Forty-one years of Life has taught me a great many things (with three years in Germany, one in Croatia, one in Korea, and a visit to Quebec). Everybody likes to talk about those things (and their kids or their pets, if they have them), and a smile and a raised glass transcend all language barriers. Universal constants; I like that about people.

There, you're opening up a very deep topic. There are three subjects that everybody (and I mean everybody) on the planet can gleefully discuss at great length, without ever stopping. Love, Sex, and Food. I like that about people; universal constants.

When I was much younger, I served six years in the Infantry. I was a decent troopie, but nothing spectacular. I re-enlisted in 2006, and became a Medic, and I can honestly say I'm one of the best medics in the Squadron. Killing people and breaking stuff is easy; preventive medicine and trauma treatment is a lot harder. I like that I'm better at saving lives than I was at taking them. That's what that means. :)

I like aquiring wisdom and experience, mostly when I have the opportunity to pass it along to others. There's something deeply satisfying about being the 'Go-To Guy' for certain information, at times. Of course, I also like an uniterrupted night's sleep, which sometimes doesn't happen when you're the 'Go-To Guy'... Meh... c'est la vie.

One of my first times playing; I think my character was maybe 3rd level. I was meandering around some ruined fort just west of Roxy Inn (I forget which one), I was preparing to enter the door, buffing myself with detection spells, when an NPC Khajiit adventurer comes bolting out of the door with a summoned scamp companion, and rushes right past me. I was quite confused, spinning about to see what was going on, when the troll that was pursuing the NPC exited the door, and decided I was easier pickings than the Khajiit. Scared the bejeezus out of me, and took me down in about two swipes before I even had a chance to draw my sword.

I like the fact that I've spent more hours futzing about with the many mods I've d/l'ed for Oblivion than I've spent actually playing Oblivion. I like the fact that I'm a better Medic at age 41 than I was an Infantryman at age 23 (there's some positive karma for ya'). I like how 99.9% of the commentary on TESNexus (and associated forums) is written in grammatically correct language, and not IM(an idiot) abbreviations OMFGLOLBBQEIEIOetc... "Hookers and lookers and nookie that stings, These are a few of my favorite things..." :whistling:
