lathanyYep, the five question sheep is back!
Tricky one this. I've lost half of pairs of earings which I'd really like back; but none of them were really special. I've also lost books I was fond of - but I usually just get another copy. I think I'm going to nominate a set of photos I took at university, which included a couple of a close friend (Anthony - who was also a roleplayer). I have other photos of him, but there were a couple in that set that were very "him" at that time that I'd really like to see again.
2. Pack your bags, as you're going on a holiday just for you. Money and time are no object, you can bring along whoever you like, so where do you go?
Another tricky one. I like old holiday haunts, in part because of the nostalgia value. These include Brockwood Hall in the Lake District and the Black Lion Hotel in Suffolk which I once based a book on. However, given anywhere, I'd go for something more exotic. I love mountains and I've always wanted to see Mount Everest (the whole "highest" thing). So, I guess, a holiday where the peak of that was visible. And some good food to eat whilst I'm there.
3. What's your favourite way of unwinding? What, if anything, gets you wound up?
My favourite way of unwinding is to go back to something I like. Re-read a favourite book (such as Curse of Chalion/Paladin of Souls - Bujold or King of Shadows - Cooper), re-watch a favourite TV show (I'm sure you can all guess) or re-play a favourite computer game (such as one of the Final Fantasys or Baldur's Gate II).
What gets me wound up? If I think something is unfair that doesn't have to be.
4. Fairies, angels or what other supernatural being?
Phoenix! One day I'll put one properly into a roleplaying campaign.
5. You get the opportunity to appear on any game show you desire. Which would it be, if any? Is it one which exists yet?
Umm... I'm not a big fan of the things. I guess The Adventure Game comes closest as I was a fan of that, although I wouldn't rate my own chances in it.
- Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile".
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

3. Which computer game do you see as the biggest landmark in the last ten(ish) years and why?
4. Mechs, comets or Father Christmas?
5. A man intercepts you leaving your flat and tells you that you need to be at the entrance to a museum in London at 5pm sharp the following evening. He departs without telling you any more. Do you follow his instructions?
