people who didn't get to see the questions. :-)

[Poll #62883]

some answers

kitchenwitch: Mmm, salad is good. It's a little cool in the office today. I wish Bush weren't such a warmonger. One-on-one talmud study is enlightening. Presumably assorted fluids and then my skull.

goljerp: Probably writing a program to let me know when the CS Coke machine was being filled. You see, when the CMU CS Coke machine registered "empty", there were really two cold bottles in the bottom of each slot. The machine was already wired -- you could query its status from anywhere on the network -- so all that was missing was a way to sound an alarm when cold Coke was about to become available. (This was way before webcams, of course.)

chaiya: Start here.

ralphmelton: Why, to be the greatest sorceror in the world, of course. :-) Ok, more seriously, I see lots of adventures doing new and different stuff (life is full of learning experiences; one hopes they aren't too painful or expensive), growing skills/powers, and eventually being one of the background powers (with some appropriate scoping) while she settles down -- not very close to the family -- with friends, students, groupies, and a nice library. :-) (As an aside, if she was ever going to multi-class, which is unlikely, she would strongly consider paladin. I mention this to provide possible insight into personality, not to suggest an actual plot development.)

more answers

arib: As you've probably noticed, your question duplicated someone else's. If you want to ask something else and LJ won't let you do the poll again, feel free to just send email.

browngirl: He grew up in an unobservant home and he's an athiest, so he can't relate to religion in the same way I do. I think he is unhappy when my religion inconveniences him, and this is complicated by him (probably) thinking that all of this is rather goofy. And it was impossible to know up front where all the sources of strife would be.

rani23: That depends on whether chucking wood is his job, in which case we have to look at typical production rates over longer times (is it a 40-hour week?), or whether chucking wood is something he just plain enjoys and does intermittantly, in which case we have to look at typical quantity at one sitting and whether chucking that much wood all at once increases or decreases the woodchuck's satisfaction. Does one gorge, and if so, was that a bad idea?

tangerinpenguin: Tough one. I guess it would have to be my lack of diplomatic skills, particularly in dealing with Stupid Officer Tricks, though my early tendency to perform non-period music at events is a contender.

nrivkis: Actually, I knew you from at least one SCA mailing list, though as far as I know we have never met in person.
