1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
Utterly boring and dull - using my name.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
-- Female, except when I'm rowing and then I'm Awesome Female!

3) what age category and geographic location do you fall into?
-- Old enough to know better, young enough not to care, USA.

4) Have you seen any Discworld movies, did you like them and do you have faith in future productions being good, better or worse than current ones?
(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.)
-- Haven't seen the discworld movies - a project on the list. I'd love to see someone GREAT and with real obsession in their heart for the source material take this on.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Found it on my own, have since found a few other fans of the discworld. To put things into perspective, this is the only "fanboard" type of thing I've ever even contemplated joining. It does seem such a jolly place, though, that it made me overcome my usual reticence in these matters.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
none today... maybe another time!
