Hey, kids, it's FIVE QUESTIONS from

Click the words Five Questions for the rest of 'em. I'm still open for more questions to answer. Just leave 'em in the comments section. I have no sense of shame or embarassment, so ask anything. I reserve the right to not talk about my balls.
---------
1. If you could be alive at any point in time (so far), when would you want to live?
Man, I always seem to revert to Hong Kong in the 1970's / 1980's...so I'll take a different route this time.
How about China, 496 C.E., where the Shaolin Temple was built. Maybe they'd have taught me if I got there young...
2. Assuming relatively perfect health, how long would you want to live?
People are always weirded out when I say forever. Friends and especially family don't like hearing it. Yes, my heart would be broken a million times over as people died and I lost track of others...but...
Dunno. It's in my blood to want it, I guess.
3. What made you first fall in love with Sarah?
It's hard to nail down a single thing, but I can tell you what I first thought when I first talked with her. Our mutual friend Clarissa had wanted me to meet her neighbors in the dorms, Sara and Jennifer. We met up in the dining hall and Clarissa was in an inexplicably horrible mood, so Sara and Jennifer and I only talked a bit, but I went to their room later on and we talked for ages.
When I first saw her at that table, though? "Hey, it's the cute girl with the hats who's always smiling!" I was glad I got to meet her.
I think that the things that (ALLITERATION!) really drew me to her were her Bohemian artistnessosity, her smart brains, her sense of humor, her abject hotness--you know, all the things you look for in a Gorecki. And she had kisses sweeter than wine.
And I can't think of The Time I Realized I Was In Love. I wonder if there was actually a single moment or not...
4. Of all the characters you have ever created (for fiction, gaming, etc), who is your absolute favorite?
Can I have a three-way tie? How about...umm...
Well, it's hard choose between the first couple, which were LARP characters.
Arthur Drake, Jr., was my first character, a gun-toting sociopath who desperately wanted people to like him so he could screw things up and have them hate him again. It was an interesting character to develop over the...what, three years I played him? He was a ridiculously over-the-top version of me that actually took on a twist of his own after only a few weeks. His tabletop "father" was the first character I ever made for gaming, for Call of Cthulhu back in high school...such fun...
Raimond H. Dulac was the opposite, cold and calculating and emotionless and humorless, which made him a delightful challenge to portray, as I had to fight off letting any bit of the real benjamin poke through at any moment, since the character and I were polar opposites. In theory he's still alive in OWbN. I'd love one more chance to play him...
Third? Sir Reginald. Yeah, I know he's not your favorite, but I really like him, especially knowing some things that I know about him in my head. I still don't know his early life, though. It's weird, I think I know the story of his death better than his youth.
5. How often do you have days when you are content, happy, and proud of being who you are; days without wishing you were at all different, where you're glad your life is exactly as it is and exactly as it has been?
Those days exist?
6. How come only 5?
You'll have to speak up, I'm a trifle deaf in this ear.
