What is your favorite shop in the world?
I don't have a favourite shop, I don't think.

What room of your home do you spend the most time in?
My bedroom, especially now it has Yamsyn in it. (Although presumably most people who don't spend all day in one different room spend most of their time in the bedroom, given there's normally eight hours or so of sleeping to be done there.)

Who is the person you miss most right now?
I miss my God. I haven't seen Him very clearly lately.

When and where have you felt most comfortable being nude?
In the bathroom, 'cos of the door lock. Otherwise I tend to be paranoid that parents are going to wander in and be embarrassed at me. I've been working on not being paranoid in my bedroom, but it isn't working very well still.

What is your most disappointing sexual experience?
I don't think I've had anything that would particularly count as a sexual experience, let alone more than one so that there would be some kind of comparison.

What was the most useful course you ever took in school?
Useful? At school? I don't consider any of my courses to be particularly useful in and of themselves. Most of the useful factoids I've learnt, I've learnt outside of school. Maybe maths, as that's the one that's most likely going to help me earn money in the future, which is fairly useful I guess.

What is the most valuable thing you own?
Metaphysics aside, the most personally valuable thing is either Yamsyn or Melis; I'd say Melis except she doesn't have a 'net connection.

What would you most like to be remembered for after you die?
*Most* like to? Bringing half a ton of people to God, of course. Other than that, ending war/poverty/suffering would be nice.

What is the cruelest thing a person has ever said to you?
I don't know. Mostly I get more upset by the tone of voice / intention / sheer annoyingness or how much respect I have for that person's opinions / how much I care about their opinion of me more than the content, anyway.

What would be the best way to get rid of a dead body?
To not have one in the first place. Other than that, vapourizing it with a phaser would be pretty effective. If you had access to some kind of ultrahot furnace that would reduce it to minute particles that's good too. More realistically, washing it thoroughly in some kind of solvent and moving it, with full protective gear or with it sealed in something that also bears no trace of you, somewhere belonging to someone else sounds a good plan to me, although it'd be hard to do without attracting suspicion. Then again, presuming you're not the cause of the dead body and you're pretty sure that it's very obvious indeed that you're not, calling the police and having them deal with it is probably the best way to go.

What is the poorest you've ever been?
Probably when I was a baby (well, technically that is when I was poorest because I didn't have any money). My parents have got steadily richer since then, and so have I.

Where would you most hate to be pierced?
I never intend to put any holes in myself anywhere where holes do not naturally occur, especially not simply for the sake of fashion/adornment. If we're being excessively pedantic, I'd say that through both of my eyes would probably be absolutely the worst place on the surface to be pierced, and possibly the worst place anywhere except perhaps brain parts (because in some ways I think being blind, or especially being brain damaged, would be more difficult / worse for me than being dead, although maybe the first wouldn't be so bad for other people).

Who is the person you'd most like to take revenge on?
I don't like revenge. Sometimes I take it in petty ways for petty things, but mostly in the context of playfighting or just someone being really annoying and I want them to Stop Now.

What's the thing you know the most about?
I know enough about a lot of things to know that I don't know much about anything. I do appear to know a fair amount about prevarication to avoid a question, though.

What's the best thing you've ever tasted?
I prefer different tastes in different moods. Nothing majorly stands out, although there are a couple of chocolates I was in exactly the right mood for that spring to mind a little.

What was the best toy you ever owned?
'Toy'? Lego, I guess; most of the best things that could be classified as toys I've been using in a way I don't define as playing, but more as learning or communicating or creating.

What's the shortest time between orgasms that you've ever experienced?
Presumably an infinite amount of time, as I don't believe I've ever actually had an orgasm.

What age do you want to live to?
That depends entirely on how my health holds up. I'd rather die before I became really ill and had to be looked after by people all the time, especially if I couldn't think properly as well.

What is the least amount of money you'd have to make to consider yourself rich?
That depends what mood I'm in. If I'm feeling self-recriminatory I consider myself very rich indeed; if I'm not, I think I'd say 'enough money that I can live comfortably, i.e. at the standard I am now, without having to earn any more money and with being able to give some away to charity too, and buy stuff for friends etc.'.

What would you find hardest about being in prison?
The boredom. I'd probably end up picking fights just to *do* something, to *feel* something, and getting killed because I'm not very tough.

Whose thoughts would you most like to read?
I wouldn't like to read anyone's thoughts because I wouldn't know what to do about them.

What have you lost that you'd most like to retrieve?
Happiness. I get it now and again but I don't have it at the moment, and I'd rather like it back.

What is the most disgusting thing you've ever had to do?
I don't think I've ever been forced to do anything that could be really counted as 'disgusting'. I've chosen to do a few things that people (and myself, in some cases) would probably term 'disgusting', but that's not the question.

What was the most romantic evening you ever had?
No comment.

What tests your faith in a higher power the most?
Proof of my capacity for self-delusion.

What is the worst word anyone ever used to describe you?
Again, I don't tend to take offence due to particular words, more the manner and importance of the sayer.

What are you most greedy for?
Sugar. (I don't tend to be greedy, but I do eat too much sugar.)

What is the most extreme thing you would do to your own appearance to make yourself better looking?
I don't think that doing extreme things to my appearence would make me better looking. I don't think I need to be made better looking; I think I'm quite acceptably pretty, and that beauty is so subjective that making myself look better to one person would only make me look worse to another.

What physical characteristic could you least tolerate in a mate?
Least tolerate? Uhm... probably some really icky skin condition that made them really scratchy and itchy and generally not nice to touch all over.

What one part of your body comes closest to your ideal?
As I said, I'm quite acceptably pretty. I am my ideal me, so far as I have an ideal me, appearence-wise at least.

What invention has had the biggest impact on your life?
I suspect 'electricity, or at least the harnessing thereof' is probably the answer to this, for 'widest' as well as 'biggest', because most of the other obvious impactful things (nice electric trains, computers, electric light) are electrical.

What is the least amount of money you would accept to never have sex again?
Whether I'll ever actually have sex is doubtful anyway. I'm not sure I'd accept money for it though, because then what would happen if I *did* fall in love with someone?

What was the hardest secret you've ever had to keep?
Presumably the ones I've failed to.
