if you're not a penguin...shut it - Floating My OWN Boat v.2

Okay, so I finally allowed someone to 'interview' me, and although I expected questions like, "What sort of complete and utter idiot falls in love with someone so young and expects him NOT to leave?", I've actually ended up with some far less frightening ones.

But, s. could only come up with four. SO, while I contemplate these questions before returning to give you well-considered and thoughtful answers, I'll let each of you ask the ONE OR TWO burning questions you have about me. Except of course for the one in the first paragraph above.

Leave 'em in the comments and I'll be back to answer them all in one fell swoop on Friday or Saturday.

Except the smartass questions or those that have nothing to do with me. ie: What kind of a question is this? A USELESS WASTE OF YOUR ONE QUESTION, is what kind of question it is.

1. ~~If you could teleport to any time period (past or future), when would it be, and why?~~

2. ~~What's one thing you haven't done that you absolutely must do before you die?~~

3. ~~Where were you born?~~

4. ~~What are your top five favourite books?~~

5. ~~Yourself specifically excluded, who has been the single most influential person in your life? And, why?~~

6. If you could do this without repercussions, to whom in your life would you apologise, and why ?

7. If you had the power to fix one problem or one issue that casues the human family sadness and/or death, ie, hungar or violence, what would you fix? Please explain your choice.
