Oh wow. I never knew that your "Meet" thread was this late... weren't you an AK a long time ago? Yeah ... it's late ... nothing like waiting 4 months to make a formal entrance XD Anyways, congratulations on becoming on AK. This is actually the first "Meet" thread I've replied to, but anyhow... Wow! Thanks! I'm honored! *reads answers* Ah, I see that your old computer you complained about is replaced. Congrats on that, too. Yeah, that was long overdue. It's still an old computer, but newer than my old one, and far better. I'm fairly good with numbers, but I hate math... kind of strange. I blame schools for this. Since when did Maegwyn become an otter maiden? o_0 I never really caught up on Nautican news, really. I think it was during one of those parties when I suddenly realized that Maegwyn was, in fact, an otter! How did you get to be a DragonFable AK? I mean, was it already decided, or did you choose to be an AK here? Or is the thread just here? I actually chose to add helping out here to my duties. There were already some awesome AKs here, and the forums were going crazy over the Dragons hatching, and I offered to help. Hmm... what would be your favorite quote? Okay, I'm terrible at "favorite," but here's a good one: "I do not think it is putting the case too strongly to say that much of the poverty of our society's intellectual life is directly due to the sort of books children are encouraged to read. Practical books with facts in them may be necessary, but they are not everything. They do not serve the imagination in the same way that high invention does when it allows the mind to investigate every possibility, to free itself from the ordinary, to enter a world where paradox reigns and nothing is what it seems to be; properly engaged, the intelligent child begins to question all presuppositions, and thinks on his own. In fact, the moment he says, wouldn't it be interesting if…? he is on his way and his own imagination has begun to work at a level considerably more interesting than the usual speculation on what it will be like to own a car and make money. As it is, the absence of imagination is cruelly noticeable at every level of the American society, and though a reading of E. Nesbit is hardly going to change the pattern of a nation, there is some evidence that the child who reads her will never be quite the same again, and that is probably a good thing." -- Gore Vidal, on E. Nesbit, 1964 Hmm... so, is life hectic with being an AK, thinking of going back to school, having a job... all that? I'm not an adult yet, as you may have noticed. :P It was more hectic in the past few months, really, than it is right now. I'm taking some time to not think about things, which rather ironically results in thinking about them on a much deeper level than when you're actively worrying about stuff. Which you may not have had to notice yet XD (I may be an adult, but I'm not very good at the 'being grown up' part) Hmm... running out of ideas. Are you pleased with the new Harry Potter book? Or not? Quite pleased! Pleasantly surprised. Aside from a few minor criticisms, that is. It was truly better than I had expected. Alright, I ran out. Congratulations. I thought you would become an AK, anyways, after Pie. Oh, and Lkeas. Have a nice day. Or rather, afternoon, or night, whichever is currently present at the time. Thanks! It's afternoon just now. Actually, I'm back. And there's more questions. Are you going to participate in the Zardian? I don't have any plans to do so at the moment, but if I get to feeling really creative, I might apply. Do you play any instruments? Trumpet. Sometimes. Favorite authors? E. Nesbit, as you might have guessed. Diana Wynne Jones. Charles de Lint. Tolkien. Haruki Murakami. Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Tad Williams, Gene Wolfe ... just a few off the top of my head. I have TONS of favorites! Microsoft or Apple? :P Eh, I've never had the opportunity to play with the Apple stuff, so I have no basis for comparison there. How did you start playing AQ/DF? Well, I have this friend, who has a son who is also my friend. (I hate calling him "my friend's son" because that just seems like it's disrespectful, but it also sounds weird to say that I have a 10-year-old friend without explanation.) I used to let him play some of my Diablo and D2X characters, and when he started to be allowed on the computer at home (he was 8 or 9) he started showing me stuff you could play online. First it was RS, which I didn't really like (and ran horribly on that old computer), and then ... he found AQ. And I was hooked. DF still hasn't hooked me quite the same way. Now he's more into DF and I'm more into AQ, but we sometimes go on battlenet and play D2X. Okies, that's it. I hope that's a baker's dozen. I hope. Or less. I lost count! I got really into the answers. Ah, I remember the question I wanted to ask. Pwetty pwease with sugaw on top can you answer this? Are you a grammar and spelling freak? If so, we're alike. :P I worked as a proofreader for a little while. So, yes!
