Ask a stupid question

[featherynscale]

In honor of Perceval le Galois, I present today's game. It is a simple game in concept, but might produce interesting results. Perceval stumbled upon the Grail Castle early in life, but, out of a fear of appearing ignorant, failed to ask several relevant questions of the Grail King. Perceval was cast out of the castle, and ended up spending most of the rest of his life looking for a second chance, and the Grail King and his lands remained wounded and in waste until the knight was able to return and ask.

So. Here's the deal. In this post, anonymous comments are accepted. If you have a stupid question that you've been avoiding asking, whether it's a question for me personally, or a general question, post it as an anonymous comment. I or someone else will attempt to answer it as best we can. If your question is directed to me, please indicate that. Otherwise, anybody can (and should) respond.

Any questions?

What do you get out of tabletop gaming?

3 off the top of my head

Who (or what or where) did you want to be when you grew up when you were a kid?

What was it that got you into interested in the occult? For some reason I always pictured you as having 'seen' something early on... but that's just a guess.

Be honest, you know who this is don't you?

I wanted to be an astronaut. Then, when that seemed unlikely, I wanted to be a pilot. Sadly, by the time that transition happened, I was old enough to grasp that you had to be in the military if you were going to fly anything cool, and to understand that I didn't really want to kill anybody. So then I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. Sadly, I'm a vast bum, so that didn't happen either. Could have, though. I got an offer from Embry-Riddle, but opted for something that seemed easier. Alas.

Also, I wish I had a better answer to the second one. I mean, yes, some weird stuff happened to me when I was a kid, but I was already interested in the occult before that. I think I was pretty much *born* interested in the occult. I was always fascinated by magicians and the idea that a secret world lay beyond this one. But then, maybe most kids do that, and I just never dropped it. Perhaps I was a magician in a past life, or perhaps seeing ghosts made it stick, or perhaps it just annoyed my parents enough to make it seem like something worth continuing. ;)

Also also, I had an idea, but it was confirmed when you sent me a revised and edited comment. :)
