1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
--At the time of joining the old boards, I was in the middle of reading Hogfather, and Hex made me laugh. I like the idea of a machine being more intelligent than a bunch of wizards, and I hope I can match that intelligence!

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
--Female

3) what age category and geographic location do you fall into?
--17 (but not for much longer), and I live in Nebraska (as of three weeks ago), and before that London. Originally from the US. If you can figure that out, you deserve a cookie.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
--I'm skeptical, since most movie adaptations suck, but I have been given hope after LOTR was a success. And hey, I would go to see it anyway, even if only just to say how crap it was.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
--I read The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents about three or so years ago for the Carnegie medal nominations, and after that I hunted down the rest of the books in libraries and stores, and have been hooked ever since!

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
--"If it weren't for Jesus, the 12 apostles probably would have killed each other!" -- The priest at the local church, just a small section of today's sermon.
