For your main meal do you prefer sweet and sour, hot and spicy, spicy and sweet, bitter, salty, bland or other?
Hot and spicy, spicy and hot, with much hotness and spiciness. If I’m not left crawling around on the floor gasping for breath, it wasn’t hot enough.

Where do you hide junk when people come over?
In my bedroom. Just chuck it all on the chair. The last time I did that was months ago and it’s still there, so it makes me wonder if I really needed to keep any of it in the first place.

What daily habit would you like to introduce to your life?
Like many others I’ve read, some exercise. I just need to get up a bit earlier and have a walk around the village before getting ready for work.

If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do? 
Perform in the circus? Yeeks! What a thought. I suppose being the Ring Master would be the least of all the evils. And not nearly so dangerous as most of the other acts.

What goal are you working on now? Your goal can be something fun or extremely serious. Have fun with this question.
Currently I’m trying to get hold of a Trampler heart so that I can trade it for a Shadow War Bow. This will allow me to shoot corruption arrows at people! Here is a picture.

As you can see, it’s likely to kill me quite a lot. I’ve spotted packs of them but I need to find one on its own.

What is one thing you’re glad you tried but would never do again?
I can’t think of anything. Everything I’ve done has made me who I am. For better 🙂 or worse 😦

Did you choose your profession or did it choose you?
I chose to apply and they chose to hire me 🙂 It’s something I always wanted to do.

Have you ever gotten lost?
Yes, despite careful planning! Here are the hundreds of miles I once drove while trying to find the local tip. The “trails” are detailed here.

What is something that people are obsessed with but you just don’t get the point of?
Well, there are things I’m really into and I can’t understand how other people don’t get the point. So I try not to judge. Everybody’s different and everyone likes different things.

After all, who wouldn’t want to spend 6 hours of a Sunday afternoon disembowelling Orcs and such?

What quirky things do people do where you are from?
I haven’t really noticed anyone doing anything quirky. Probably because I do the same quirky things so they seem normal 🙂 Fresh eyes would be required.

What are some things you wish you could unlearn? 
I can’t really think of anything. If I took the trouble to learn them in the first place there must have been a reason. And it’s not like my brain is full and I need to make room…

Who is someone that you miss having in your life?
Hmm. People come and people go. It would be nice to spend some more time with my Gran, who passed away 17 years ago or so. She was such a kind person.

Did you notice how I pretty much didn’t actually answer any of the questions? Does that count as a “quirky thing?”

What do you do when you’re not working? If you are retired, what do you that is not part of your regular daytime routine?
I do a lot of sleeping when I’m not working 🙂 I also read, watch the Netflix and play games on my PlayStation. Sometimes I go to the cinema too.

What would you do if you won the lottery?
Obviously I “wouldn’t let it change me”. I’d remain easy-going and a friend to all people and small furry animals, and would still lead a quiet, unassuming life.

Then I would have my driver take me down the high street in my gold-plated open-top Rolls Royce so I can throw bags of money behind me and watch all the poor persons scrabble around in the dirt for it bwahahaha.

What makes you laugh the most?
Watching poor persons scrabble around in the dirt for the money I’ve just chucked out the back of my gold-plated open-top Rolls Royce bwahahaha.

And funny TV programmes.

What is your biggest pet peeve with modern technology?
Battery life annoys me. The list of stuff I have to recharge is practically endless. Toothbrush, shaver, phone, laptop, Kindle, PlayStation controllers, watch… yikes!

What’s your strongest sense?
My sense of danger. Any perceived threat and I’m gone. Like spiders and such. Nasty creepy things.

Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey)
The last time this question came up I invented a new one and called him Asshole.

So the original name of the Seven Dwarfs were Blick, Flick, Glick etc etc (1912 Broadway play). Eventually Disney came along and gave them the more well-known names, but in the original 1812 Grimm brothers’ story, they had no names at all!

That’s right, Wilhelm and Jacob didn’t bother naming the little guys. So as for our question, I’m going to be “Unnamed Dwarf Number Three”.

If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what age would that be?
Thirty-five. No, twenty. Or forty-six. No, wait, twelve. A hundred and two. I don’t know. Three.

List of Jobs You Think You Might Enjoy: Even if you aren’t thinking about a career change, it can be fun to think of other jobs you might enjoy. [Remember: This is SYW where even your dreams can become reality.]
Well, if it could be anything at all…

• Fighter pilot (but just for the zooming around, not for shooting anyone down)
• International Man of Mystery
• Jedi Knight (but not one of the ones who was shot in the back by the treacherous Clone Army)
• Space Explorer
• President Supreme of the Galactic Empire of Draliman
