1. What is something that you've always wanted to cook, but have never gotten the chance to make?
Bread baking, particularly sourdough. Last time I tried to get a sourdough starter going, it was too cold, and now that it's warmed up, I don't have time.
2. When choosing video games to play, what aspects of the video game do you look at?
Generally I look for things that other people whose tastes I trust have enjoyed. I also look for interesting characterizations/storylines, I look at franchises I've previously had fun with, and I look at the type of game. Even if everybody and their cat has loved it, if it's a game style I don't enjoy, I won't have fun with it, and I'm working on learning that. I generally love adventure games (Ocarina of Time is probably my all-time favorite, and I'm really enjoying Jax and Daxter right now), I like RPGs, fighting games are okay in small doses (which is why I didn't pick up the second Dissidia), but I can't play FPS or games with first-person camera angles at all. I have low tolerances for frustration; if I get stuck on a boss battle for a day or two, I tend to put the game down and not come back to it.
3. If you could thank anyone from the past (who is now dead) for what they've done for society, who would you thank?
That's... a really hard question, just because I have a hard time pinning societal change on the actions of a single person, rather than a larger movement. Maybe Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
4. What is your favorite flavor of gelato?
Coconut.
5. Besides knitting, what hobbies do you enjoy?
Spinning and weaving. Getting away from the fiber arts, I like reading, writing, video games, shopping (especially thrifting and antiquing), watching movies, eating, and travel.

(Is it obvious that I want someone else to geek about bread with? XD)
