1) What instrument would you like to learn to play and from where is this answer inspired from?
Tough one. I think some kind of rustic pipe thing. like flute(the ones that look like recorders a little) or similar. I think they are fun, simplistic and are good for musings and bardic circles.

2) Variable hair length or variable hair color (changing without effort automagically)?
Definitely length. Color doesn't scare me. Even in the worst situation the color can usually be professionally stripped out and something reasonable can usually be achieved. But once its short there's not much to be done but wait.

3) Which of your five senses would you choose to hone and why?
Hearing. I really like the idea of being able to pick apart a noisy street and find the intelligible strains amid the chatter.

4) What is your favorite fiction novel or series?
'Mists of Avalon'. Its one of those books that I pull out once a year and relive.

5) What culture or time period development would you like to have observed if given an invisible, undetected, can't touch, can't affect, only look ability? (e.g. rise and fall of Julius Caesar, rise and fall of the Aztecs, life of Benjamin Franklin, inspirations for Leonardo DaVinci)
Pre-christian Ireland or Gaul in the 4th century. Being a culture that only had a oral tradition of recording history there are few records of the actual culture not tainted by Christian bias.

1. Which board games and role-playing games do you like to play?
Currently -- EQ2
In the past I have really like Amber and GURPS as RPG systems. I also a wide variety of board and card games. Favorites include, Munchkins and all its expansions, Cosmic Encounter and almost anything using the 'iceberg pyramid things that jazzfish carts around.

2. Which is better: Goth rock or goth metal?
Goth Rock. This is in general though. I tend to not pay alot of attention to musical classifications. And as long as the aren't at the 'speed metal' end of the spectrum I like a lot of metal. (ex.Blind Guardian=good, Tristania=eww) (As a note, I have discovered the 2 sides of Nightwish, noone mentioned that they were in truth a 'hair band'. I still like their more mellow stuff but I can live without most of the rest. And can happily go the rest of my life with out seeing another video. /shudder)

3. German food: To be eaten or avoided?
Avoided. I have had good rabbit and lamb at a German restaurant. The more esoteric stuff has been less good.

4. What are your top 5 alcoholic beverages?
Parrot's Bay
stout
red wine
screwdrivers
Radiant Coffee (altanthorunn will have to tell you what's in it, I can never remember but, it is very tasty.)

5. Cats or Dogs?
Cats

German Food

We'll have to fix this impression.

Aside from the wonderful meats, there's the desserts...

lol I am beginning to think that you can usually change my view on most food. (An exception may be pork but, that's a complex problem for me going beyond the culinary.)

We went to Germany last summer and I found that even as a pseudo-vegetarian (I ate a LOT of fish) I ate very very well. I had been a little nervous, because the Germans have the "meat and potatoes" reputation and because Alex's German-born mother can never figure out what to feed me, but evidently the German relatives did not find this as challenging. I definitely gained some weight in Germany (and then lost it in England, where the exchange rate was VERY unfavorable and we ate a lot of baguettes and cheese).

After rambling on about that, I should add that my point was that German food may someday pleasantly surprise you! :)
