Are you double-jointed anywhere, to any extent? If so, what? No. And gag me with a spoon when I see anyone display their double-jointed-ness.


Toilet paper - over or under? Over.


What is your most dreaded consequence of getting older? (Yes, I'm projecting, fine.) Losing my faculties and becoming a burden. Bummer


Have you excelled at any sport? If so, which one(s)? Yes. Martial arts and shooting.

And... in previous surveys, you've been asked about favorite SK stories and what character you identify with. But....
What is your favorite character, good or bad, in the SK books you've read? And why? Richard "Dinky" Earnshaw in Everything's Eventual. Why? I guess because, I came to understand any great power can be perverted and sometimes you need to make a choice. And no matter what choices you make, you will fail.

Peace.

 

[Neesy]

As Adam Savage might say, "I reject your reality and substitute my own."
