Tell Me About Yourself: The personal thread about persons

[Funkyblueeyes]

I'm going to do one of those old-timey questionnaires, partially for the kick of it and partially to get to know the many guildians who come through our doors each day! Don't answer anything that makes you uncomfortable and feel free to ask some questions yourself! I can add them to the main post. (Just try to stay respectful.) Only answer as many as you feel like in the moment, it's not an all or nothing thing.
