Before I forget...

"Haha, alrighty, here goes your questions...

1. You have worked so hard to get your degree, and have sacrificed much to see that goal done. How do you see yourself applying that degree to your future?

2. From one stargate fan to another, who is your favorite character and why? Does RP have any impact on this decision?

3. Having so many pets in your life, do you think you would ever like to try for a child? I know you have small relatives by pictures. What do you think the challenges are of each that many dont 'get'?

4. What is more important in a game (MUSH, MMORPG, etc)? The story or the challenge of playing your character?

5. What type of car??? Sporty or practical? Car or SUV?"

1. Applying the degree? I bet I could use it to start a fire? No? Well, honestly, the main reason for starting on the MBA was to awaken my brain and keep from stagnating. So that goal is already achieved. As for using what I've learned, I think it's beginning to permeate my every day life. You might have to ask me that question again, when I'm no longer living and breathing the classes. Then I might be able to answer coherently.

2. Daniel Jackson, because I have a crush on him. :) Other than that, Hermiod is funny. And no, RP does not have an impact on the decision, or at leat not yet.

3. Kids? Ack! Well, see, I think that kids are wayyy more responsibility than I can handle. I'm also thinking that we've really mucked up the planet, I don't hold hope that we can fix it, and I don't want to bring a child into this situation. It's just - for me, it's not the right thing to do. That, and little babies are SCARY! The challenges of pets vs children? Children present far more challenges than pets. And for the record, I only have 3 cats. the other pets belong to relatives or friends. Not me. Pets do have their own personalities and each is different, which makes them good company. But in the end, they're significantly simpler than children.

4. *blinks* Now there's a question. In some ways, it's a bit of both. I like the story, I always have. It's a key part to any character - the events that happen and how the character grows, learns and progresses. Or not, depending on the character. If I have to work too hard to play a character, they usually get discarded. It's good fun to tell the story that belongs to a character, honestly. I guess that means the story is the important thing, huh?

5. Practical. Car. 4 door. Good gas mileage. Honestly, I hate driving. Cars are good in that they get me from point a to point b, preferably with no muss, no fuss and no breaking down. :) I was thinking about perhaps a hybrid, though I don't know if they have enough storage space in a car. Perhaps a Honda Civic. Not sure, but then, I'm only going to really start looking next spring.

There - does that answer the questions sufficiently?
