Today I’ll take a stab at my first Friday Five. I can’t help but obey the impulse to do something cute that everyone else is doing on their site. I’m weak, but if you know me then you already knew that. Anyway, here goes:

• What makes you homesick? – It’s weird, but “homesick” to me translates to “nostalgic for the places of my youth.” I don’t really get homesick for my current home, since I never really leave it. To answer the question, it’s usually a scent or a sight that sets it off.
• Where is “home” for you? Is it where you are living now, or somewhere else? – Portland is my home. I’ve lived in a variety of houses and apartments in this city, but as long as I’m in the Greater Portland/Vancouver Metropolitan Area(tm) I’m home.
• What makes it home for you? People? Things? – This city is home because I can’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else. Sure, I want to travel and visit other cities, other lands. When I’m here, though, I’m at peace.
• Where is the furthest you’ve been from home, miles-wise? – Probably a thousand or so, on various trips around the country. I was in Indianapolis for a business meeting about a year ago. I don’t travel much, though.
• What are your plans for this weekend? – I don’t have any. Given that it’s my birthday today, you might suppose that I have all kinds of grand plans. No such luck, really. I get paid in a week, so I’ll do all my fun stuff next weekend instead.

Friday Five

I‘ve given up and created a “Surveys” category for all the silly surveys and what-not I tend to fill out.

Anyway, now I know what kind of D&D character I am:

Chaotic Good Elf Bard Mage

Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently conccern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

Secondary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.

Deity:
Hanali Cenanil is the Chaotic Good elven goddess of love, beauty, and art. She is also known as the Heart of Gold and Lady Goldheart. Her followers delight in creation and youth, and work to spread happiness, love, and beauty. Their preferred weapon is the dagger.
