1. Can I cook: Yes, but only simple recipes!
2. Desired talent: The talent of being socially charming!
3. Favored veggie: Carrots. Easy to cook, nice crunch and flavor.
4. Last book read: The Fallen. The story of two Voyagers following a map to the end of the world.
5. Last book enjoyed: The third book of the Alchemist's Apprentice by Dave Duncan.
6. Worst habit: Not getting things done!
7. Outlook: Ossimistic. Definitely.
8. Worst thing: Dad dying, it has put Mom into a real tailspin that she isn't recovering from and complicates my life as she lives with me.
9. Weird fact: Meow!
10. Change one thing: I have to admit looking like a cat would be fun, but if we're in the realm of 'humanly possible' then I'd want to be a bit handsomer. With interesting eyes!
11. Arrested: no
12. Killed: no
13. Favorite thing: playing games! Let's face it. If it weren't World of Warcraft, it'd be some random Flash game or text adventure or new AAA computer game. In fact I do those anyway!
14. Swearing: Not so much, unless the situation seems to call for it. People seem generally shocked when I do, which demonstrates that sparing use makes it more effective.
15. Biggest pet peeve: people being jerks.

It began well, for a story; it did not end well, unfortunately.

I found the Alchemist's Apprentice series much more interesting for the setting (Italy in the Renaissance period) and characters (an apprentice to Nostradamus, a famous prophet) and the mystery that is at the heart of each book, and which is unraveled by the aforementioned apprentice. I've always been fond of clever characters!

To 'Meow' would be unexceptionable for one of the Sleethkins of this world (who are not Primes except in their own minds), but is a little surprising for a Prime, as it were.
