OK, I have a decent-sized friends list now.. anything y'all would like to know about me?

Fire away, I promise that all questions will be answered.

so what's it like to be an author for a gaming system? :)

Incredibily cool. Seeing my name on a Traveller book was one of the high points of my life. I came to writing by way of cancer, it was one of the things I swore I'd do if I lived.

Writing is a lot of frustating work, but the pay off is more than worth the effort.

What did ostrich eggs ever do to *you*?

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Even after all these years, I can't talk about it. I'm getting help, but I still don't trust the eggs in the refrigerator. The Egg Board is watching me.

I wish I had something to ask...I'm kind of bad at this sort of question...good at them in the course of conversation, though.

I'd ask "How is a raven like a writing desk?" except that I've never been able to figure it out.

Maybe I'll have something good after I fall down in bed for a while.:)

It's nothing like a writing desk at all.

What do you wish someone would ask you?

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

You know, there's nothing that really comes to mind here. I'm a generally private little bastard, so I'm always rather guarded about my life and feelings. I thought this would be an interesting way to see what I've been hiding that other people might be curious about.

OK, that was serious.. the snarky answer is "Doug, would you like to come and have sex in my steam bath and listen to Metallica while we wait for the pizza to arrive?" That would be easy to answer

Okey dokey, you asked for it....

Are you still doing Viagra? (No, not for me, silly, for Kirsten!)

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

LOL! No, we're not.. turns out the problem was in the plumbing, but the side effects of my dilantin dosage. I had my sex drive turned off for a couple of years, and we kept thinking it was something else.

As a side note, I think we may have owned the only bottle of Viagra that ever went out of date with pills still in it.

Oh Great Guru and Master of Knowledge!

I have but one simple question to ask of someone of your greatness and vast amount of knowledge.

"What makes women 'tick', as in, have you ever figured them out?"

The Penguin has considered your question.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

LOL!!

You have to be kidding! Gee, ask me something easy, like to explain 2nd Edition C&S' magic system!

Women run the universe, of this I am sure. They just let us think we are in charge.

Thank you, oh Wise One
