cpip puts me to the question! For those of you who have forgotten how this meme works, I answer these five questions, and then anyone who would like me to ask them five comments to this entry. You put the answers in your LJ, and people put themselves up for questions. And thus it goes on and on and on...

1. What's your favorite movie in the horror genre?

Eeeek. That's a hard one. I love so many of them. Hmm. I think, when all is said and done, 'In the Mouth of Madness' remains my favorite horror movie. It really has everything I like...the surrealness, the mystery, occassional campy moments, random and gory violence. I like it good. A close runner up would be 'The Ring', in either version.

2. What animal do you like best?

Dogs. It's close between them and cats, but dogs ultimately win out for their utility and roughhouse potential. I like really big, really happy dogs.

3. What's the most important thing you think you've learned from your psychology studies?

Everything we do has a purpose. Even the most maladaptive human behavior is /someone/ trying to make sense and sanity out of their lives. We're all striving, we're all coping as best as we can, and most maladaptive behaviors or cognitions have, at their core, some adaptive principle that's just been overapplied, or overemphasised. But everyone is /trying/.

4. Where were you born?

Toumey Hospital, Sumter, SC. I can't really get much more specific than that, I fear, since my memories of the event aren't large. :D

5. What's your favorite genre for setting games in?

Ohhhh, man. That's a tough one. It's a tossup between high fantasy and modern day horror/fantasy. Someday, I'd like to try blending high fantasy and hardcore horror, but I don't think I could get anyone to play with me. :D
